Carnival Expects Record Number of Kid Cruisers in 2010

Carnival Cruise Lines anticipates a record number of 650,000 passengers under age 18 in 2010, which would represent a six-fold increase from the number reported 12 years ago.

“At Carnival, we take ‘fun’ very seriously, and the Fun Ships’ numerous kid-friendly amenities, enthusiastic youth counselors and spacious state-of-the-art facilities provide the ultimate family vacation,” said Gerry Cahill, Carnival president and CEO.

Kid-friendly features onboard include the Camp Carnival kids’ program; outdoor play areas; children’s activities menus; and a Fountain Fun Card program for unlimited soft drink purchases for guests under age 18. (www.carnival.com)
