The line operates trips in the Caribbean, Alaska and the Pacific Islands. Carnival Corporation & plc, in addition to operating its cruise ships fleet, also owns the Holland America Princess Alaska Tours as well as the Princess Cruises within the Canadian Yukon.
The company has made several announcements recently about its cruise ships as well as its plans for the future. In addition, it has started to work on several initiatives that will reduce its environmental impact. It has already pledged to recycle all discarded soap. It will also reprocess the soap and distribute new bars of soap to vulnerable communities throughout the world.
Carnival recently announced a new partnership in Clean the World. This partnership will improve the company’s recycling efforts across the Caribbean. Carnival will collect the discarded soap from the Caribbean and ship it to the Clean the World in the United States. This facility will produce 400,000 bars of soap that can be used to clean the environment and distributed them to communities in need around the globe.
The company has another campaign for children in the works. Carnival Cruise Line's new camp for kids, Camp Ocean, is now available for families with kids ages five and older. The camp is free for children and offers games, breakfast and other family-friendly activities. However, children under the age of five are not allowed to participate in the camps.
A "green cruising platform" is being developed by the cruise line. It will include a vessel that can be powered by LNG and other innovative features. One of these features is a pedal-powered open air aerial attraction known as the SkyRide. This feature offers panoramic views of ocean from 150 feet high.
Clean the World joined the cruise line's partnership earlier this month. This is the third partnership between the two companies. The companies will create new initiatives in Central and South America to reduce waste disposal and improve hygiene services.
Carnival also announced that it will redeploy ships to Australia. The Carnival Splendor will return to Australia at the close of the year. The ship will be inactive for a few months until it is re-enabled at its home port of Long Beach.
Carnival Cruise Line is the world's largest cruise line. It offers various three-to 24-day voyages to destinations in the Caribbean, Mexico, and the Pacific Islands. It won the Best Family Cruise Line Award in Travel Weekly's Readers Choice Awards, as well as other awards.
Several of Carnival's cruise ships have a kids' club, called Camp Ocean, for ages five and older. Select cruises will offer families a concierge service. The ship will offer a complimentary morning meal for families and a fun family game room.

How To
How to avoid seasickness while on cruise
You can avoid seasickness by wearing a cap while on cruise. A wide-brimmed head hat can prevent motion sickness. It keeps the head still and helps keep it from moving.
The hat keeps water from the face and reduces the moisture in the air. This allows people who are prone to dizziness from inhaling moist air to breathe more easily.
Another tip: Drink lots of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate your body, making it more difficult for fluids to move around in your stomach. Drinking enough liquids will help reduce the amount of salt in the bloodstream. Salt causes the body and kidneys to retain water. This can lead to nausea.
Try eating salty foods if you feel nauseated. Salty foods increase the production of hydrochloric, which helps to break down food.
You can also take medications to alleviate seasickness if none of these methods work. Be aware that some medications may have side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, and headaches.
