Carnival is “The World’s Most Popular Cruise Line” with 24 “Fun Ships” operating voyages ranging from three to 16 days in length to the Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, New England, Europe, and Bermuda. Carnival’s success is attributed to its marketing program directed towards pretty much all types of travellers (Young, middle age, seniors, first time and seasoned cruisers). One important aspect of the marketing program built upon the ship as the destination rather that some particular port of call. The main advertising theme has been that Carnival cruises are “Fun Ships” as its current slogan says “FUN FOR ALL - ALL FOR FUN”. Carnival prides itself on delivering fun, memorable vacations to their guest by offering a wide array of quality cruises, which present outstanding value for the money.…
Day Two: Its day two which means that it is December 28, 1872. Today is my off day and good thing too because the sky is very gloomy and cold. In the morning all of us cleaned our bunks and straightened our clothes because no one likes messy rooms. I had been nominated to cook for our cabin today so as soon as I got in the kitchen I got started. I prepared my meal of salted pork, potatoes, and carrots with a lot of care. Since we were early on in our journey we had plenty of supplies available. The thought of being onboard for so long honestly scares me because I know there will be fights and sickness.…
While on Procand, the name of the ship, I played solitaire or go fish with others. During my time on the ships I got used to horrid seawater smell. From time to time I would go up from steerage to see the sky, and get some long needed fresh air.…

Entering that magnificent boat was slightly different from merely admiring it. I did not know anyone and nobody knew me. My locker had to be spotless, but I did not really remember all the cleaning details. I decided to ask another stateroom stewardess. She was from Nicaragua; I think she could have been my grandma.…
My sister and I wandered around the boat eating all the delicious food and trying foods that we have never seen before. One of my favorite types of foods they had were an ice cream station that you could There was so much food it could fill the whole cruise ship! It was close to dinner so we dressed up and headed down to the deluxe dining room. For dinner, my parents ordered calamari for me. My…

I boarded the boat thinking it wouldn’t be that bad. I was wrong. I stayed in the steerage for months. The steerage is the below deck part of the boat where the steering mechanisms are. It was disgusting, dark and cramped. Although we were under such conditions, I still managed to make a few friends. The sad part is I watched many of them get sick and eventually die. This one boy in particular fell seriously ill practically over night. He seemed to be in excruciating pain. I was lucky I didn’t come down with the same sickness.…
With the long journey and the unexpected, the crew will defiantly get restless. Another issue I expect to have is not having enough supplies and food to last for such a long trip. What really worries me and the crew is pirates. Not only pirates but our enemy of the state. Our bordering country of the north who I will never say there name is out there. They are armed and dangerous. I can rest assure you that we have the best ship in the ocean. “…
It was a horrific experience that I would never want to go through again. At first it was just a normal night, a little rough but nothing too major. We were just off the coast of Leyte and Guam when we were hit by two missiles. At first I was just lying in bed and thought it was a problem with the engines until the abandon ship order was given. The abandon ship order is the worst nightmare for any seamen. There was nothing I could do except follow procedures, I woke all the other men that hadn’t been woken up yet and we rushed to the deck, grabbed a life jacket and waited until the ship was close enough to the water so that when we jumped we would not die on impact. Hitting water from high enough up is like hitting concrete. We dove into the water and swam as fast as we can could away…
As soon as we walk on, one of the crew members asked our last name, and then through a microphone they say, “Welcome aboard Holcomb family!” It is then when the excitement inside me wants to come streaming down my face in the form of tears, but it only gets better from there. Tall beautiful paintings, clear glass elevators that stretched from floor to ceiling, and a Mickey Mouse statue is the first thing to see on the ship. The fresh smell of newly cut flowers filled my nostrils as I walked by. Everywhere I seemed to look all I would see were the animated faces of fellow passengers waiting to embark on a journey so great that it made a five star resort look bad. Like the thrill of a five year old when they get a new toy, I immediately ran up to my stateroom to check it out. I inserted my card and opened a door to freedom. The smell of recently washed sheets caught my attention as I walked in the stateroom. Shocked with amazement, my eyes quickly wondered to the towel animal awaiting, and Disney chocolates for the whole family that lay on the…

It's an energetic, guest-focused environment. With an average of more than 2,500 guests onboard your particular ship, it's an opportunity to contribute to the success of a world-class operation, while enriching your own experience. Though it can be very rewarding, it can also be challenging, and it will probably take some time to acclimate to the pace of it all. Because it's a 24-hour operation, you can expect to work long hours seven days a week. Additionally, in order to ensure that everyone is familiar with safety procedures (in the case of an emergency), you will be expected to participate in relevant training sessions and drills.…
