Carnival Cruise Lines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (450 words)

Carnival is well-known for the towel animals it creates for its guests in their cabins.
Three of the Carnival cruise ships were chartered by the United States government for six months to serve as temporary housing in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Cruise Critic Reviews: Carnival Glory (1977 words)
Overall, Carnival Glory's biggest strength is its appeal to a wide variety of travelers, from families and groups to couples.
Carnival reports that 30 percent of its passengers are under the age of 35, 40 percent are between 35 and 55, and 30 percent are over 55.
Carnival recommends $10 per person, per day, broken down to $5.50 to the headwaiter/waiter, $1 to the assistant waiter/cooks and $3.50 to the cabin steward; the amount is automatically added to your shipboard account but can be adjusted in either direction at the purser's desk.
