This Monday, we explored Carnival Cruise Line’s Adventure-Class ships—Carnival Adventure (2002) and Carnival Encounter (2002), which sail out of Australia. Which have you been on?
Carnival Cruise Line celebrated 35 years of fun sailing from Port Canaveral. The celebration took place aboard Mardi Gras while she was in port and included members of the Canaveral Port Authority, the United States Coast Guard, and Brevard County. Carnival has about 300 departures annually from Port Canaveral, and its guests contribute about $450 million in revenue to the area before and after those cruises.
