Tourexpi
Carnival
President Christine Duffy visited Carnival Sunrise today as guests
boarded the ship at PortMiami, where the cruise line was founded, to thank them
for choosing fun since 1972 and making Carnival the world's most popular cruise
line.
The milestone was
commemorated as Debi and David Clifford, who are vacationing from Ohio and
representing Carnival guests everywhere as the 100 millionth, boarded the ship
with their family. They were recognized with fanfare from Duffy and the ship's
team members, who are led by Captain Luca Cherchi. Other guests embarking
on the cruise were able to take part in the festivities as well – and take
special photos signifying how each is "One in 100 Million."
"We're the first
cruise line to meet this incredible mark of 100 million guests and I believe it
is a testament to the fun, inclusive atmosphere our valued guests and our
extraordinary team members have created together on board our ships for the
past 51 years," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise
Line. "There is certainly much more fun to come. We're continuing to grow
our operations at a rapid pace – with three ships joining our fleet by the
spring of next year."
The company's new
Carnival Celebration is already proving popular with guests in its first few
months of sailing from Miami, and now the cruise line is preparing for
another ship to debut in May. Carnival Venezia will expand Carnival's New
York offerings from seasonal to year-round and bring to life a host of
all-new "Carnival Fun Italian Style" experiences. Later this year,
Carnival Jubilee, a third sister ship to Mardi Gras and Carnival
Celebration, will join the fleet and sail from Galveston, Tex. In the
spring of 2024, Carnival Firenze, sister ship to Carnival Venezia, will begin
offering year-round cruises from Long Beach, Calif.
