Carnival's 'Funtennial' Celebration Offers Special Booking Incentives and
Giveaways Throughout March

MIAMI, Feb. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Carnival Cruise Lines will roll out
its first-ever "Funtennial" celebration offering a variety of special offers
and giveaways throughout the month of March, commemorating the anniversary
of the cruise line's inaugural voyage in March 1972.

The month-long promotion will feature a different booking incentive each
week during March, including free stateroom upgrades, shipboard credits,
special savings and more.

The special offers are available in conjunction with a wide variety of "Fun
Ship" departures, including select three- to five-day getaways to the
Caribbean or Mexico, seven-day voyages to the Caribbean or Mexican Riviera,
or longer length sailings to the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and South
America.

Additionally, each week in March, a drawing will be held awarding a free
cruise, along with a number of high quality digital cameras, to those who
book any "Fun Ship" voyage that week.

The weekly cruise giveaway encompasses a four- or five-day western Caribbean
voyage in an owner's suite on the Carnival Imagination from Miami or
Carnival Inspiration from Tampa. These two ships are the first to undergo
all phases of the line's "Evolutions of Fun" product enhancement initiative
and now feature the Carnival WaterWorks aqua park, Serenity adults-only
retreat, resort-style main pool area, and renovated staterooms and spas.

Consumers who book a "Fun Ship" cruise during the promotional period are
also automatically registered to win one of 10 Fuji digital cameras to be
given away each week during the "Funtennial" celebration - perfect for
capturing terrific "Fun Ship" vacation memories.

"Our new 'Funtennial' promotion is a fun and unique way to celebrate our
company's anniversary while providing consumers with some very attractive
savings and upgrades, along with some great prizes and giveaways," said
Ruben Rodriguez, Carnival's executive vice president of marketing and guest
experience.

Carnival is the largest and most popular cruise line in the world, with 22
"Fun Ships" operating voyages ranging from three to 18 days in length to the
Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii, New England, Canada, Bermuda,
Europe, the Greek Isles and South America. The line has three new ships
scheduled for delivery between now and 2011.
