MORE THAN $100,000 IN PRIZES AVAILABLE ON FOUR CARNIVAL

‘WINNERS SLOT TOURNAMENT CRUISES’ IN 2006

MIAMI (February 14, 2006) – Carnival Cruise Lines and the
Ocean Players Club will host four “Winners Slot Tournament Cruises” in
2006, featuring more than $100,000 in cash and prizes.

Three preliminary slot tournaments will be held on the
Carnival Conquest’s March 5-12 voyage from Galveston, Carnival Pride’s
May 14-21 cruise from Long Beach, Calif., and Carnival Legend’s Sept.
9-17 cruise from New York. A “Grand Final Event” tournament will take
place on the Carnival Victory’s Nov. 12-19 voyage from Miami.

The tournaments are open to guests age 18 and over.
Tournament space is limited and booked guests are encouraged to enter
prior to departure by completing the online registration form
available at www.oceanplayersclub.com. Entry fee for the first three
tournaments is $50 per person and $250 for the final cruise and is
payable on board.

Prizes from each of the first three preliminary slot tournaments total
more than $10,000 in cash and the top three winners from those
tournaments also receive a complimentary stateroom and free entry for
the finals held aboard the Carnival Victory. The winner of the grand
final tournament will receive $25,000, as well as complimentary suite
accommodations on a future Carnival sailing.

“With more than $100,000 up for grabs, our ‘Winners Slot Tournament
Cruises’ will be a thrilling event for our guests and offer an
exciting opportunity for them to win some great cash and cruise
prizes,” said Bob Dickinson, Carnival president and CEO.

The Carnival Conquest, Pride, Legend and Victory all offer an
expansive casino, featuring more than 200 slot machines and a variety
of table games, including blackjack, craps, roulette and poker.

All tournament participants will receive an invitation to a private
cocktail and awards reception during each cruise. Guests who
pre-register for the tournament prior to the cruise will also receive
a special Bon Voyage gift in their stateroom.

In addition to fast-paced casino action, slot tournament
participants enjoy a wide range of on-board amenities, including a
variety of lounges, bars and entertainment venues, formal and casual
dining options, a state-of-the-art health and fitness center and four
swimming pools.

The Ocean Players Club offers something for every level of player,
from awards for playing slots to establishing credit lines and betting
limits for high rollers. Players can earn points at the slots toward
instant cash rewards, complimentary beverages, free gifts, and future
cruise benefits. Ocean Players Club will rebate the entry fee on
board with the new “Cash Back” instant rebate system. Every $10 of
instant cash back guests earn on the cruise will be matched up to the
cost of the entry fee.

Prices for the “Winners Slot Tournaments Cruises” begin at
$479 per person. Special rates for third and fourth guests sailing in
the same stateroom, along with round-trip air transportation from more
than 170 North American gateways, are also available.
