Carnival Cruise Lines Price Increase is coming...

MIAMI (February 24, 2010) - Carnival Cruise Lines is reporting record
wave
season bookings, with strong reservations activity for 2010
departures.
As a result of the strong booking volumes, a general price increase
will
be implemented effective March 22 for all June, July, and August
sailings.
For the period of Jan. 1 through Feb. 21, 2010, bookings were at
unprecedented levels for the line's 22 ships which operate three- to
15-day
voyages from a variety of convenient North American home ports.
Carnival President and CEO Gerry Cahill said, "We're seeing
significantly
increased volume as consumers are taking advantage of the incredible
value
that a Carnival cruise provides. And while pricing hasn't fully
recovered
to 2008 levels, we are increasing prices and will implement an
across-the-board increase effective March 22."
He said that the price increases will vary by departure date but will
be
up to 5 percent. Cahill attributed the record booking activity to a
wide
range of factors, including strong travel agent partner support,
targeted
marketing initiatives, itinerary enhancements and the wide variety of
close-to-home departure points.
Wave season typically runs from about mid-January through early spring
and
is traditionally the busiest, most important booking period in the
cruise
industry.
Carnival Cruise Lines is the largest and most popular cruise line in
the
world, with 22 "Fun Ships" operating voyages ranging from three to 15
days
in length to The Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, Alaska, Hawaii,
Panama Canal, Canada, New England and Europe.
Carnival also has two new ships on order -- the 130,000-ton Carnival
Magic, which is scheduled for delivery in 2011, and a sister ship set
to
debut in 2012.
