MIAMI, Sept. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- For the
second consecutive year, Carnival Cruise Line has been named Most
Trusted Cruise Line in America by Reader's Digest.
The award is based on a poll of more than 5,000 Americans
nationwide who were asked to rate products they trust across 40
different categories in areas such as quality, value, and
reliability. Carnival received more votes than any other
cruise line. The awards are featured in the October issue of
Reader's Digest.
Carnival continues to enhance its onboard offerings, building
upon its brand promise of providing fun, memorable vacations at a
great value while keeping up with consumer trends and exceeding the
expectations of its guests.
Earlier this year marked the debut of the line's newest, largest
and most innovative ship, Carnival Vista, which offers such
groundbreaking features as the SkyRide aerial attraction, the first
IMAX Theatre at sea, the RedFrog Pub & Brewery that includes
the line's first on-board brewery and the fleet's largest water
park highlighted by the 455-foot-long Kaleid-o-Slide.
Carnival has also expanded upon its exclusive partnerships with
Food Network star Guy Fieri with
plans to roll out the new Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que
Smokehouse on several ships and Dr. Seuss
Enterprises, serving as the Official Seagoing Headquarters
for The Cat in the Hat's presidential campaign, part of the
fleetwide Seuss at Sea program.
Carnival is also a major supporter of St. Jude Children's
Research Hospital, raising more than $10
million for the hospital since launching its Care to
Play: Carnival for St. Jude Kids program in 2010. As part
of its Honor. Family. Fun. program honoring Operation Homefront, an
organization that assists military families, Carnival will be
hosting an exclusive shipboard concert for military families by
seven-time Grammy Award-winning country music superstar
Carrie Underwood aboard the new
Carnival Vista when it makes its U.S. arrival in November.
The Carnival Journeys enrichment series is also expanding with
more than 20 voyages visiting spectacular ports throughout
Alaska, Hawaii, the Caribbean, and other destinations.
"Vacations are more important than ever and as America's Cruise
Line we consider it an honor that our guests entrust us with their
well-deserved vacations year after year," said Christine Duffy, Carnival's president. "Being
named America's Most Trusted Cruise Line by the readers of Reader's
Digest for two years running is a testament to our focus on
providing our guests with unforgettable vacations as well as the
incredible effort put forth by our team members, both on board and
ashore," she added.
