MIAMI, May 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- For the fourth
consecutive year, Carnival Cruise Line has been named "America's
Most Trusted Cruise Line" by Reader's Digest, a Trusted Media
Brands, Inc., (TMBI) company and one of the country's largest and
most respected media brands.
The Reader's Digest Trusted Brand Survey® is an
independent, online survey conducted in partnership with Ipsos
Connect. This year's survey polled 5,500 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 full list of Reader's Digest Trusted brands is available on
RD.com and can be found in the publication's June 2018 issue which goes on sale today.
"We take great pride in our distinction as America's Cruise Line
so being named Reader's Digest Most Trusted Cruise Line for four
years running is very gratifying and reaffirms our commitment to
delivering our brand promise of providing fun, memorable vacations
at a great value," said Christine
Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. "This award
is shared by our 40,000 dedicated employees both on board and
ashore, who are truly the reason for our success," she added.
Carnival is continually updating and enhancing its onboard
experience to meet the ever-changing needs of its guests. The
line's newest ship, Carnival Horizon, which debuted in April, is a
perfect example with innovations like the first-ever Dr.
Seuss-themed water park – part of the line's exclusively
partnership with Dr. Seuss Enterprises – as well as the Smokehouse
Brewhouse with barbecue favorites created by Food Network star and
longtime Carnival partner Guy Fieri
along with four craft beers brewed on board.
The line has expanded its itinerary choices to include day-long
and overnight calls in Havana,
Cuba, with Carnival Paradise, Carnival Sensation, Carnival
Victory, Carnival Triumph and Carnival Sunshine offering three- to
eight-day voyages that visit the historic capital.
Carnival has also invested hundreds of millions of dollars in
its ongoing ship refurbishment program that has added a wide
variety of popular food, beverage, entertainment, and activity
choices across the fleet which appeal to its multi-generational
customer base.
Continuing in its desire to be a good corporate citizen,
Carnival and its employees support a broad range of philanthropic
organizations. These include raising more than $16 million for St. Jude Children's Research
Hospital in the fight against childhood cancer and partnering with
Operation Homefront on events and activities that fulfill the
organization's mission of building strong, stable and secure
military families. Last week, Carnival Corporation was named for
the third year in a row as one of the top 100 corporate citizens in
the U.S. by Corporate Responsibility magazine.
