Carnival's history the launch of Carnival Cruise Line is a classic take of the American

dream started by the late Ted Arison the company began operating in 1972 with the vision a single secondhand ship and just

enough fuel to make a one-way trip from Miami to San Juan Ted had an amazing vision and that was to make cruising Fun

For All and affordable to everyone Ted was in shipping and saw an opportunity to get into the cruise business sailing

out of Miami carnival started with a single ship the Marty gr a converted ocean

liner previously called the Empress of Canada on the Marty gr maum Voyage she became stuck on the rocks in kis G the

tides had gone up too soon so the decision was made to open the bar with the drink special being Marty gross on

the rocks it is reported that someone drink in hand said hey this is a fun ship and from that point on Carnival's

funships were born and then modern cruise industry began when the times came back in the Marty gr finally was

able to get off the rocks and Carnival has been sailing ever since in 1982 with the launch of the

tropical Carnival showcased the first neverbe seen and largely admired winged funnel the same one probably displayed

on Carnival ships today in 1984 Carnival became the first cruise line to advertise on network tele

tevision with the premiere of a new advertising campaign starring company spokesperson Kathy Lee Gord then Kathy

Lee Johnson in 1987 Carnival earned the distinction as the most popular Cruise Line in the world carrying more

passengers than any other until 1987 Carnival was a privately owned company until we became publicly traded on the

New York Stock Exchange Carnival's parent company was renamed to Carnival Corporation to

distinguish it from its Flagship brand Carnival Cruise Line in 1993 Carnival Cru line is part of a global family of

all that stuff it started a bit over 50 years ago when a man set out with a secondhand ship and a belief cruising

should be accessible to everyone and fun most definitely fun a belief passed down from father to son from ship to ship and

in the process my oh my how those ships have continued to be amazing Fun Machines our secret sauce combined the

experiences you can have on a Carnival ship Unforgettable yep get ready to make your other memories jealous because fun

this is how life was meant to be lived and look we know that Fun's relative his fun is different than her fun is

different from theirs is different from yours maybe your fun is flying down a giant water slide or racing to the sky
