Carnival Cruise Lines Let You Get Behind The Fun
For those who want to get an insider’s look at the inner-workings of a Carnival Fun Ship, the line has created Behind the Fun, a guided tour that provides guests with a unique insight into the company’s shipboard operations.
Currently available on the Carnival Valor and Carnival Conquest, the program will be rolled out to all twelve of the line’s ships operating voyages of seven days or longer by the end of September.
The informative three-and-a-half hour tour offers participants a behind-the-scenes look at a wide range of shipboard venues that are normally off limits to guests. During the tour, key shipboard personnel, including the captain, chief engineer, chef de cuisine and other department heads, share their vast knowledge of their particular area of expertise.
Behind the Fun begins with a stop backstage in the main show lounge where participants can see exactly what goes into creating Carnival’s award-winning revues. The tour then moves on to normally restricted areas such as the laundry room, crew galley and dining room, crew gym, and crew-training center.
Next, it’s on to the expansive main galley where talented culinary artists prepare upwards of 12,000 meals and snacks a day for Carnival’s guests. The tour also includes a visit to the ship’s bridge and engine control room and informative Q&A sessions with the captain and chief engineer.
“Cruising is a fascinating industry and our new Behind the Fun tour offers guests an opportunity to not only explore areas that others rarely get to see, but also meet some of the people that make the Fun Ship vacation experience so memorable, ” said Roberta Jacoby, Carnival’s senior vice president of hotel operations.
In addition to a comprehensive overview of Carnival’s shipboard operations, Behind the Fun participants receive a number of commemorative gifts, including a custom-made Behind the Fun baseball cap and lanyard, a Team Carnival Picture Perfect book with stunning photographs of Carnival ships, and destinations taken by the line’s employees, and complimentary photos with the captain on the bridge.
Behind the Fun tours can be booked through the ships’ shore excursion desk. The cost is $95 per person and capacity is limited to sixteen guests per tour. Guests must be thirteen or older to participate.
A version of the Behind the Fun tour is planned for Carnival ships that operate itineraries of less than seven days in length.
Carnival has twenty-two Fun Ships operating three to sixteen-day voyages to the Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, New England, Bermuda, and Europe.
