    Carnival is “The World’s Most Popular Cruise Line” with 24 “Fun Ships” operating voyages ranging from three to 16 days in length to the Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, New England, Europe, and Bermuda. Carnival’s success is attributed to its marketing program directed towards pretty much all types of travellers (Young, middle age, seniors, first time and seasoned cruisers). One important aspect of the marketing program built upon the ship as the destination rather that some particular port of call. The main advertising theme has been that Carnival cruises are “Fun Ships” as its current slogan says “FUN FOR ALL - ALL FOR FUN”.

    At the present time, the US economy has began to slow and this will have a direct impact on the cruise industry. Also, the industry depends heavily on travel agents to do the majority of their booking. This has caused the cruise operators to be hesitant in implementing on line booking and other marketing plans in fear of the travel agents refusing to sell their packages. Finally, the increase of competition in the industry will begin to make it more difficult to continue to operate cruises at full capacity, which is vital in this industry because of the high fixed costs associated with the…
