New Seven-Day Eastern Caribbean Itinerary Added to Carnival Conquest's
Routes for 2009 and 2010
Complements Ship's Existing Seven-Day Western Caribbean Itinerary from
Galveston
MIAMI, March 26
Carnival Cruise Lines' 2,974- passenger Carnival Conquest will offer a
new seven-day itinerary from Galveston, Texas, that will include port
calls to Key West, Fla., and Freeport and Nassau, The Bahamas.
The new weeklong cruise option will be offered approximately once a
month from February 2009 through April 2010 and will complement the
ship's existing Western Caribbean cruise schedule featuring stops at
Montego Bay, Jamaica; George Town, Grand Cayman; and Cozumel, Mexico.
"Carnival is the number one cruise line sailing from Galveston,
operating more ships and carrying more passengers than any other
cruise line, and this new Eastern Caribbean itinerary provides yet
another exciting seven-day option designed to appeal to both repeat
guests and first-time cruisers," said Lynn C. Torrent, Carnival's
senior vice president of sales and guest services.
While Key West may be famous to some for its Key Lime pie and conch
cuisine, America's southernmost tip is filled with colorful bars and
equally colorful characters in what may as well be the tropics. For
history enthusiasts, Ernest Hemingway's house displays his original
manuscripts and is home to his famed six-toed cats.
Freeport and Nassau embody the laid-back atmosphere of The Bahamas
with their pristine white sand, turquoise waters, gentle surf and
exotic marine life. For those who prefer a more active experience, the
islands also offer sophisticated shopping, world-class fishing,
Victorian mansions and vibrant bazaars.
Carnival Conquest, the signature vessel in the line's popular
Conquest- class series, offers a host of on-board facilities and
features: 22 lounges and bars, four swimming pools -- one with a
214-foot-long "Twister Waterslide -- a 14,500-square-foot spa, a
variety of formal and casual dining options, ship-wide Wi-Fi Internet
access and cell phone service.
Family friendly amenities include three different youth programs --
"Camp Carnival" for ages 2-11, "Circle C" for 12- to 14-year-olds, and
"Club O2" for older teens -- with facilities, activities and
counselors specific to their age group.
Carnival Conquest also offers a variety of accommodation categories,
all of which feature the Carnival Comfort Bed sleep system, with plush
mattresses, luxurious duvets and high quality linens and pillows.
