Carnival Cruise Lines, Whodunit Productions Team Up for Series of
'Whodunit Mystery Cruises' in 2008-2009
Eight Different Three-Day Voyages Offered Aboard 'Fun Ship' Carnival
Paradise from Long Beach
MIAMI, March 27
Carnival Cruise Lines, the world's largest cruise operator, and
Whodunit Productions, the leading organizer of mystery cruises at sea,
have teamed up for a series of "Whodunit Cruises" aboard the
2,052-passenger "Fun Ship" Carnival Paradise from Long Beach, Calif.,
in 2008 and 2009.
Eight different three-day "Mystery Cruises" will be offered, the first
of which will depart, appropriately enough, on Halloween -- Oct. 31,
2008. Other departure dates include Jan. 9, Feb. 13, March 13, May 1,
July 17, Oct. 30, and Dec. 4, 2009.
The "Whodunit Cruises" on the Carnival Paradise will encompass a
variety of exciting activities taking place throughout the various
public rooms and areas aboard the massive 70,000-ton SuperLiner -- all
with the objective of solving the mystery at the end of the voyage.
When participants arrive on board, they are given their own role to
play and are encouraged to utilize the traits of their character to
find out "whodunit." "Mystery Cruise" participants also can interact
with professional actors hired specifically to set the tone for the
mystery by creating an unforgettable atmosphere of suspense and
intrigue.
A variety of top-secret clues, everything from notes slipped
discreetly under stateroom doors to instructions for various
clandestine missions, are provided throughout the cruise. As the clues
unravel, participants have to solve the mystery -- before it's too
late!
In addition to the opportunity to put their crime-solving skills to
the test, "Mystery Cruise" participants can enjoy a special Super
Sleuth cocktail party at the end of the cruise to announce the
Whodunit winner.
"Carnival is delighted to team up with 'Whodunit Productions' to
create these exciting 'Mystery Cruises,' which offer participants an
opportunity to combine a highly intriguing and entertaining activity
with all the fun and relaxation of a 'Fun Ship' cruise," said Lynn C.
Torrent, Carnival's senior vice president of sales and guest services.
"Our 'Mystery Cruises' are packed with fun, excitement and intrigue.
Our motto is 'expect the unexpected!' We're very happy to partner with
Carnival Cruise Lines to host these unforgettable 'whodunit' cruises
aboard the 'Fun Ship' Carnival Paradise," said Shauna Hoffman,
president of Whodunit Productions, Inc.
While on board the Carnival Paradise, "Mystery Cruise" participants
can enjoy the ship's wide range of "resort-style" facilities and
features -- 12 lounges and bars with dramatic interiors that celebrate
the great ships of yesteryear, three swimming pools -- one with a
115-foot-long water slide -- along with a 12,000-square-foot Spa
Carnival facility, full casino gambling and on-board duty-free
shopping.
Dining options include two formal restaurants with extensive menus and
wine lists, a casual poolside eatery featuring breakfast, lunch and
dinner buffets and a 24-hour pizzeria, a patisserie offering specialty
coffees and sweets, and complimentary 24-hour stateroom service. Wi-Fi
