One comment I have never understood: "I was bored on my cruise". HOW!!!! There is so much to do that you sometimes need a vacation when you return because you're so exhausted from all the fun. Well, Carnival announced this week a new program called "FunShip 2.0". The Carnival Liberty will be the first ship to offer these new options, and it will be fleet wide by 2015. The Carnival Conquest (sailing out of New Orleans starting in November) will be re-fitted with these options next fall (2012). I can't wait!!!
Here is what you can look forward to.
George Lopez has been named Creative Director of Comedy and will be in charge of the Punchliner, the onboard Comedy Club. Punchliner comics will make 10 minute cameos in the dining room each evening as well as at their own show.
Guy Fieri will develop a burger venue called Guy's Burger Joint. There will be 5 types of burgers created by Guy and his own special onion rings. Guests can also design their own burgers using the condiment station. There is NO charge for these burgers.
Another no cost eatery will be the the Blue Iguana Cantina, located poolside and featuring 3 types of tacos, 3 kinds of burritos, plus chips and salsa. An automated tortilla maker will make fresh wheat and jalapeno tortillas.
New bars and lounges: The EA sports bar featuring EA Sports videogames, a video wall comprised of 16 46-inch displays, and real-time sports scores. It will feature hot pretzels and beer. The RedFrog Rum Bar will be a poolside version of the Caribbean-themed RedFrog Pub which debuted on the Carnival Magic. It will specialize in rum based frozen drinks and beers. Just across the deck will be the Blue Iguana Tequila Bar, providing a Mexican themed atmosphere with live music, tequila based frozen drinks and Mexican beers. Alchemy Bar is Carnival's vintage-themed cocktail lounge where mixologists will ''prescribe" concoctions. The Library Bar is a new intimate cocktail lounge featuring bar service and automatic wine dispensers.
For family fun, Carnival has partnered with Hasbro, The Game Show, to offer productions and activities based on the Family Game Night television show from The Hub. Six main games are to be featured. There will be no cost for participating in the games and the prizes will be fabulous.
Carnival is also updated their evening productions with new technology.
Whew! What a choice of activities, eateries and entertainment. I can't wait to experience these new amenities. What about you?
