Carnival Cruise Lines now Carnival Cruise Line

[Canadian_J]

I can't believe how far people are reading into this. We'll all still just keep calling them "Carnival". For example, did you know it's Delta Air Lines, not Delta Airlines? Imagine for a second that they changed it to the latter, would it really mean much? Personally I think Carnival Cruise Line sounds better. When you think about it, singular is more appropriate. There aren't multiple Carnival Cruise Lines, its one line. Then Carnival Corp the parent company, of course.

 

As others have said, given the new branding and ads coming out soon, this doesn't surprise me. Great time to polish up things like this.

 

But this is part of the problem on CruiseCritic, next thing we know someone will be saying that "Carnival dropped the S and is now doing such and such" and then John Heald will be on Facebook disputing it and subtly mentioning how silly these rumours are. Oh well!

Happening now: The TV show Wheel of Fortune will no longer use the letter "S." The esses will be replaced with the letters and sound of "TH."

 

Thath all folkth.

I'll bet this whole thing started when some secretary (at Carnival) with a defective typewriter said "Hey! I've got a great idea!":rolleyes:

You people are reading way too much into this.

 

Obviously the Pres is a grammar Nasi and is just being grammatically correct. It is a single cruIse line not plural.

Apparently they are, and Carnival Cruise Line is using them.. :D

Disney did the same thing a little while ago, changing the name Disney's California Adventure to Disney California Adventure.

Whatever good reasons companies have for doing this is mostly lost on their customer base, but some exec. Is smiling that their idea got through.

Well, in that case, typewriter ribbon (no "s" to save keystrokes) must be pretty pricey to drop an S to save $$$.:D

Damn, more cutbacks! :D

WRONG! That would correctly be "Damn, more cutback!" to save an "s".

"S"MH. :cool:
