Carnival Printed Brochures

[eroller]

I thought Carnival stopped printing consumer brochures years ago.  I was very surprised when my travel agent sent me a fleet brochure and MARDI GRAS brochure.  I’m a bit old school when it comes to brochures and love having a printed copy.  Just having all the deck plans in one place is wonderful.  Bravo Carnival on this one!

I loved the old catalog. I would study it over and over like it was a Sears Wish book{yes, I'm old] And we used to order the videos for the specific ship for $10. I would watch it over and over again, listening to Kathy Lee Gifford singing the "Elation" song as she introduced us to "Carnivals' newest ship!" I am happy that there are still some paper brochures available.

Me too!  In fact I still have most of them. I kind of collect brochures, especially inaugural brochures from new prototype ships.   I remember those videos too!

If your AAA office has a travel department, they should have them there.

I do not believe Carnival will directly mail these to consumers as they are encouraging the use of travel agents.  If you have a travel agent you can certainly request one from them.

The Salt Lake City area has several travel shows once or twice a year.  I have picked up these brochures at those shows.  Often they are a year old (show in July, last cruse listed is Nov of same year), but they are nice for dreaming, advance planning, etc.

I come to SLC all the time, I'll have to keep an eye out for the shows and stop in.

There are many benefits, this is a lower rung on the ladder of reasons....

There was a time under a previous president when Carnival decided they did not need a lot of things including the TA community or printer material.  He is gone and saner heads prevailed.  Whether you need to go through a travel professional was part of the issue.  Getting one from them is pain free, and they are the ones that got them back.

I am booked on the Mardi Gras repositioning cruise next year in September.  I would LOVE to get one of those brochures!  I may have to contact my TA and see if she can send me one

Ignore the naysayers! Some people just can't help themselves.
