CruiseLineFans: The Carnival Magic is the Cruise Ship of 2011

LONDON, May 6, 2011 - With the Debut of the Carnival Magic, Carnival Cruise Lines Takes
Possession of its 100th Vessel, and Celebrates with a Great Cruise Experience
for Travellers of all Ages, say CruiseLineFans.

The Carnival Magic hit the waters this week for the first time on the
first of May with a 9-day Mediterranean cruise from Venice to Barcelona. The
100th ship in the Carnival family is a 130,000 tonne marvel of ship design
and on board experience. In light of this, CruiseLineFans (
www.cruiselinefans.com/hc/) will highlight some of the ship's best
features and additions cruise guests can expect to enjoy while on board.

Dining:

Dining and cuisine on board the Carnival Magic has seen some serious
upgrades and additions for the newest ship in the Carnival fleet. The
Caribbean-inspired RedFrog Pub has its own signature draft beer, ThirstyFrog
Red, which debuted to massive success -the guests drank the 9-day supply in
just one day and Carnival has airlifted more in to satisfy demand. Also
available is the Cucina del Capitano a new Italian dining experience that
celebrates the heritage of Carnival captains and delivers this experience
right at the diner's table.

Amenities:

The countless on board experiences available on the Carnival Magic will
delight children, parents and grandparents alike. But, if it all seems too
much and you want to ensure a relaxing cruise vacation, the Carnival Magic is
still your ship.

Like its sister ship, the Carnival Dream (
www.carnival.com/cms/fun/ships/carnival_dream/default.aspx), the
Carnival Magic is also home to the expansive and seductive Cloud9 Spa. The
Cloud9 Spa includes many complimentary services like steam rooms and aerobic
equipment, plus Thalassotherapy soak pools, Thermal Suites and a full service
Salon.

The Ocean Plaza, lovingly known as the "Fun Hub" on the Carnival Magic is
another example of a growing trend in cruise ship design - the social hub.
Just like modern social networks online, real life connections and
experiences are being created on the Magic at the Ocean Plaza. The Plaza is
open day and night, and is lined with coffee shops, bars, Internet cafes,
shops and other meet-up locations.

Activities:

Not to be outdone by the Royal Caribbean Oasis (
www.royalcaribbean.co.uk/findacruise/ships/class/ship/home.do?shipCode
=OA&wuc=GBR) and Allure of the Seas, Fun Ship designers at Carnival have
created and installed some amazing activities centres including SportSquare,
open-air recreation complex with SkyCourse, the very first ropes course and
outdoor fitness centre at sea. Guests can also use the two-story miniature
golf course (the only one of its kind at sea), play foosball and have a go on
the Ping-Pong tables.

The WaterWorks aqua park is an impressive sight with its 312 foot long
waterslide. This elaborate, family-friendly water-soaked extravaganza will
keep you and the kids well-hydrated and entertained for hours.

Ports and Destinations:

The Carnival Magic (www.carnivalmagic.com/) made her world debut
during a 9-day Mediterranean cruise from Venice to Barcelona. The Magic will
continue to take guests on a series of Mediterranean cruises from May until
October 2011. Ports visited will include Monte Carlo, Messina, Rome, Naples,
Palma, Marseilles, Venice and Dubrovnik.

Upon completion of these 7, 9, and 12-day cruises, the Carnival Magic
will make her way to Galveston, TX, to take passengers to the Eastern and
Western Caribbean for the 2012 season, which will be Carnival's first
complete season of Mediterranean cruises since 2008. Executives from the
company have already reported strong booking from UK, Russian and German
passengers.
