Carnival Cruises announces third Dream Class Fun Ship

Here's some great news for Carnival Cruise fans. It has just been officially announced that Carnival will be adding a third Dream class "Fun Ship" to the fleet in the spring of 2012.

This new 3,690-passenger vessel will offer many of the same innovations featured on the recently launched Carnival Dream, as well as some exciting new elements to be announced at a later date.

Like Carnival Dream, which has earned accolades for its creative design and on-board amenities, the new 130,000-ton ship will include a WaterWorks aqua park with a 300-foot-long corkscrew water slide, a stunning indoor/outdoor café and live entertainment venue called Ocean Plaza, and a wide range of staterooms including deluxe ocean views with two-bathrooms, some of which feature five berths and hold particular appeal for families. 

The new Dream Class Fun ship will feature, expansive, modern facilities for children and teens, a 23,750-square-foot Cloud 9 Spa, and The Lanai, an outdoor promenade featuring cantilevered whirlpools that extend over the ship's sides, will be included, as well. 

Already under construction is the second sister ship to the Carnival Dream, the 130,000-ton Carnival Magic, which is scheduled to enter service in May 2011.

The Dream class of ships embodies the evolution of our brand by providing the type of fun, affordable vacations that today's consumers are seeking.
