CYBER MONDAY 2022 OUTPACES 2019 AS CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE POSTS RECORD DAY 

MIAMI, Nov. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Cruise Line got a jumpstart on
what it hopes will be a busy 2023 cruise season as it posted a record Cyber
Monday booking day yesterday that was 50 percent above volume for Cyber Monday
2019.

With November's introduction of service by Carnival Luminosa in Australia and
Carnival Celebration from Miami, and three additional ships joining the fleet
over the next 18 months, Carnival is giving its guests plenty of vacation
options. 24 ships are in guest operation, and 26 ships are open for sale –
some already into 2025 – with the pending arrival of Carnival Venezia and
Carnival Jubilee. The pent-up demand for cruising has manifested in multiple
ways in 2022, as Carnival was the first major cruise line to have its entire
fleet back in operation.  Earlier this year, Carnival had said that the
one-week period of March 28-April 3 was its busiest booking week in the
company's history, showing a double-digit increase from the previous record
seven-day booking total.  Carnival now has more capacity sailing (as measured
by ALBDs – available lower berth days) than it was sailing in 2019.

"The Cyber Monday sale activity showed consumer demand across the fleet, and
we were particularly pleased with the booking activity for Carnival Venezia's
new year-round service from New York, and our new extended six-month program
for Carnival Magic out of Norfolk," said Christine Duffy, president of
Carnival Cruise Line.  "Our very successful naming ceremony for Carnival
Celebration on November 20 and all the media coverage it generated clearly
kept Carnival top of mind as vacationers got started on their holiday shopping
yesterday."
