AARP
Members Enjoy Special Savings
on Carnival 'Fun Ship' Cruises
AARP
members can now take advantage of special savings on a variety
of "Fun Ship" departures from Carnival Cruise Lines.
New
Web-based specials, which will be featured within the AARP's monthly
on-line travel newsletter, include savings of up to $200 per stateroom
on a wide range of "Fun Ship" departures between now
and February 2003. AARP members can access the specials simply
by visiting the organization's Web site at www.aarp.org/carnival.
Through Carnival's participation in AARP Privileges, AARP's discount
and value program, AARP's 35 million members also enjoy savings
of $100 per stateroom on most seven-day or longer "Fun Ship"
cruises and $50 per stateroom on all of the line's three-, four-
and five-day voyages. The exclusive AARP member discounts extend
to a variety of ocean view stateroom categories and cannot be
combined with the new Web-based specials.
Both
the Web-based specials and the exclusive AARP member discounts
are combinable with Carnival's advance purchase Super Saver program.
People
over the age of 50 comprise more than a third of Carnival's passengers,
which translates to roughly 800,000 guests annually. And, the
trend of multi-generational travel promises future growth. Multi-generational
travel -- grandparents traveling with children and grandchildren
to family reunions and gatherings -- is a growing trend within
the travel industry.
"As
more of our members search for multi-generational travel
experiences, we're pleased to make available these special savings
from Carnival Cruise Lines through our AARP Privileges Program,"
said Hal Norvell, Manager, Personal Enrichment, AARP Services,
Inc.
"Carnival
carries more guests over age 50 than any other cruise line and
we're delighted to provide AARP members with these special 'Fun
Ship' discounts, which when combined with our already attractive
fares, make the best value in cruising even
better," said Carnival President Bob Dickinson.
To
take advantage of the new Web-based specials, AARP members must
request fare code CPRP and present proof of membership. The exclusive
AARP discounts apply to the purchase of category 6 staterooms
and higher, are available by
contacting any travel agent or calling Carnival at 1-800-227-6482.
