Rare eroller Posted September 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2019 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicky3vicky Posted September 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2019 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember those videos too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

skiorcruise Posted September 25, 2019 #8 Share Posted September 25, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a travel agent you can certainly request one from them. 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.
