Carnival Cruise Line Press Release:

New Carnival Punchliner Comedy Clubs to Offer Diverse Array of
Comedians, Five Shows on Multiple Nights Each Voyage

MIAMI, July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Cruise Lines is adding more
laughs and upping the fun quotient at sea with the introduction of
Carnival Punchliner Comedy Clubs -- dedicated comedy lounges rolling out
fleetwide on all 22 "Fun Ships" by the end of the year. Building on the
tremendous success of its first comedy club, which debuted on the new
Carnival Dream last fall, Punchliner Comedy Clubs will feature a wide
variety of side-splitting comics.
Located in the ship's aft lounge, each Punchliner Comedy Club will offer
guests loads of laughs with five 35-minute shows on multiple nights
during each voyage, with at least two comedians performing each night.
The two early-evening shows offer fun for the whole family while the
later performances will feature adult-oriented comedy.
Carnival Punchliner Comedy Clubs will feature hilarious, laugh-out-loud
performances from established comedians as well as rising stars, with
approximately 10 shows per voyage offered on short cruise itineraries
and approximately 20 shows per cruise on longer length departures.
"Laughter is the most public, most infectious expression of fun, so
we're excited to provide our guests with an expanded offering in comedy
with our new Punchliner Comedy Clubs," said Gerry Cahill, Carnival
president and CEO. "Given that laughter has been shown to have a
positive effect on mood, stress reduction and overall happiness, our new
clubs and performance line-up will only further enhance the spirited fun
of a Carnival vacation."
While comedy shows have always been part of Carnival's diverse
entertainment lineup, the concept was taken to another level aboard the
Carnival Dream, which offered the line's first dedicated comedy club
last fall. Comedy clubs are currently also featured on Carnival Glory,
Carnival Pride and Carnival Sensation -- with the concept being
incorporated into the remainder of the fleet over the next several
months. When Carnival Magic enters service in May 2011, a Punchliner
Comedy Club will also be featured on the line's newest "Fun Ship."
All of Carnival's aft show lounges will be converted to comedy clubs
with a special stage and branded glassware, menus, employee uniforms and
other items featuring the Punchliner Comedy Club logo. Guests can learn
about the performer lineups and schedules in the ship's Fun Times
newsletter.
Carnival is the most popular cruise line in the world with 22 "Fun
Ships" operating voyages from three to 16 days in length to The Bahamas,
Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, New England, Europe
and Bermuda. The line currently has two new 130,000-ton ships on order
– Carnival Magic, set to debut in Europe May 1, 2011, and Carnival
Breeze, scheduled to enter service in spring 2012.
