Carnival
Cruise Line
| Operating
21 "fun ships,"
Carnival lays claim to being
the world's largest cruise
line and travels to more
than 60 destinations. It
is a value-oriented cruise
line with generally younger-than-average
passengers, but says it
carries more passengers
from every age group than
any other cruise line. |

Windjammer
Barefoot Cruises
| They
call them barefoot cruises
and it's no wonder: once
your cruise set sail --
literally -- Windjammer
is all about kicking back
and settling into an island
groove. With no pretense
about being a luxury experience,
passengers often sleep on
deck under the stars. |
