Carnival’s Announcement-Quasi Live Blog

According to Carnival’s PR Puppet  in an offensive video just posted on youtube,  the event will be later today at an NYC club.

Given Carnival’s past history of letdowns, I don’t believe anything big will happen, But if they want to keep up with the media headliners, NCL and RCCL, they better plan something here.

The rumors trickling out are that its going to be about new entertainment options onboard their ships. Time will tell.
