The company is a dual-listed firm with headquarters in both the UK and US as well as a Panama incorporated parent company. They operate as one entity yet have separate names.
Queen Elizabeth II
Queen Elizabeth II's death brings an end to the reign of Britain’s most famous monarch. The reigning monarch of the English monarchy, Queen Elizabeth II, was 96 years old. She ruled for over seven decades and shaped British history. She became more active in public life as she grew older and assumed more formal duties. She was also a participant in the annual Trouping the Colour parade. Prince Charles, a son of Prince Philip and her, was born in 1969. He would grow up to become the next king-in-waiting.
Although Queen Elizabeth II is widely considered to be the most well-known monarch in the world by many, she is also one of the most controversial. Although her legacy is rooted within her royal family, her popularity was due to her heritage. This popularity helped her keep her title as head of the state in a number of countries. She was a monarch who was liberal, progressive and multiculturalist. However, in a way, she became a modern queen by accident. It's not easy to identify a modern monarch. However, Queen Elizabeth II is a better example than any other British monarchs. Her popularity and respect for her family and people was clear in her state funeral, which was broadcast to 4.1 billion people. The royal occasion was marked by sadness at Queen Elizabeth II's death, but the lines were uplifting.
Golden Princess
The Golden Princess of Carnival is one of the Grand-class cruise ships in the world. The ship was ordered originally in 1998 by P&O Cruises Australia. It is a subsidiary company of Carnival Corporation & plc. The ship replaced the Grand Princess. It was designed to fulfill a high demand of the Grand Princess. As such, it is the second Grand-class ship in the fleet.
The Golden Princess will depart Princess Cruises to join P&O Cruises Australia in 2020. It will carry approximately 2,600 passengers and introduce Ocean Medallion technology to the Australian market. Carnival Splendor is the only remaining ship. It will still be under the Carnival Cruise Line brand. According to the company, it intends to increase its Australia operations to two ships by 2020.

Six themed zones and 19 game decks make up Mardi Gras. The Guy Fieri Family Fight, Emeril Lagasse’s Grill, Rudi Sódiman’s Café, and Shaquille Neal’s Basketball Arena are all available. The ship also offers seven-day Caribbean cruises.
Mardi Gras' sister ship, Carnival Fantasy
The Carnival Fantasy was the sister ship of Carnival Princess and debuted in 1990. Although she was once the largest cruise ship in the world, she has since been outclassed by larger ships. Carnival Fantasy has eight levels and can accommodate more than 2,000 people. However, less then half of the passengers have balconies. The ship's layout includes six different zones, including the Ultimate Playground and the Bolt: Ultimate Sea Coaster. It is also home to RedFrog's Tiki Bar which is situated alongside one of the ship’s pool.
Carnival Princess has four sister vessels in the Fantasy class. Carnival Imagination, the first sister ship, sailed from Long Beach (California), while Carnival Fantasy, the second, sailed in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Carnival Fascination is the fourth ship in this series. It was launched in 1998. Her new owner plans for it to become a floating resort.

How To
How to stay safe while on a cruise ship
There are many things to be aware of before you board a cruise ship. You must understand how to behave when onboard so you don't get into trouble. Here are some safety tips that will help you enjoy your trip.
-
Pay attention to your surroundings at all costs. People often gather onboard cruise ships to share meals. You can easily become distracted by the chatter and food of others. Do not let people distract you from your task. If you notice someone engaging in dangerous behavior, such as smoking, or drinking alcohol, politely tell them to stop.
-
When you board the ship, keep your room key close by and give it to the person checking in. This way, they'll know where to find you if anything happens to you. Your passport is also important.
-
Keep valuables away from prying eyes. Most cabins include drawers under the beds. It's a great spot to store money, passports, and credit cards. Also, make sure nothing valuable is visible in plain view. Keep your bags hidden in the closet.
-
Keep hydrated. Cruise ships provide plenty of water, but sometimes it's hard to remember to drink enough. You can take advantage of the complimentary bottled water onboard. Try to avoid getting dehydrated. Dehydration can make you tired and cranky, which can lead to fights or other accidents.
-
Attention to announcements. Announcements are posted everywhere, including on TV screens and public address systems. They include safety procedures and emergency exits as well as weather reports. These announcements need to be taken seriously. They might save your life!
-
Never leave your cabin unlocked. No matter how friendly a crew member may seem, never leave your cabin without locking it. Thieves often break in through unlocked doors. You should ask the crew for permission before you use the restroom.
-
Avoid going alone overboard. It may take time for the crew of the ship to rescue you if you fall overboard. You may attract sharks or other sea creatures to your body while you are still on the ship's crew. It is best to wait for help.
-
Smoking is not permitted in elevators. These elevators are pressurized, meaning smoke can build up quickly. If you feel dizzy and lightheaded, it is best to get out immediately. Even though the air outside is fresh, it doesn't mean breathing is safe.
-
Learn the evacuation procedure. Each year thousands of people are killed by being stuck in elevators. If an emergency occurs, follow the instructions on the screen.
-
You should be familiar with fire drills. Fire drills occur regularly, typically once per day. Everyone on deck must evacuate when there is a drill. Follow the instructions of the crew members. Once the drill is over, you can go back to the cabin and lock the doors.
-
Ask questions before accepting food and drink. Food poisoning is a common problem among cruisers. People don't know that certain foods are not safe to be eaten while aboard a ship. Many cruise ships ban raw oysters. If you aren’t certain whether or not the food that you’ve been served is safe for you, please politely decline to accept it and find another meal.
-
Take care when you use the pool. There have been many cases of passengers falling into the pools accidentally. It is possible to slip and fall into the pool without being noticed. You may also slip and fall on the deck. You should always wear good footwear and be aware of your surroundings.
