History
Carnival Cruise Line was founded in 1972 by Ted Arison. To finance the venture, Arison turned to her friend, Meshulam Riklis, who owns American Travel Service (AITS) based in Boston. Arison and Riklis established a new company as a subsidiary of AITS. AITS is to market and promote new business. In 1974, due to regulatory issues, Riklis sold the AITS interest in the company to Arison for $ 1, but was subject to Arison taking over large corporate debt. The split allowed Arison to enter into a new relationship with an independent travel agent. He also promotes his cruise to young people who love to have fun. The format is very successful financially. Until 1975, the line consisted only of one ship, Mardi Gras . In 1975 another ship was acquired, Carnivale .
In 1996, the Carnival of Destiny of 101,000 GT became the largest passenger ship in the world at the time and first over 100,000 tons.

In 2004, Carnival Corporation booked for Carnival's new shipbuilding program, the Pinnacle Project, which called for a prototype of 200,000 GT, which would become the world's largest cruise ship at the time. The ship was canceled and after that they came up with a project called Next Generation.
In 2009, Carnival released their biggest ship at the time, Carnival Dream, a new 128,000 GT ship. Carnival Dream entered service on September 21, 2009. After several trips across the Mediterranean, it was set to offer a weekly Caribbean cruise from Port Canaveral from 5 December 2009. The sister ship, Carnival Magic i >, debuted on May 1, 2011.

In 2018, Carnival brings Fantasy Carnival to Mobile, Alabama. Economists are anticipating an increase in tourism for Mobile and revenues of around $ 35 million.
Influence on Caribbean
By 2018, the Caribbean region is the most popular shipping destination. Tourism shipping brought $ 7.4 billion to Florida State.
The Carnival presence in Florida benefits Miami International Airport, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, and Palm Beach International Airport. Recent studies have shown an increase in employment to the mentioned areas impacting the hotel industry, Rodeway Inn & amp; Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport and the Port Everglades Cruiseport hotel, and have an impact on agencies and other businesses. Food processors, manufacturers of electrical and non-electric machines are the next most affected industry in the region by the expansion of Carnival presence.
Hurricane Katrina charter
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, three Carnival cruises were chartered by the United States government for six months to serve as temporary housing until homes could be rebuilt. After chartering for six months, their planned trips were canceled, and passengers returned. Holidays originally docked in Mobile, Alabama, and then Pascagoula, Mississippi, and Ecstasy and Sensation were docked in New Orleans, Louisiana. The six-month contract costs $ 236 million. The contract was heavily criticized, because the ship was never fully utilized, and Carnival received more money than it would have obtained by using ships in their normal rotation.
Controversy
Companies are reported to have paid wages below $ 1.50 per hour to employees with low benefits to none, such as vacations or vacations at a minimum. The salary of a high-paid worker is about $ 1,300. Employees report severe working conditions such as a 14-hour shift without a day off. In October 2013, pension benefits are revoked.
