Although the updated Internet applications on board and Cruise Line's mobile applications have provided passengers to stay connected and access important cruise information on their cell phones, some passengers still want to disconnect during their trips.
For those passengers, having a printed version of the daily activity schedule of your cruise is still essential. In the ships of the carnival cruise line, passengers can find this schedule and details about everything that happens around the ship in the funny times, a daily newsletter delivered every night to the passenger cabins.
