The new ship will take technology at sea to an entirely new level with the introduction of the FunHub. Via their intranet portal they will feature the cruise industry’s first on-board social network. The 130,000-ton vessel, Carnival’s largest ship, is set to debut September 21st. Guests will be able to access the FunHub through one of the 36 computer stations located throughout the ship.
The FunHub will provide guests with ship-specific information and an exclusive shipboard social network, available 24/7. Guests may also use their personal laptops or via 10-inch netbooks which are available for rent and can be used anywhere on board.
Guests can create a personal profile and use the application to meet and interact with others on board, send and receive private messages, create groups based on interests, and invite friends to attend shows or participate in on-board events. Guests can also create their own private or public discussion group, inviting others in their traveling party or friends they meet on board to participate.
It will also be a convenient resource for information specific to the Carnival Dream. Guests will be able to access details the ship’s on-board activities, including entertainment options, daily events and youth programs. Guests can lookup dining options with sample menus, hours of operation and more. Best of all, it contains an application to assist guests in planning their day. Now I can leave my mini note pad and highlighter at home!
For those info lovers, you will be able to get weather updates; biographies of key shipboard personnel; ship and cruise director announcements; three-dimensional ship maps, and a frequently asked questions section.
Best of all, access to the portal are free to all guests! If you want to check out this new ship, Carnival has created a new micro-site at www.carnival.com/dream.
