Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast with the Cat
in the Hat and Friends,
Seuss-a-palooza Story Time Among
Fun New Activities Held for the First Time
MIAMI (March 10, 2014) – Carnival Cruise Lines’ exclusive
partnership with Dr. Seuss Enterprises kicked off in grand style on Carnival
Splendor which became the first “Fun Ship” to offer Seuss at Sea, a fleetwide
program featuring exciting youth, family, dining and entertainment experiences inspired
by the amazing world and words of Dr. Seuss.
The fun-filled festivities included the first-ever Green
Eggs and Ham Breakfast with the Cat in the Hat and Friends, where both the
young and young at heart enjoyed deliciously playful food straight from Dr.
Seuss’s imagination – green eggs and ham, colorful fruit and pancake stacks,
funky French toast, as well as traditional breakfast favorites, all served by
wait staff in Dr. Seuss-inspired uniforms.
Popular characters such as the Cat
in the Hat, Thing One and Thing Two, and Sam-I-Am joined guests at their tables
for fun interactions and one-of-a-kind photo opportunities.
Also debuting on Carnival Splendor is Seuss-a-palooza
Story Time, an interactive reading event for kids of all ages, hosted in a
vibrant, custom-created tent on the stage of the main show lounge. Equally popular
was the inaugural Seuss-a-palooza Character Parade where guests joined Dr.
Seuss characters in a swirly conga line along Carnival Splendor’s promenade.
Carnival Splendor is stocked with a selection of
classic Dr. Seuss books, toys and games and is hosting special showings of
beloved movies such as “The Cat in the Hat” on the giant outdoor Dive-In Movies
screen.
“We’re delighted to debut the Seuss at Sea program
on Carnival Splendor which is sure to amuse and delight kids of all ages while
providing parents and their children an opportunity to participate in fun and
playful activities together as a family,” said Gerry Cahill, Carnival president
and CEO.
“In addition to providing a
wonderful environment for quality family time, Seuss at Sea arms travel agents
with yet another effective marketing tool for enticing families to set sail
aboard the ‘Fun Ships,’” he added.
“Quality family time is more important than ever in
today’s ‘always on’ society and we’re very excited to debut the first Seuss at
Sea program which brings the wonderful world of Dr. Seuss to thousands of
families sailing aboard the Carnival Splendor,” said Susan Brandt, president of
Dr. Seuss Enterprises. “We can’t wait to work with our partners at Carnival to
create even more magical memories for families as we roll out the Seuss at Sea
experience to additional ships across Carnival’s fleet.”
Next up is Carnival Freedom which will be outfitted
with a variety of specially designed Dr. Seuss spaces following its multi-million-dollar
makeover this spring. Fleetwide roll out
of Seuss at Sea is expected by 2015 and the program will also be featured on
the new Carnival Vista which is set to debut in 2016.
