Carnival announced major changes to its loyalty program for repeat cruisers. Effective later this month, the newly named Very Important Fun Person Club will be divided into five levels and entry into the tiers will be now based on the days a customer has sailed with the line.

Bringing stunning destinations, state-of-the-art ships, delicious dining options, great entertainment, warm Mediterranean hospitality and the art of relaxation and well-being to life, the MSC Cruises 2012-2013 brochure is now available in travel agencies and, of course, online at msccruises.com.

Carnival Cruise Lines is using social media to showcase the launch of the new Carnival Breeze. First-time Carnival cruiser Janell Wheeler, an “American Idol” contestant from Season 9, will document her experiences.

Azamara Club Cruises is offering onboard credit of up to $500 per stateroom on select 2013 Asia and South America voyages, as well as an upgrade from Club Oceanview to Club Veranda stateroom. The offer is applicable for bookings made June 4 to 8.
