Social Networking at Sea?


When Carnival Dream debuts on September 21st of this year, it will be the first ship in the industry to feature an onboard intranet portal. Dubbed FunHub, this social networking site allows guests to create a personal profile that helps them meet and interact with others onboard. In addition, guests can send and receive private messages, create groups based on interests, and invite guests to participate in onboard events.

Designed as a convenient resource for wide-ranging information specific to the ship, FunHub includes information on entertainment options, daily events, restaurant menus, plus weather updates for the next port of call and the latest news and sports scores.

FunHub will be available via 36 state-of-the-art stations around the ship. Guests may also access the intranet portal free of charge via any personal laptop or Wi-fi enabled device. The ship also rents 10-inch netbooks that can be used anywhere on the ship.
