Fun Ship 2.0 

Carnival Cruise Line took family fun to new heights in 2012 when they introduced Fun Ship 2.0 which included Hasbro the Game Show on their ships. This all night entertainment event brought several of your favorite family games to life on stage. Families were pitted against each other on stage while the rest of the passengers watched. This took family game night to a new level. 

You can read more about their introduction in our old blog post: Hasbro The Game Show Coming Soon to Sea.

Additional ships were added to the fleet and the popular game show theme remained one of the featured entertainment options.

Fun Ship 2.0 at Home

When the pandemic locked families inside their homes, many had time to get reaquainted with the old pastime of playing board games. We are certain that some Hasbro favorites were among the games played. Carnival's ships were grounded during this time, but the imagation wheels were not idle. Earlier this year they introduced a Carnival Branded Monopoly game and now have introduced a Carnival Branded Family Feud offering. Both of these can be purchased on their Fun Shop website (individually or in a bundle).

Monopoly Carnival Fun Edition

In this cruise-themed version of the classic board game that people around the world seem to either love or hate: Monopoly Carnival Fun Edition, popular elements of the game are present with a sea-going twist. 

Mardi Gras, their latest ship, is prominently featured on the cover and throughout the game. Features highlighted include the brand-new BOLT roller coaster that will debut on Mardi Gras, the Cherry on Top ice cream and candy story, the Lido Marketplace, and JavaBlue Café — all of which will serve as landing spots for players.

Just like the traditional Monopoly game, players purchase properties when they land on them if desired. However, they pay the designated amount with money emblazoned with the cruise line’s iconic funnel. There are also Cruise Director Announcements and Funnel Chest Cards with challenges and directions for players, while game pieces (of course) include a cruise ship. Test your cruise vacation knowledge with this fun land edition of their Hasbro the Game Show Monopoly game.

Family Feud Carnival Edition

Inspired by the hit television show and in anticipation of audience participation show Family Feud Live! that’s debuting on Mardi Gras, Family Feud: Carnival Edition introduces a fun new spin on the popular game. 

Over 150 questions test players’ knowledge of ‘America’s Cruise Line’ and cruise vacations in general. Sample questions include “Name a Famous Captain” and “Name Something You’d Hate to Forget When Packing for a Cruise.” Popular game features like “Fast Money,”Pass or Play,” “What Ifs,” and “Face Offs” are all included, allowing players to recreate their favorite elements of the game at home. 

Are you planning a cruise on Mardi Gras this year or next?  Maybe you need to purchase one or both of these games to sharpen your skills for the onboard versions.   However, don't count on the questions being the same onboard - we wouldn't anyone to have an advantage - would we?
