States and putting money in their pockets,” Donnelly said. “With 17 home ports in the U.S., Canada and San Juan, over 50 percent of North America is within a 5-hour drive to a Carnival port, and we’ve got more U.S. departures than any other cruise line. And with 26 ships in our fleet, you’re certain to find the right ship for your clients.”
Although Carnival has lots of repeat travelers, the company also wants to appeal to people who are unconvinced that cruising is their cup of tea.
In trying to capture those first-time cruisers, Donnelly said, “We are America’s cruise line, and we believe fun is a choice. Ninety-nine percent of people who choose fun regret it zero percent of the time. After 45 years and 80 million guests, our vision at Carnival remains clearer than ever: To liberate everyone’s most playful self. To
make the most memorable vacations accessible to all. To help grab fun when it floats your way.
“I just love working and building the relationship with my travel partners,” she added, “many of whom I now call family. I also love the part of my job that allows me to take a group of travel partners out to sea for a week to understand what a fantastic product we deliver. I show them that by promoting and selling a Carnival cruise you are helping families come together to create lasting memories.”
Cynthia Burman, General Manager of Cruise Maryland for the Maryland Department of Transportation Maryland Port Administration, said, “It’s been a pleasure working with Kathy Donnelly over the years. In this region when you think of Carnival Cruise Line, you think Kathy Donnelly. She’s been a constant light promoting the Carnival Pride, which is our homeport ship here in Baltimore.
“All of us at Cruise Maryland extend our congratulations to Kathy on her 25th anniversary at Carnival Cruise Line.” 􏰀
