Following The Cat in The Hat’s recently announced presidential campaign, Carnival Cruise Line, the partner of Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Official Seagoing Campaign Headquarters, kicked off festivities with a shipboard rally for kids aboard Carnival Ecstasy at the Port of Charleston.

The #CatinHat4Prez campaign coincides with the release of the new Dr. Seuss book, One Vote, Two Votes, I Vote, You Vote, that teaches kids about the election process and the importance of voting.

Joined by his running mates, Thing 1 and Thing 2, The Cat in the Hat, decked out in his presidential attire, hit the campaign trail on Carnival Ecstasy to showcase his platform, 'It’s fun to have fun but you have to know how,' and led kids in a Seuss-a-palooza Presidential Parade.

Following the rally, kids and parents tucked into Carnival's Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast with The Cat in the Hat and friends. The youngsters also participated in patriotic-themed arts and crafts and voted for their favorite Dr. Seuss book.
