Carnival rocks on with 'Agentpalooza' tour

Hosted by Adolfo Pérez, vp sales and trade marketing, and Carnival's sales team, the tour features one-on-one meetings between agents and sales team members, marketing and product experiences and a variety of engaging entertainment activities. A community service and philanthropic component will round out each event.

'Visiting agents on a bus tour is an excellent way to cover a great deal of ground at once with numerous team members and to do what we do best—work with agents on providing the best sales and service we can while having a great time along the way,' Pérez said. 'We have continued the theme from our popular "Travel Agents Rock" campaign, and named these festival-style events "Agentpalooza," which we think really captures the celebration of our amazing rock star travel partners.'

Stops include Houston (May 11), New Orleans (May 15), Charleston (May 16) Atlanta (May 17) and Orlando (May 18).

During each event, agents will have the opportunity to engage with Pérez and the team in four bus areas. A 'Carnival Fun Zone' features a DJ, photo booth, lawn games and a Cherry on Top candy area. An 'At Your Service' area provides agents the opportunity to have one-on-one meetings with the sales leadership team and their local business development directors.

A 'Community Impact' space is dedicated to giving back to local food banks and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, which Pérez is currently supporting as part of the nonprofit's annual fundraising drive.

Lastly, the line will host a ‘Rockstar Moments’ space in Houston and New Orleans where agents can participate in fun video segments, to be aired on the line’s trade Facebook page and GoCCL.com agent portal.

Light snacks and raffle prizes, including a free eight-day Carnival cruise, will be given away at each 'Agentpalooza' stop.

Travel agents are encouraged to sign up early for these events, as availability is limited. Agents will also be able to follow the tour and participate in events online via GoCCL.com and Carnival’s trade Facebook page.
