In a Question and Answer session with Carnival Cruise Line President Christine Duffy and Brand Ambassador, John Heald, new details emerge about the Carnival Rewards Program announced last month.

We captured the entire Fireside Chat with the top executive from Carnival Cruise Line. In it, you’ll find all of the questions and answers about Carnival Rewards. We also learned more about Celebration Key in the informative Q&A discussion. Christine and John also spoke about the new Paradise Collection of destinations for Carnival, the new Carnival Festivale and Tropicale, hinted at the ACE class, and wrapped with a bunch more fun.

To catch all of John’s signature humor, and learn more about what’s new with Carnival Rewards, check out the full front-row presentation posted to YouTube:
