Couple set record with 200th cruise in 15 years
For many cruisers, Caribbean-focused Carnival is a starter brand – a line you sail a few times before you move on to more globe-circling operators such as Holland America or Princess.
Not so for Bernard and Janice Caffary.
Carnival this month celebrated the Florida couple's 200th cruise with the line - a record for the Miami-based company.
The Caffarys crossed the 200 cruise mark on a sailing of the 2974-passenger Carnival Liberty out of Port Canaveral, Florida.
The couple achieved the feat in just 15 years, meaning they averaged nearly 15 cruises a year with Carnival. In total, they have spent 878 days at sea with the brand - the equivalent of more than two and a half years.
Carnival honoured the Caffarys' 200th cruise with welcoming signage throughout the Port Canaveral terminal where the ship is based, and they were the guests of honour during special VIP celebrations.
The line says the couple already has 30 more Carnival sailings booked.
