Carnival's "Fun Ship Freddy" Celebrates 5th Birthday
Posted 09/18/07
Carnival Cruise Lines' mascot Fun Ship Freddy celebrated his fifth birthday with fleetwide celebrations attended by kids from the "Camp Carnival" children's program. During the festivities, the children sang "Happy Birthday" to the primary-colored mascot and enjoyed an oversized Freddy-shaped birthday cake. The character, whose design resembles Carnival's signature winged funnel, was launched five years ago and has become a popular figure with the 575,000 children who sail on the "Fun Ships" each year. Decked out in his customary cruise staff uniform, the six-foot-tall mascot features expressive eyes, a white-toothed grin, oversized white gloves and sneakers, and the requisite Carnival ID badge. Fun Ship Freddy also has a tux for formal night. Fun Ship Freddy's popularity has led to the creation of a series of plush toys which are sold in the gift shops throughout the Carnival fleet.
