Cruise Travel, May-June, 2002

New state-of-the-art infrared listening devices, which dramatically enhance the audio-receiving capabilities for hearing-impaired guests, are now available aboard Carnival Cruise Lines' Carnival Spirit.

The new system--currently available in the ship's main show lounge, Pharaoh's Palace--comprises headphones connected to a high-tech audio-receiving device that utilizes infrared technology to amplify sounds throughout the theater, which serves as the venue for three different Las Vegas-style revues as well as variety shows, bingo, big-band music, game shows, ballroom dancing, and other events. Headphones are available for use throughout the voyage at no charge, or guests may prefer to bring their own.
