Carnival Cruise Line was founded in 1972 by Ted Arison. To finance the venture, Arison turned to his friend Meshulam Riklis, who owned Boston-based American International Travel Service (AITS). Arison and Riklis set up the new company as a subsidiary of AITS. AITS was to market and promote the new venture. In 1974, due to regulatory issues, Riklis sold AITS's interest in the company to Arison for $1, but subject to Arison taking over the substantial company debts.[https://books.google.com/books?id=1kCxPpdTQZoC&q=American+International+Travel+Service The Cruise Ship Phenomenon in North America] (2001), by Brian J. Cudahy, {{ISBN|9780870335297}}, page 44ff. The split enabled Arison to enter into new relationships with independent travel agents. He also promoted his cruises to younger people. The format was very successful financially.

Carnival Cruise Line commenced sailings from Miami with their first ship the Mardi Gras in 1972, a former transatlantic liner purchased from Canadian Pacific Line. Carnival would adapt and evolve the green Canadian Pacific livery for their new logo, changing the colors to red, white and blue as seen today.{{Cite book|last=Peter, Bruce.|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1003587263|title=Cruise ships.

In 1975, Carnival acquired another former Canadian Pacific Line ship, renaming it the Carnivale. The success of the two ships led to the acquisition of their third ship in 1978, the TSS Festivale,{{Cite web|url= https://chrisframe.com.au/post/780338039723606016/carnivals-throwback-titans-set-sail-again |title= CARNIVAL's throwback titans|first=chris|last=frame|website=chrisframe.com.au}} another former ocean liner. With the success of the three ships, Carnival decided to build new ships to be able to compete with the rival Miami cruise lines.

In 1982, Carnival introduced their first purpose-built ship, the Tropicale.{{Cite book|last=Dawson, Philip S.|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/43419400|title=Cruise ships: an evolution in design|date=2000|publisher=Conway Maritime|isbn=0-85177-660-4|location=London|oclc=43419400}} This was the first ship on which the iconic winged funnel was introduced, which has since been used on all ships in the fleet; it was designed by Joe Farcus, who would become a longtime Carnival Cruise Line design collaborator.{{Cite book|last=Farcus, Joseph|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1016152521|title=Design on the high seas: setting the scene for entertainment architecture aboard cruise ships|year=2018|isbn=978-1-86470-756-4|location=Mulgrave, Victoria, Australia |publisher=Images Publishing Group |oclc=1016152521}}

In 1984, Carnival would introduce a new television marketing campaign during this time, starring Kathie Lee Gifford, who continues to be a longtime collaborator with the line.{{Cite web|title=Carnival Celebrates Longstanding Relationship with Kathie Lee Gifford, Giving Cruises to the Audience during Her Final Today Show Appearance – Carnival Cruise Line News|date=April 5, 2019 |url=https://carnival-news.com/2019/04/05/if-they-could-see-her-now-carnival-celebrates-longstanding-relationship-with-kathie-lee-gifford-giving-cruises-to-the-audience-during-her-final-today-show-appearance/|access-date=2020-08-30|language=en-US}}

Following the success of the Tropicale, and increased competition in Miami with newer ships, Carnival ordered the Holiday in 1985, followed by the Jubilee in 1986 and Celebration in 1987.

Beginning in 1990, Carnival introduced the popular Fantasy class, beginning with the Fantasy, and completed with the eighth in the class Paradise in 1998. When completed, the Fantasy was one of the largest ships at the time and had the largest atrium at sea. After having done design work on all the previous Carnival ships, Joe Farcus continued as the lead designer for the entire class.

In 1993, Carnival began to get rid of their older second-hand tonnage, and sold their first ship, Mardi Gras, after 21 years of service with the line. The Carnivale followed the same year, going to newly created Carnival subsidiary Fiesta Marina Cruises.

In 1996, the new Destiny class was introduced, with the Carnival Destiny. At {{GT|101,000}}, it became the largest passenger ship in the world at the time and first to exceed 100,000 tons. The Destiny-class platform continued to be used in various iterations all the way to the Carnival Splendor in 2008. The same year the veteran ship Festivale, the last of the original second-hand fleet, was retired.

In 1998, the seventh ship in the Fantasy class, the Elation, was the first cruise ship to have the innovative azipod propulsion,{{Cite web|title=Elation Fantasy Class Cruise Liner|url=https://www.ship-technology.com/projects/elation/|access-date=2020-08-30|website=Ship Technology|language=en-GB}} used on most new cruise ships today. The Paradise also debuted in 1998, and was the first completely non-smoking cruise when it originally debuted.{{Cite web|title=Throwback Thursday: Do You Remember Carnival's Non-Smoking Cruise Ship?|url=https://www.travelpulse.com/news/cruise/throwback-thursday-do-you-remember-carnival-s-non-smoking-cruise-ship.html|access-date=2020-08-30|website=TravelPulse}}

In 2001, Robert H. Dickinson, then President and CTC, participated in a BBC documentary, Back To The Floor.

In 2001, Carnival transferred their first new build, the 1982 built Tropicale to Costa Cruises. Through the rest of the decade, the line would continue to sell, or transfer the other 1980s built ships to other lines, with the Jubilee in 2004, Celebration in 2008, and Holiday in 2009.

In 2004, Carnival Corporation initiated a development program for Carnival's new ships, the Pinnacle Project, calling for a 200,000 GT prototype, which would have been the world's largest cruise ship at the time. The ship was cancelled, but they then developed a project called Next Generation.[http://www.fincantieri.it/cms/data/browse/news/000174.aspx Fincantieri signs a five ship, 2.6 billion dollar agreement with Carnival Group].

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, three of the Carnival cruise ships were chartered by the United States government for six months to serve as temporary housing, until houses could be rebuilt. After being chartered for six months, their planned voyages were cancelled, and passengers were refunded. Holiday was originally docked in Mobile, Alabama, and later Pascagoula, Mississippi, and Ecstasy and Sensation were docked at New Orleans, Louisiana. The six-month contract cost $236 million. The contract was widely criticized, because the vessels were never fully utilized, and Carnival received more money than it would have earned by using the ships in their normal rotation.[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/27/AR2005092701960_pf.html "$236 Million Cruise Ship Deal Criticized"].

In response to this controversy, the general secretary of the Trades Union Congress, Brendan Barber, commented: "It's high time the disgraceful practice of allowing the shipping industry to pay poverty wages to workers who don't live in the UK was stopped. Exploitative rates of pay for those working on British ships have no place in a modern society."
