MIAMI, Aug. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- To celebrate The
Cat in The Hat's recently announced presidential campaign, Carnival
Cruise Line – the exclusive cruise line partner of Dr. Seuss Enterprises and the Official Seagoing
Campaign Headquarters for the world's favorite feline -- kicked off
the festivities with a shipboard rally for kids aboard the Carnival
Pride at the Port of Baltimore.
The #CatinHat4Prez campaign coincides with the release of the
new Dr. Seuss book, "One Vote, Two
Votes, I Vote, You Vote," that teaches kids about the election
process and the importance of voting.
Joined by his running mates, Thing 1 and Thing 2, The Cat in the
Hat, decked out in his special presidential attire, hit the
campaign trail on Carnival Pride to showcase his platform of "it's
fun to have fun but you have to know how" and led kids in a special
Seuss-a-palooza Presidential Parade.
Following the rally, kids and parents alike dined on Carnival's
popular Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast with The Cat in the Hat and
Friends. The young voters also participated in
patriotic-themed arts and crafts and had their voices heard as they
chose their favorite Dr. Seuss book, receiving a custom-made
certificate for voting.
The #CatinHat4Prez-inspired activities are part of Carnival's
exclusive Seuss at Sea program, which is operated in partnership
with Dr. Seuss Enterprises and
features exciting youth, family, dining and entertainment
experiences inspired by the amazing world and words of Dr.
Seuss.
