Carnival Spirit

You don’t need to be a mix-master to appreciate Alchemy – you just have to be up for trying something new. We’ve been stirring up some magic behind the scenes here at Carnival to produce a tasty series of all-new cocktails served at this unique vintage-themed cocktail “pharmacy.”

Let our cocktail specialists prescribe you something from the bar, with both nonalcoholic and alcoholic elixirs to remedy what ails you. Or, create your own custom concoction from a variety of unique ingredients.

Guests have told us we hit on something special with the cool Caribbean chill of the RedFrog Pub. We've taken the best parts and brought them poolside with the RedFrog Rum Bar, where the frog keeps the fun hopping day and night with all the island flava you know and love. Join the party at this poolside bar featuring a great selection of frog-approved Caribbean rum-based concoctions available by the glass or pitcher, plus plenty of Carnival’s signature private-label draft beer, ThirstyFrog Summer Ale.

When was the last time you got up and danced… at the theater? Playlist Productions takes tunes you know and puts them live on stage, transforming them into full blown musical productions featuring pro singers and dancers rocking the house.

Wanna splish — and splash — the day away? Head on over to Carnival WaterWorks™, our onboard waterpark, for the ultimate fun. First up, there's Carnival’s Twister Waterslide™, hundreds of feet of spiraling awesomeness that starts you off high in the air and gets you down low with one of the fastest, wettest rides you'll find anywhere. Or you can take the epic plunge from our Green Thunder and Green Lightning slides.

The great news is our ultimate cruise waterpark is not the only kids fun onboard. Stay wet with any of our popular pools and dive-in movies. Daredevils will love our Bolt sea coaster. Or perhaps you’d prefer the slower pace with our mini golf course. And there’s plenty for kids of all ages to do indoors as well, including Camp Ocean and our fitness centre.

POOL DAY! Cruising the high seas combined with some of the best cruise ship pools at sea to float your cruise-going dreams at Carnival. Whether today's the day for a bit of a dip, a dash of splash or even some swimming — or just a serious poolside lounging session — your Carnival cruise has just the pool for you. In fact, a cruise ship pool is so important to a great cruise that we designed our ships to have a few of them. At an aft pool you'll catch a breeze, plus a sea view featuring the ship's wake, while midship pools are adjacent to that oh so sweet 24/7 ice-cream spot! And no matter which you find yourself chilling in, the sunbeams are there for the taking! And our cruise ship pools are only part of the aqua park fun. Our Green Thunder and Green Lightning waterslides are fun for all ages, as are our dive-in movies and Waterworks water park. And don’t forget our other family outdoor activities such as .

Somebody at Carnival knows just what you need, and it's the Adult-Only Serenity™ Retreat. You’ll still be on the same ship as the kids, but it will feel like an adult’s cruise. The adults-only retreat allows you to easily forget the Carnival-style excitement. Well, leave it to the kids anyway. You can sit back and enjoy a spa and hot tub, beauty salon, and facial treatment. And our Carnival cruise ship also includes the amazing Cloud 9 Spa, with a thermal suite, thalassotherapy pool, and more. Once you’re relaxed, enjoy the nightlife and visit a bar, casino, or nightclub. And let the kids have their fun as well, with lots to do for tweens or teens. Enjoy adults cruise activities to reconnect with your partner, finish that book, have some lavish some spa time, or do absolutely, blissfully, nothing at all.

The running track length encompasses the deck-level perimeter of your Carnival cruise ship. The length of three football fields, the jogging tracks encircle the top deck, thus offering ample mileage for long-distance or shorter-term running styles, speeds and duration.

There’s nothing quite like an open-air run on a padded track, accompanied by inviting sea breezes and sweeping ocean views, to set your spirit soaring. The cruise ship running tracks or jogging tracks onboard your Carnival cruise ship are designed for all ages to line up, gather pace and momentum, align your long-term fitness goals or simply run for the fun. Use of the cruise ship jogging tracks and fitness centres are inclusive of your cruise.

We have some bad news for you — your Carnival ship has a cruise gym. In other words, there’s no excuse for leaving your fitness routine back on land. That’s great news, however, for your body, which will definitely benefit from all the extra energy that a rejuvenating cruise is sure to generate. And let’s not forget the extra time you’ll have, since you won’t be waking up and spending most of the day at the office or anything like that.

Our cruise gym and fitness centre are part of our health, fitness, and spa activities, offering a commitment to your mind, body, and soul. We also have a basketball court and jogging track, and all the spin classes, fitness classes, and personal training you’ll need. Oh, we said wellbeing didn’t we. That means spas, massages, thalassotherapy pool, and Serenity Adults Only retreat. Stay fit and relax. Sounds perfect.

All of Carnival’s world-class cruise ships offer gym classes in state-of-the-art fitness centres. The spacious gym settings, offering the latest gym equipment and a range of popular core gym classes, set the scene for your fitness dreams. No matter your preferred workout mode, Carnival’s cruise ships offer a wide range of group exercise classes in fitness centres that feature state-of-the-art elliptical treadmills, weight machines and cardio equipment.

You can have all the will in the world, a great attitude that keeps you working hard at the gym, but still not see the results you’re hoping for. If that’s the case — or you’re just looking to shake things up with a little extra fun or challenge in your workout — check out Carnival’s selection of onboard fitness classes. Whether it’s yoga, Pilates, indoor cycling or boot camp, there’s a fitness class that’ll get you the workout you need, and the instruction you need to do it right. Looking for a little extra attention? Look to personal training for a workout with that personal touch.

Carnival has your pressure points covered with a range of cruise ship acupuncture and Chinese medicinal therapeutic services.

Even if you’re onboard and on the open waters, alternative and traditional remedies are always close at hand with Carnival’s licensed acupuncturists and all cruise ship medical care provided by highly qualified cruise ship doctors.

Our cruise ships offer qualified acupuncture care that is designed to target and relieve all your trouble spots. If you’re suffering from back pain, arthritis, digestive disorders and more, or simply seek to overhaul your internal system holistically and effectively, you should make an appointment with the qualified acupuncturist on your next Carnival cruise. You’ll not only gain a new lease on life, but an acupuncture session will also revive your spirit of adventure.

With the cruise acupuncture specialists, you’ll be fighting fit in no time — with pinpoint accuracy. Simply book an appointment with your cruise acupuncturist if and when the need or inclination arises on your Carnival cruise.

As if Carnival cruises couldn’t get any more relaxing. Our range of cruise massage options, as well as our stunning shore excursions, can help restore your physical and mental wellbeing. Cruise ship passengers aged 18 years and above can select from a range of massage therapy for an additional cost, including seaweed for detoxifying, herbal poultice to revive energy levels, bamboo for deep tissue relief and hot stones for heat-seeking perfection.

Cruise ship massage therapists are on hand, so to speak, to provide rejuvenating spa treatments and massage therapy while you float your cares away on your Carnival cruise holiday.

A trip to the cruise salon is an opportunity to relax, to chat with others, and spend some time on you. Enjoy a facial treatment, massage, some acupuncture, and even relaxing spa treatments for relaxation or fitness. We even offer services like teeth whitening… great for taking those ‘I’m on holidays and I’m looking great!’ selfies to the next level. And you’ll be spoilt for relaxation and beauty choice with our salon services. As well as our cruise salon you can enjoy our Cloud 9 Spa with thermal suite and thalassotherapy pool, Serenity Adults Only retreat, or even our men’s spa services.

When families cruise Carnival, even the smallest fish in the pond have a big, awesome time. Okay, so it’s actually way more than just a pond — it’s Camp Ocean®. At Camp Ocean, 2–11 year-olds stay busy, keep active and have fun as they enjoy all new ocean-themed activities and entertainment made for kids. We put campers into supervised, age-based groups and give each a cool marine-life label that’s sure to raise the sails on camaraderie at sea.

The littlest little ones — ages 2 to 5 —join the Penguin® colony and engage in activities like Musical Icebergs and Ocean Bingo… even learning a thing or two about buoyancy! The little-biggers, 6 to 8, are the way-cool Stingrays®, who might be found enjoying Pirate Game Night, making sea salt art or even designing their own aquarium. The big fish are the Sharks® — ages 9 to 11 — who really sink their teeth into playing Marine Life Trivia, creating a giant ocean mural, and scoring big with sea-themed volleyball or soccer.

Our counselors, each with education or childcare experience, are there to make sure everyone in these small groups has an amazing time.

Think back — as a kid, was there anything better than staying up late? Even as an adult, nighttime is funtime, especially with all there is to do on your Carnival cruise. We have the perfect thing for you AND for your kids, and it’s called “Night Owls”! For a nominal fee, kids 11 and under can fun it up with others their age until as late as 12 a.m. They’ll enjoy music, activities, games and giveaways at supervised parties while you enjoy… whatever it is you do at night these days, all without a worry.

What does the “C” in Circle “C” stand for? Well, “chill,” “connect” and “cool,” just to name a few. It’s where young teens ages 12 to 14 go to hang out, meet new friends, and enjoy some pretty awesome activities like dance parties, games, outdoor movies and more, in the special Circle “C” area or around the ship. It’s all supervised by friendly and fun-loving counsellors who want your young teens to have the best holiday ever.

Carnival offers Club O2, a cruise kids’ club, designed for teens aged 15-17 to meet, greet, play sport, video games and engage in karaoke jam sessions with their like-minded and fun-filled peers. Club O2 provides parents with much-needed breathing space and relaxation time, safe in the knowledge that their kids are thoroughly entertained, educated and enthralled with the wide range of kids’ club activities on offer onboard.

To kids, arts and crafts is a fun way to spend an afternoon. To a parent, on the other hand, it’s something much more. From their earliest finger-paintings, to macaroni art and beyond, the stuff they bring home is more than just stuff — it’s art — and every last scrap of it is nothing short of precious, the work of a master. Your Carnival cruise presents plenty of opportunities for your budding Picassos to express themselves, from paintings that will take pride of place on your fridge, to less traditional media like sand art, hand-decorated t-shirts, pirate treasures and beyond. You know, future living-room-museum pieces.

A Carnival cruise gives kids plenty of chances to make new friends… but never before quite like this. When kids visit the Build-A-Bear Workshop at Sea, they use their small hands and big creativity to bring a new stuffed friend to life. They can customise theirs from head to toe by choosing the clothing and accessories, and even give their new friend a voice and message of its own by integrating a customisable voice chip. The cuddly bears are just the beginning — these stuffed friends come in all shapes, like a monkey, sea turtle, dog, bunny… and the cutest shark imaginable. There’s even a bear with a special Carnival-exclusive design!

From the whimsical and always wonderful world of Dr. Seuss comes Cats in Hats, Fish Red and Blue, and both kinds of Things — 1 and 2. And they’re all coming to a Carnival cruise near you as the world of Dr. Seuss leaps off the page and onto Seuss at Sea.

Dr. Seuss’s timeless stories are the kind kids memorise, and this is the kind of cruise you’ll remember for a lifetime. The whole family will still enjoy all the classic Carnival activities, but the littlest ones, and their families, will also enjoy an all-new, extra-special experience as the fantastical world of Dr. Seuss comes to life around them.

Enjoy a special onboard character parade, interactive story time, arts & crafts activities, character breakfast featuring their favourite Dr. Seuss friends and more. Seuss at Sea truly brings your child’s favourite books to life.
