Cucina Del Capitano cruise highlight
Cucina Del Capitano
The iconic red and white checkered tablecloth in your neighbourhood Italian trattoria means you’re in for a certain kind of dining experience.

Onboard Activities
A play is essential to childhood development - that’s what cognitive scientists believe! Carnival would add that play is important to ALL ages, so onboard games are a huge part of the Carnival experience for the young and old! From physical challenges to scavenger hunts to the very appropriate Battle of the Ages - the trivia game that actually pits kids against adults - Carnival puts the “all” in “fun for all.”
Onboard Internet cruise highlight
Onboard Internet
Carnival cruise gives you options for just how in-touch you want to stay. Looking to share every moment as it happens, hashtag it up and get all the Likes? You’re gonna love the onboard WiFi, which lets you do the social thing and connect your phone, tablet or laptop wherever you are on the ship.
Art Exhibitions cruise highlight
Art Exhibitions
Even if you don’t “know” much about art, of course, you can still tell when you like something - who needs a refined palette to know when a piece is good? Carnival leaves snobbish cultural pretensions ashore and makes art something that everyone can enjoy with a series of events designed to bring great art where it belongs - to the people.
Art Seminars cruise highlight
Art Seminars
Go from ‘normal vacationer’ to ‘world-traveling art whiz’ in one cruise flat - Carnival offers such a variety of educational and enlightening seminars that carnival cruises should hand out Art History degrees at the end of each cruise! You may not be an accredited university, but your cruise features an ‘Art 101’ lecture series designed to be your entrance into this vibrant world.
Holidays Aboard cruise highlight
Holidays Aboard
You don’t need a reason to celebrate… but if you want one, look no further than your calendar. Every Carnival cruise is a celebration — especially on holidays — but cruise truly go all-out for a few special dates throughout the year. This makes the ship a great place to call home for a while, gathering with your friends and family.
Art Games cruise highlight
Art Games
Art is full of emotion, and as your Carnival ship sails, you’ll have the chance to experience art truly in motion… during lively onboard art games!

These projects may include bracelets, key chains, or even picture frames.
Pixels cruise highlight
Pixels
Since photos are a big part of how you and your crew will remember your cruise, you can rely on Carnival’s photo-pros to bring your fun side into focus lighting and background, shutter speed and aperture know-how goes into every shot they take. You’ll find the pros all over the ship: when you’re gathered around the dining room table, as you step off the ship at your destination and plenty of times in between. You’ll even find creative and fun backdrops around the ship that you can casually stop by and do a quick pose in front of!
Outdoor Activities
If a deck party has the power to bring together friendly rivals BlueIguana and RedFrog, you can imagine what the Mega Deck Party can do for vacationers like you! Show up to the open-air Lido Deck pool area ready to have a good time under the stars.
Serenity Adult Only Retreat cruise highlight
Serenity Adult Only Retreat
Somebody at Carnival knows just what you need, and it's pretty much exactly the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat. Look, you'll still be on the same ship as the kids, the hoopla, and all the Carnival-style excitement, but you could easily forget because when you’re at Serenity you could not be further from it all.
Pools cruise highlight
Pools
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, pools are so important to a great cruise that we designed many of the ships to have two of them.
Jogging Track cruise highlight
Jogging Track
Jogging may not immediately come to mind when you think of things to do at sea, but it probably should. You don’t have to walk on water, you just have to get on a Carnival cruise. Jogging tracks are available on almost all Carnival ships, and are even padded for long-distance comfort.
Sailaway Party cruise highlight
Sailaway Party
There are two kinds of people - land people and sea people. Unless they were born on a pirate ship or something, pretty much everybody starts out as a land person. And look, there’s nothing wrong with that. But there’s a process for becoming a sea person, and the Caribbean Sailaway Party on your first Carnival cruise is where the transformation occurs.
Basketball cruise highlight
Basketball
You may think basketball is all about the hoop and getting the ball in there, but you may not have ever played on a Carnival ship. Here, it’s all about the journey to the hoop: the view and the sea breeze you take in as you drive your way past defenders to put the rock in the bucket.
Groove For St. Jude cruise highlight
Groove For St. Jude
Any cruise can move you, but a Carnival cruise can move you to support a great cause like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®! Come on out to Groove For St. Jude — where we're grooving on every sailing — and make a small donation to help us move towards finding cures and saving children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Dive In Movies cruise highlight

Twister Waterslide cruise highlight
Twister Waterslide
Above the ship, you'll find the shining sun, but that's not all — basking in its rays is a gleaming symbol of fun, a monument to merriment... a sign of splashy-good times to come.

Waterworks cruise highlight
Waterworks

Sportsquare cruise highlight

Night Owls cruise highlight
Night Owls
Think back as a kid, was there anything better than times you got to stay up late? Even as an adult, nighttime is a fun time, especially with all there is to do on your Carnival cruise.

Facial Treatments cruise highlight
Facial Treatments
Your face is the first thing the world sees, and while a nice smile can make a world of difference, one of the best ways to put a smile on your face is with a nice, refreshing facial. Of course, there’s more to it than just feeling great… post-facial, your rejuvenated skin will also be looking its best, so there’s definitely substance behind the good looks you’ll be catching glimpses of in all the mirrors you pass.
Men's Services cruise highlight
Men's Services
Hey man, been to the spa lately? Well, why let the ladies have all the fun? You can actually enjoy a lot of the same stuff they do, plus manly services like razor-close barbershop-style shaves - pair one with a facial to really get a good thing going up top. Speaking of the barber, a cruise is a great time to rock a whole new hairstyle, a quick grey-hair darkening, or even just a fresh trim.
Hair & Beauty Salon cruise highlight
Hair & Beauty Salon
A trip to the salon is an opportunity to relax, to chat with others, to focus on yourself. It’s about more than just getting your hair or nails done, but it’s definitely about getting your hair or nails done! Even though you’re on vacation, you won’t have to settle for anything less than the salon style you’re used to back on land.
Fitness Classes cruise highlight
Fitness Classes
You can have all the will in the world, a great attitude that keeps you working hard at the gym, but still not sees 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.
Fitness Center cruise highlight
Fitness Center
Your ship has a 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 vacationing pumps directly into you. 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.
Acupuncture cruise highlight
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is performed all around the world and has been used for all manner of ailments for thousands of years. Whether you’re looking to pinpoint a specific health concern or just searching for a different way to relax, onboard, licensed acupuncturist’s table is a great place to do it.
Zspa cruise highlight
Zspa
There’s a lot to being a teen — they need to kick back, chill and sometimes even indulge just as much as adults… if not more! We understand them, which is why we’ve tailored our onboard ZSPA treatments to their unique needs. ZSPA keeps teens looking their best from head to toe, with everything from trendy hairstyles to pedicures.
Cloud 9 Spa cruise highlight
Cloud 9 Spa
Sometimes you just need to get away… from all that vacation. We know — sitting at home, it’s hard to imagine that, but trust us — it’s really, really nice to have a place to unwind from the day’s excitement. Escape to a world designed, from the ground up, for relaxation.
Cloud 9 Spa : Thermal Suite cruise highlight

Has anyone told you lately that you’re a beautiful person? A cruise will be telling you — it like you the way you are. Now, with that said, we want to let you know that your Carnival cruise contains a Medi-spa. It certainly not saying that you need them, but if you’ve been thinking about Botox or Dysport treatments, this spa is a good place to do them.
Outdoor Fitness cruise highlight
Outdoor Fitness
Grab a seat and work the bike or work your way around the vita course for a little of everything.
Shopping
Time isn’t really a big deal on vacation, so it may seem surprising that one of the best times to save on watches is during your cruise. But it’s true!

Apparel cruise highlight

Liquor cruise highlight
Liquor
Did you know that your bartender will be glad to list the ingredients of your favourite onboard cocktail? Give it a shake once you get home… but first, make sure your bar is ready for action. Stock up on spirits at the onboard Fun Shops! Here, the savings start with up to 50% off prices on land, but they really add up when you subtract the taxes — every bottle at The Fun Shops, even the top-shelf stuff, is tax-free and duty-free.

Prepaid gratuities are reflected in the 'Miscellaneous Charge' field on the confirmation and in the guest's E-Documents.

Sail & Sign®
If guests have not pre-paid their gratuities, the recommended, per person, amount will be posted to their Sail & Sign account on the second to last day of the cruise. Should a guest not be satisfied with the service they receive, they can contact the Guest Services desk while on board. This will allow us to address their concerns in a timely and appropriate fashion. At the discretion of the guest, gratuities may be adjusted after they have been posted on the guest's account, while on board. Gratuities, as posted on a guest's Sail & Sign account, will be considered final after a guest disembarks and no changes will be made after the cruise.

(Last updated: July 12, 2023)
Pregnancy
 Pregnant women are only allowed to sail if pregnant for 24 completed weeks or less at time of cruise disembarkation. All pregnant women are required to produce a physician’s letter stating that mother and baby are in good health, fit to travel and the pregnancy is not high-risk. The letter must also include the estimated date of delivery (EDD). 
Minor Accompany

Guests are required to be 21 years of age (on embarkation day) to travel on their own. Guest ages will be verified at embarkation. Guests not conforming to this policy will result in denied boarding and no compensation will be provided at embarkation.

Guests Under the Age of 21 MUST travel with a relative or guardian of 25 years of age or older
The guardian does not need to be a legal guardian  
- The bookings must be cross-referenced with the relative or guardian’s stateroom and documented properly
- Guests who are 21 to 24 years of age may travel with their minor children

Minors Traveling Together: The policy is slightly different because of stricter guidelines as follows:
- Must have 1 chaperone for every 8 minors
- Prepaid gratuities per minor are due at final payment
- 8 or more staterooms must be booked through the Group Department and a $100 damage deposit per minor will be charged.  

Traveling with Minors
When traveling with a minor where one parent or both parents or legal guardians are not cruising, Carnival strongly recommends bringing an original signed letter from the absent parent(s) or legal guardians authorizing the minor to travel with you. If there is no second parent with legal claims to the minor (due to sole custody, deceased, etc.) other relevant paperwork, such as a court decision, death certificate, birth certificate naming only one parent, would be useful to bring in place of a signed letter. This will expedite processing by the Department of Homeland Security.
