Cloud 9 Spa : Thalassotherapy Pool

On a Carnival cruise, the vast and beautiful sea is all around you. You can do all the looking you want from the ship, but sorry — no touching allowed. (We're sure you'll understand.) That's what the thalassotherapy pool at the onboard Cloud 9 Spa is for! Get your sea-water fix and soak completely in it, easily absorbing all the relaxing, rejuvenating benefits of the trace elements and vitamins you'll find in nature.

Cloud 9 Spa : Thermal Suite

While bending the elements to your will, finding that perfect temperature for relaxation is awesome, even better is not needing to. Carnival's Cloud 9 Spa thermal suites are dedicated relaxation zones with a variety of available environments, each carefully developed by the master climate artists.
Cost: Additional Fee
Restriction: 18+

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.
Cost: Additional Fee
Restriction: 18+

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.
Cost: Included
Restriction: 18+

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 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.
Cost: Additional Fee
Restriction: 18+

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.
Cost: Additional Fee
Restriction: 18+

Massage

Cruising always feels good, but it doesn't usually, right there. At the onboard spa, where they do these amazing massages by hand. But they don't just stop there they've got tools to enhance the benefits too. Select from different hands-on experiences featuring seaweed for detox, herbal poultice for energy, bamboo for deep tissue penetration and hot stones for perfection. You know you're all about feeling good, and so are these massages.
Cost: Additional Fee
Restriction: 18+

Medi-Spa

Carnival cruise contains a Medi-spa. 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. Get them on vacation and they'll always be administered by the onboard Medi-spa physician, a licensed medical doctor.
Cost: Additional Fee
Restriction: 18+

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.
Cost: Additional Fee
Restriction: 18+

Sky Fitness

Grab some gloves and work the bag, grab a seat and work the bike, or work your way around the vita course for a little of everything. Speaking of variety, why not switch off between SkyFitness and the standard indoor gym, to work a little change of pace into your daily workout?

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! Carnival cruises understand them, which is why they have tailored the onboard ZSPA treatments to their unique needs. ZSPA keeps teens looking their best from head to toe, with everything from trendy hairstyles to pedicures.
Cost: Additional Fee
Restriction: 13-17

Carnival Cruise Line

A Carnival cruise isn't just a vacation. It's much better. You get awesome onboard activities, delicious dining choices, nightlife, comedy and plenty of places to just kick back – all as you go from one fun destination to another. An Onboard Experience so packed with good times, you can’t help but have the time of your life. A “Fun Ship” cruise is everything you want and where you want to be.

Mardi Gras

When Carnival launched their first ship, 1972's TSS Mardi Gras, they made cruising a lot less stuffy, a bit less fancy, the kind of fun everybody could enjoy. Nobody expected this ship to change the cruise world, but... here they are! So here’s a brand-new ship with a familiar name. With this Mardi Gras® they aren't just paying homage to their first ship — in cruising circles this name suggests innovation, signals the start of something big. Oh, and this Mardi Gras still shouts “fun!” at the top of its lungs. This ship introduces Zones — six themed areas packed with brand-new experiences for eating, drinking and spectacularly getting down to fun. There's BOLT®, the first-ever rollercoaster at sea, Emeril's Bistro 1396™ from yes-that-Emeril, Family Feud™ Live for everybody... plus incredible new bars like The Brass Magnolia and Fortune Teller. Everybody can enjoy Mardi Gras, sailing now. Come on down!

It is your responsibility to be travel-ready and ensure you comply with any destination or travel requirements, including obtaining all of the required travel documents.

For Australian citizens, check your visa requirements online at Smartraveller or the respective embassy or consulate. As visa rules are subject to change, please check with the relevant embassy or consulate once you receive your documentation to ensure you have the latest information.

Passengers who are not Australian citizens must also check with the respective consulate or visa agency to determine what their visa requirements are and what personal identification is required.

We suggest you start arranging your visa well in advance of departure to account for any delays due to consulate operating timeframes. TripADeal is not responsible for any passenger’s failure to obtain a visa or if you obtain an incorrect visa.

Embarking on your next trip is exciting, and while you hope the unexpected does not happen, it is best to be prepared. We strongly recommend you take out travel insurance when making your booking. Whether it’s a potential medical emergency, a flight cancellation, a delayed suitcase, or an unforeseen event, it's important to ensure you're adequately protected. For more information or advice visit https://www.tripadeal.com.au/travel-insurance

Standard Staterooms: $16 USD per person, per day
Suite Staterooms: $18 USD per person, per day

You may pay this daily gratuity in two different ways:

Pre-Pay
Gratuities can be added at the time of booking or anytime up to the sail date. Guests who booked directly with Carnival may add their pre-paid gratuities on Carnival.com. If a guest booked with a travel agent, they may contact their travel professional to add pre-paid gratuities to their booking. 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.

Additional Information
>Gratuities are assessed on all guests, with the exception of children under the age of 2.
>Gratuities apply regardless of the dining options selected, such as eating at the casual dining restaurant or open seating dining.
>For beverage purchases, an automatic 18% gratuity will be added to the bill.
>An automatic 18% gratuity will be added to the cover charge of the Chef’s Table.
>A gratuity may be extended to room service staff as service is rendered.
>For cruises that begin in Barbados, all gratuities are pre-paid and automatically added during the booking process.

All prices are given in US Dollars.

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).

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.

Infant Policy
Domestic and Europe Cruises
Infants must be at least 6 months of age at the time of embarkation in order to sail with the exception of the following cruises:
Children must be at least 12 months of age at the time of embarkation in order to sail on trans-ocean crossings and remote itineraries, where there are more than 2 consecutive sea days.

Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and South Pacific Cruises
Infants must be at least 6 months of age at the time of embarkation in order to sail on domestic cruises (cruises to Australia, Tasmania or Cruises to Nowhere), with the exception of the following cruises:
For any cruise, regardless of length, if it includes at least one International port (Pacific Islands, New Zealand, Singapore, Hawaii or Willis Island in Australia), an infant must be at least 12 months of age at the time of embarkation in order to sail. This includes most cruises 7 days or longer.
In addition, any itinerary that includes more than 2 consecutive days at sea, an infant must be at least 12 months of age at the time of embarkation in order to sail.

Babysitting
Please note that Camp Ocean® does not accept children under the age of 2 unless they are turning 2 years old during the cruise. There are no exceptions to this policy.

Children ages 2 to 5 may attend and participate in the Camp Ocean program.

Carnival offers Night Owls (babysitting) for children 6 months to11 years old, allowing parents time to enjoy the nightlife without having to worry about their little ones. Additional cost may apply.

All staterooms and suite accommodations are an entirely smoke free environment, including the outside balcony. This policy includes all forms of smoking, including but not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, electronic cigarettes (E-cigarettes), tobacco pipes and personal vaporizers.

Cigarette, E-cigarette and personal vaporizer smoking will be allowed in the night clubs (except on Carnival Sunshine and Carnival Vista) and in certain areas within the casino (for playing guests while at designated slot machines and table games) and the casino bar.
