Basketball
You may think basketball is all about the hoop and getting the ball in there, bu
....t 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 ball in the basket.

Deal or No Deal
You know the game show with the briefcases stuffed full of money, a big red butt
....on and a mysterious banker phoning in deals? Yep, you’ve seen it on TV… and now you’ll find it on your next Carnival cruise. When it comes to Deal or No Deal at sea, there are actually TWO ways you could win — and only one of them is reserved for the lucky contestant up on the stage! It works like this: buy a game card (or save money by buying two or three), and each card you hold gives you another chance to be randomly selected to take the stage and play the fan-favorite game of eliminating briefcases throughout the rounds for a shot at $1,000. But even if you’re not selected, you’re still in the game — matches on your game card let you move up the prize board. (And up to $5,000 goes to lucky cardholders in the audience!) Of course it’s 18+ to play, but everyone’s welcome to watch the fun from the studio audience. Deal?

Dive-In Movies
Ready to see stars? Park yourself in front of the big screen — the really big sc
....reen — and settle in for a night at the cinema… under some real stars. From the comfort of your poolside lounge chair, or even the pool itself, you’ll enjoy the most recent blockbuster movies at our cruise ship theatre.
And don’t think a cruise cinema in the middle of the sea means going without the usual comforts. There’s not only popcorn — who could forget that? — but blankets! So, lounge around, snuggle up and try to remember the last time you truly enjoyed a night at the movies. And the good news is there’s a heap of other cruise entertainment for the other days and nights you’re at sea. Stick with the cinema experience and be blown away with our Thrill Theatre or IMAX experience.
Check out our stage shows and playlist productions. If laughter and interaction is more your thing, a night at the Punchliner Comedy Club, singing karaoke, or showing off with our Lip Sync Battle are a lot of fun. And there’s plenty for the kids to do, if you just want to laze around in any of our outdoor pools.

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 we 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. For one thing, there’s Halloween in October, where costumes at sea are just the beginning. Christmas festivities are a big deal, combining solemn traditions with jolly fun, while Grinchmas opens the book on wacky and whimsical with the green one himself, plus the rest of the Dr. Seuss crew. Finally, we close out the year — and begin the next one — with New Year’s Eve traditions like a huge party… and the party isn’t complete without an after-party. Ready to celebrate? Plan your cruise for the right dates and you’re in for even more festive fun.

This game’s history goes way back to the 60s but it’s gotten pretty popular lately, and best of all your cruise is a great time to learn the simple rules and take a whack at this game — pop! — yep, like they just did. So if you’ve ever played tennis, ping-pong or badminton, you might already have the skills. And even if you haven’t, just — pop! — pop on over for a game.

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 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.

Sailaway Party
There are two kinds of people — land people and sea people. Unless they were bor

It’s actually pretty easy: get there and… you’re in the club and ready to celebrate! (Then, on your second Carnival cruise — and let’s be honest, you’ll be back — strap on your sea legs, find a cruise newbie and join them in a toast to the great times to come.)

Serenity Adults Only Cruise Retreat

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, Hydrotherapy 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.

Dr. Seuss’s timeless stories are the kind kids memorise, and this is the kind of cruise you’ll remember for a lifetime.
