Carnival Cruise Activities

Entertainment and activities onboard Carnival ships are seemingly endless and there’s something for guests of all ages to enjoy. Children under 11 can join in on Camp Carnival, where they are divided into age groups and get to engage in activities such as arts and crafts, dancing, movies, active activities and video games. Teenagers can take advantage of Club 02 or Circle “C” club where they can watch movies, listen to music, play video games, and meet new friends, or for an additional fee, indulge in the services offered a ZSpa, a spa specifically designed for teens between the ages of 13 and 17. Adults can find solace in many of the adult-only areas such as the relaxing Serenity Retreat, spa, casino or one of the handful of onboard bars. Of course, there are also many activities that your whole family can enjoy together, such as Seuss at Sea (featuring beloved characters from Dr. Seuss stories), Hasbro the Game Show, Mega Deck parties, Las Vegas-style entertainment, Dive-In movies, mini-golf and, undoubtedly, Carnival’s famous onboard WaterWorks park, featuring the hundreds of feet long Twister Waterslide, which will leave you soaked and screaming.

What’s New For Carnival Cruise Lines?

Carnival raised the bar by unveiling Mardi Gras in July 2021. The Excellence-class ship debuted as the largest in Carnival's fleet, as well as the first American cruise ship powered by Liquified Natural Gas (LNG). Mardi Gras is equipped with many new features, including a French Quarter Zone, amplified suites, Loft 19 (available only to guests in Carnival Excel Suites), Street Eats food stations, and Big Chicken by Shaq. This new vessel also debuts BOLT, the first-ever roller coaster at sea.

Two ships that recently debuted for Carnival were Carnival Horizon (which debuted during the spring of 2018), and Carnival Panorama (a sister ship of Carnival Vista and Carnival Horizon that launched in 2019). Carnival Victory emerged from dry dock in January 2018, boasting several new venues. Additions included Guy’s Burger Joint, RedFrog Rum Bar, BlueIguana Cantina and Tequila Bar, Alchemy Bar, Cherry on Top and Camp Ocean.

In 2017, Carnival Elation underwent a multi-million-dollar renovation that included the addition of 38 all-new staterooms, including two Grand Vista suites that feature floor to ceiling windows, 22 junior suites, two ocean-view cabins and 12 interior staterooms. The décor of all staterooms was updated to reflect a bright and calming island theme, inspired by the destinations visited by the ship. Balconies were also added to 98 exiting rooms. In addition to the cabin updates, Carnival Elation also received four new bars, and dining venues, including Guy’s Burger Joint, the RedFrog Rum Bar, BlueIguana Cantina and BlueIguana Tequilla Bar. Finally, the addition of Camp Ocean, a new play area designed for children ages 2-11, a new WaterWorks Park with a 300-foot long Twister slide an a new mini-golf course completed the updates.

Carnival Sensation emerged from dry dock in March 2017 boasting several new venues. Additions include Guy’s Burger Joint, RedFrog Rum Bar, BlueIguana Cantina and Tequila Bar, Alchemy Bar, Cherry On Top and Camp Ocean.

Carnival announced the anticipated addition of a third Vista-class ship in 2019, originally designated for the P+O Cruises Australia branch. The ship will offer many unique, Vista-class innovations alongside Carnival guest favorites.

In April 2016, Carnival announced the launch of Cozumel Plus itineraries, extending the length of time its ships spend in Cozumel, Mexico. The addition time in port will give guests more time to immerse themselves in Mexican culture as well as to explore Cozumel’s beaches, shopping and dining opportunities. Carnival Liberty and Carnival Breeze replaced Carnival Magic and Carnival Triumph in Galveston, joining Carnival Freedom. Carnival Triumph was relocated to New Orleans, where it joined Carnival Dream and replaced Carnival Elation. Carnival Elation replaced Carnival Fascination in Jacksonville, offering significantly longer 10-11-day repositioning voyages; Carnival Fascination repositioned to San Juan in Spring 2016 to offer year-round 7-day cruises.

Carnival Miracle underwent extensive refurbishments when it entered dry dock in March 2015. The new features, all a part of Carnival’s ongoing Fun Ship™ 2.0 ship enhancements, include popular programs like Seuss at Sea, and Hasbro, The Game Show, as well as new dining venues and the addition of four new spectacular shows!
