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), Mega Deck parties, Playlist Productions, Deal or No Deal, Dive-In Movies, mini-golf and, undoubtedly, Carnival’s famous onboard WaterWorks waterpark, featuring the hundreds of feet long Twister Waterslide, which will leave you soaked and screaming, and other fantastic adventures.
Carnival Cruise Line's festive-yet-casual onboard atmosphere can even be found in their various dining venues.
