Onboard Fun
You’re on a ship that’s nearly the length of three footy fields and every square metre of it is packed with things to do/see/taste/try.
Welcome to your new home away from home. How about a tour? You’ll notice the sports court, a choice of swimming pools and an outdoor jogging track. Over there you’ll find our Spa Carnival™ and two-deck fitness centre, the primo destinations for aromatherapy massages and workouts with amazing ocean views.
7 Things you'd never do at home:
- Zoom down the Twister Waterslide. You'll cool off and be drenched in fun.
- Island Hop. Today, Mystery Island. Tomorrow, Isle of Pines!
- Snooze away the afternoon on a white sand beach in Emerald Bay. Sweet dreams guaranteed.
- Cruise the late night buffet.
- Pretend you're James Bond at the poker table. Tux, martini and Bond girl optional.
- Watch the sun rise over the ocean from your own private balcony. You're the king (or queen) of the world!
- Eat ice cream 24/7. Cool!

Your Choice Dining
Your Choice Dining - great food and full table service in the main restaurant (Empire). Whether you want breakfast, lunch or dinner, join us for an awesome atmosphere, delicious food, great service and good times! We also offer Healthy Options selections, which are big in taste but low in fat, sodium and cholesterol. To dine with us, simply request one of the following seating times when you reserve - Early Dining (5:30pm)or Late Dining (7:45pm).
With Your Time dining, you can dine in the main restaurant (Empire) anytime between 5:30pm - 9:00pm. Guests are seated first-come, first-serve, depending on party size. In most cases, we can set you within 20 minutes, however if we can't, we'll give you a pager so you can relax elsewhere on the ship until your table is ready. Due to the limited number of large tables, parties greater than 10 may need to be sat at different tables and in different areas of the dining room.
If you prefer your meals outside of the dining room and more low-key, you’re in luck, because there’s awesome options for casual dining:
- - At La Playa Restaurant you can grab a variety of delicious items and sit anywhere you like.
- - The Pizzeria - it’s open 24 hours a day so it’s perfect for those 2 a.m. cravings!
- - Fat Jimmy's C-side BBQ
- - The Fountain Cafe

Night Owls
Made for kids, great for adults! We watch them until the wee hours of the morning — you have worry-free fun! As a kid, was there anything better than the times you were allowed to stay up late? For a nominal fee, kids aged 11 and under can fun it up with others their age until as late as 3 a.m. They’ll enjoy music, activities, games and giveaways at supervised parties, while you enjoy everything a cruise with us has to offer for adults. There are pillows and blankets for the kids who get sleepy and have fun snacks to enjoy as well.
You Have Something to Celebrate
We want everyone to enjoy what we are famous for — FUN!
Celebrations
You have big reasons. Birthdays. Anniversaries. Graduations. Job promotions. Things that make you feel like, well, celebrating. Only you know what makes you want to have a party, pop open the champagne or bring out the cake. But at Carnival, we know how to turn whatever reason you have into an even greater event. So talk to us once you board, or email at us australiasupport@carnival.com and we'll see what we can do to make your celebration a special one.
And if it's a family holiday, keep in mind that Carnival has three supervised programs for your kids: Camp Carnival for youngsters 2-11, Circle "C" for kids 12-14 and Club O2 for teens 15-17. There are also connecting staterooms that are ideal for families. So, plan on a cruise where there's no such thing as a one-day celebration.
Romance
It's easy to see why so many couples choose a Carnival cruise; so many of our spacious staterooms have private balconies, then there's the wonderfully romantic Nouveau restaurant where everyone feels like a celebrity for a night. Reservations are recommended as this popular restaurant as it's the perfect setting for a special occasion. Then there's our fun theme nights, Lido parties, cocktails in Serenity, late-night shows, comedians galore and night skies filled with billions of stars.
So, join us for a major event like a golden anniversary, or a sudden excuse to take a cruise, like buying new sunglasses. But find a reason, any reason, to celebrate. Then book a Carnival cruise holiday.
Family Reunions
Being with all the people you like is a celebration in itself. Which is why Carnival is the perfect choice for a reunion for any family, college and university. It's a great setting for a retreat for your business, church or organisation. It makes a wedding even more romantic. And for a girlfriends' getaway, it's inspired.
With so many pools, dining choices, indoor/outdoor activities and exciting destinations, there's something for every guest of every age.
