Dining
Sophisticated Dining
It's always a culinary event in our formal dining rooms. We've set the table for a first-class dining experience, including: fresh lobster on every cruise, an extensive wine list and attentive service.
Supper Club
For more intimate dining, many ships feature a reservations-only supper club with a Manhattan-chic setting and a menu that includes steakhouse favorites. Every meal is a celebration in our reservations-only Supper Club.
Casual Dining
From the extravagant midnight buffets (on select ships), to the European-style cafes, sushi bars and 24-hour pizzeria, you'll discover a myriad of palate-pleasing favorites that even the most discriminating diner will enjoy.
Satisfy Every Appetite
We didn't forget about our youngest cruisers. Our children's menus feature plenty of kid-pleasing favorites including spaghetti and meatballs, hamburgers, hotdogs, pizza, assorted desserts and much more.
Entertainment
How Will You Spend Your Evenings?
It's up to you. Carnival ships boast some of the largest showrooms and best entertainment at sea. If you want excitement, you'll find it everywhere. There are lounges, bars and clubs to suit every taste.
During your cruise, no two shows are the same. So when the curtain goes up on one or our lavish Las Vegas-style extravaganzas, you'll want to be there. Later, stop in at the dance bar or meet new-found friends at the Sing-A-Long Piano Bar.
The overwhelming positive response from our guests was instrumental in encouraging us to add Las Vegas-style revues to the entertainment programs of all of our "Fun Ship" Super Liners.
Other options in entertainment include a wide variety of singers, comedians, bands and musicians performing either out on deck or in one of the many clubs and lounges.
- The Mikado Lounge - Multitiered Main Show Lounge
- Duke's - Piano Bar
- Casablanca Casino - Large Casino with nonstop action
- Drama Bar
- Romeo & Juliet Lounge
- Jekyll & Hyde Dance Club - Disco
- Gatsby's Great Bar - Piano Bar
- Cole Porter Club - Smaller Show Lounge
- Musical Cafe - Piano Bar
- Plaza Bar - In the Main Atrium
Staterooms
Staterooms are put into different categories based on size and amenities as well as the location on the cruise ship.
