Carnival Spirit Ship Information

Carnival Spirit Ship Activities

Playing it cool isn't hard at WaterWorks - after all, you're among waterslides like Twister Waterslide - plus you can always cool down, or warm up, with a dip in the domed swimming pool. Keep the kids entertained with plenty of choice on activities and fun chances to make new friends.

• WaterWorks: Head on over to WaterWorks, Carnival's onboard waterpark. First up, there's the Twister Waterslide, hundreds of feet of spiraling awesomeness that starts you off high in the air and gets you down low with one of the fastest, wettest rides you'll find anywhere.
• Twister Waterslide: Spot the spiraling Twister Waterslide atop your Carnival ship and you can be sure that your vacation comes complete with twists, turns and squeals of thrilled delight.
• Seuss at Sea: Enjoy a special onboard character parade, interactive story time, arts & crafts activities, character breakfast featuring their favorite Dr. Seuss' friends and more. Seuss at Sea truly brings your child's favorite books to life.
• Build-A-Bear Workshop at Sea: When kids visit the Build-A-Bear Workshop At Sea, they use their little hands and big creativity to bring a new stuffed friend to life. They can customize their furry friend from head to toe by choosing the bear, clothing and accessories.
• Bingo: Get ready to play some crazy-exciting, hoot-and-holler-if-you-win-big bingo! The prizes are bigger, the packages are more fun and there are even souvenir daubers to mark your numbers.
• Atrium: The entrance to the ship and to vacation itself - is your first impression of all the fun to come.
• Mini Golf: Ah, imagine a perfect day out on the links, the golfer's zen of the ball, the hole and nothing in between but well-manicured fairway.
• Basketball: You may think basketball is all about the hoop and getting the ball in there, but 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 rock in the bucket.
• Art Exhibitions: Even if you don't "know" much about art, of course you can still tell when you like something - who needs a refined palette to know when a piece is good?
• Games: Play is essential to childhood development - that's what cognitive scientists (fully-grown adults without bedtimes) believe!
• Art Seminars: Go from 'normal vacationer' to 'world-traveling art whiz' in one cruise flat.
• Video Arcade: Video arcade boasts a huge array of games, and is open to players of all ages, all night and all day.
• Library: With wall-to-wall activities, most people wouldn't think of their cruise vacation as a great time to read a book, but you'll find the bibliophilic faithful stretched out on deck chairs, enjoying the sun, sea breeze, and a page-turner.
• Serenity Adult-Only Retreat: It's the place to get done the kind of stuff you just can't seem to do anywhere else - reconnect with your partner, finish that book, or do absolutely, blissfully, nothing at all.
• Dreams Studio: On the same ship with the waterslides and conga lines is actually a photographic oasis. Everybody looks their best, smiles their biggest smiles on vacation. At Dreams Studio, professional photographers beautifully capture this side of individuals, couples, groups or families.

Carnival Spirit Ship Dining

The recommendation: sail hungry. After all, you'll be enjoying meals in three-course style in the Empire Restaurant or just go ahead and build a meal with as many courses as you like at the casual-style, variety-packed Lido Restaurant. Speaking of casual, the trio of RedFrog Pub, Guy's Burger Joint and BlueIguana Cantina, each put their own delicious spins on flavor itself. To get a little fancy, sit down at Nouveau Steakhouse. To get a lot un-fancy - and they mean this in the most delicious way possible - check out 24-hour pizza and soft-serve.

Guy's Burger Joint
Carnival went looking for someone to help grill up the best burgers at sea, and they found just the guy. Carnival has teamed up with best-selling author, restaurateur and Food Network personality Guy Fieri to bring all the authentic appeal of a roadside burger shack to Guy's Burger Joint, the cool poolside spot for hot burgers and hand-cut fries. Try a fresh-off-the-grill burger Guy's way, or take it off-road to the toppings bar and truly make it your own.

BlueIguana Cantina
Nobody knows Mexican dining like a blue iguana. Well, Carnivals' very own blue iguana, at least. That's why it should come as no surprise that the BlueIguana Cantina features freshly made tacos and burritos stuffed specially for your enjoyment. Throw homemade tortillas and salsa into the mix, and you have a casual dining experience that will make you say "mmmm" (which is actually Iguanese for "more, please").

Pizzeria del Capitano
On Carnival ships, the captain tends to be kind of a big deal - almost a celebrity. On a few select ships, they've even got their own pizza kitchen. The best part? Pizzeria del Capitano is open to everyone, 24 hours a day! And since Carnivals' captains tend to be Italian, you know the quality of the ingredients truly pass muster. (Sorry, nautical pun.) Hand-tossed dough, made from imported Italian flour, plus fresh mozzarella form a solid base, and a choice of toppings put the finishing touches on this piping hot, fresh-from-the-oven mealtime - or anytime - classic. (Also, try the caesar salad - buono, capisce?)

Pizza Delivery
Any time of day, or night, pick your toppings, tell them where on the ship you're hanging out through the Carnival Hub app, and optionally, take a selfie to help the delivery folks find you. (Delivery's just $5 per pie... and the pizzas are always free!)

Lido Marketplace
Lido Marketplace always has a special something ready to satisfy your latest craving spectacularly. Here they do it with dozens of what-to-eat options. Great choices like BBQ, a deli counter, salad bar, an Asian station and a pasta bar, plus one spot where the chef serves up a different surprise daily!

Steakhouse
Turn your special vacation in the direction of delicious - book a table for an unforgettably delectable evening at the onboard Steakhouse. This menu features mouthwatering premium cuts of beef cooked to your exact specifications, as well as a fantastic selection of seafood, entrees, gourmet appetizers, and even a wine list that got the nod from Wine Spectator. (They actually call it the Award of Excellence.) The Steakhouse's atmosphere pairs remarkably well with, and perhaps even enhances, the culinary creations of the gourmet chefs.

Dining Room
Carnival sets the table for you. They also bring to the table a full three courses in an experience that's filling, but never stuffy - after all, you're just as likely to catch waiters table-dancing as you are to order dessert. Dessert's included (along with the rest of your meal, by the way) in your fare. But don't skip straight to dessert, because the main course is the main attraction - drop in daily and enjoy a rotating menu of delectable favorites like steak, roasted duck, scallops and prime rib.

The Chef's Table
Treat your taste buds to the experience of a lifetime, culminating in a sumptuous multicourse dinner hosted by the Master Executive Chef. Your VIP experience starts with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres for a select group of 14, followed by a mind-blowing full-service dinner of amazing appetizers, entrees and desserts not found in regular dining menus.

Bonsai Sushi
So maybe you've had sushi on a cruise before, but you've never had it like Bonsai Sushi, the onboard seafood-and-soy-sauce spot. Dine amidst expertly-pruned bonsai trees while enjoying sit-down service and an affordable menu of delectable sushi and sashimi... plus rolls, soups, sides, sakes and desserts. So the next time you're taking an onboard stroll, stop at Bonsai Sushi for a little something satisfying.

Seaday Brunch
Forget what "they" say - the most important meal of the day is brunch. Slumberers can sleep in and still enjoy breakfast favorites, while early-risers get a head-start on lunch. And Seaday Brunch brings everybody's favorite mid-morning meal to your Carnival cruise, and does it right.

Swirls
Got room for dessert? Sure you do! Swirls ice cream lets you enjoy the sweeter side of brain freeze with a treat that'll have you smiling from ear to ear. Choose from chocolate, vanilla or strawberry... or make your own mix swirled as high as you can balance it.

24 Hour Room Service
So you're in the mood for some good eats, but you'd rather stay in your comfy, cozy stateroom? Really, who could blame you? Simply pick up the phone and order something tasty from the extensive room service menus. And since you get hungry when you get hungry, room service is available any time of the day (or night), and it's always delivered right to your door.

Carnival Spirit Ship Bars

God beer, good tunes, good times. Whether you're in the mood for a tropical hangout, a frozen tequila drink, or a unique cocktail custom-concocted by the mix-masters, onboard Carnival Spirit there's a special spot serving your favorite drinks.

Alchemy Bar
No magic spells are required to enjoy a cocktail creation at Alchemy Bar, the unique vintage-themed cocktail "pharmacy" - all you need is a willingness to be surprised, to try something new. Choose a remedy from the menu, or let them prescribe you a custom elixir just for you, with or without alcohol.

RedFrog Pub
Get into an island state of mind before you even set foot on one. RedFrog Pub is a laid-back, no-worries, oh-so-lively Key West-inspired pub. Sample Caribbean fare, dominate at the foosball table, enjoy some sweet tunes from live musicians and sip tasty signature private-label brew, ThirstyFrog Red. So kick back and feel the island vibe come to life. You'll be a local here before you know it.

RedFrog Rum Bar
Guests have told Carnival that they hit on something special with the cool Caribbean chill of the RedFrog Pub. Carnival has taken the best parts and brought them poolside with the RedFrog Rum Bar, where the frog keeps the fun hopping day and night with all the island flava you know and love. Join the party at this poolside bar featuring a great selection of frog-approved Caribbean rum-based concoctions available by the glass or pitcher.

BlueIguana Tequila Bar
BlueIguana Tequila Bar is the onboard spot to chill and enjoy a slushy tequila drink or an ice-cold Mexican cerveza. The menu offers up Mexican favorites, including several brands of tequila and a slew of Mexican brews. There's a lineup of frozen concoctions, cocktails and margaritas served by the glass or by the pitcher, and even a special Mexican beer cocktail (yes, really). Where can you find this little slice of Mexican paradise? Next to the pool, of course. So stay cool and take in the bar's vacation vibe while you kick back on your cruise - that's what official bar mascot Blue the Iguana would tell you.

Cheers!
Salud, kampai, l'chaim, mabuhay... however you toast, Carnival makes sure you get to do more of it with Cheers! Bartenders bring you your drinks, but never the bill. Once aboard, sign up and enjoy the ease of one flat price for drinks throughout your cruise - now that's something to raise a glass to. (A few exclusions apply.)

Piano Bar
Play it again, Sam. Or Diana. Or whatever your name is. Because this is the bar where you call the shots, and the tunes. Hey songbird - pull up a seat, order your favorite cocktail and let your friendly piano player know what you'd like to hear. Then join the singalong for a hand-clapping, foot-tapping, finger-snapping good time. Don't feel like flexing your vocal cords? No worries - hummingbirds are welcome here, too. And since the bar's open from the evening until late at night, it's the perfect spot for an early drink or singing 'til the wee hours.

SkyBox Sports Bar
Get hands-on with a game, a drink, and high-fives galore! SkyBox Sports Bar gets you right onto the 50-yard line of onboard sports action. Grab a drink or order some snacks - they're great while kicking back and watching your favorite teams on one of the big screens, or just dropping by to check out real-time scores and headlines on the panoramic ticker.

Casino Bar
Winning big in the casino is big fun, and your next stop is celebrating with a top-shelf drink. Located right off the casino floor, the casino bar serves up your favorite cocktails, beer and wine, making this the perfect spot to celebrate with family, friends, and maybe even total strangers.

Cruise the Vineyards
From the soft and fruity flavor of the Merlot to the light and dry Sauvignon Blanc, for those who appreciate wine, a Cruise the Vineyard package is a must. Choose from three packages featuring selections from Italy, New Zealand, France, Australia, Germany, California, Washington and Oregon. Sip and savor favorites at a discounted price - ask your Dining Room server how.

Carnival Spirit Ship Entertainment

When the sun goes down, the fun's over. Nope, just kidding! Carnival Spirit features bars and lounges, plus entertainment that's great for when you're feeling like live comedy, musical performances and more.

• Playlist Productions: Everyone has those perfect songs that never fail to get them moving. Playlist Productions brings lists like yours to life! Your favorites become full-blown musical productions featuring singers and dancers bringing down the house.
• The Punchliner Comedy Club: Comedy clubs on land... well, it's kinda funny. Nobody likes paying cover charges, and you know that two-drink minimum? They've gotta be joking! You won't find either of these at The Punchliner Comedy Club aboard your Carnival cruise.
• Dive-In Movies: Ready to see stars? Park yourself in front of the big screen - the really big screen - and settle in for some true stars with Dive-In Movies at Carnival Seaside Theater.
• Deal or No Deal: You know the game show with the briefcases stuffed full of money, a big red button 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.
• Karaoke: Believe it, you've got a rock star, pop idol or country crooner inside you. Let yours out aboard a Carnival cruise - take the stage and grab the mic because Carnivals' ears are waiting.
• Live Music: Want to rock 'n' roll every night and every day? Well, you've come to the right ship. Carnival brings some of the best performers on land out to sea for an ambiance that can't be beat.
• Nightclub: Get up and get down at the most happenin' club in the Caribbean. Carnival DJs are spinning today's hottest hits and yesterday's retro jams, guaranteed to get you out of your seat and tapping your feet.

Vacation is usually a good time to hit the gym. And Carnival has a great one to hit. Or, check out Carnivals' Spa rooms where the thermostat only has one setting: "perfect."

• Spa Carnival: When it comes to complete relaxation from the inside out, nothing beats a trip to the spa. From the minute you step inside, the soothing ambiance begins to work its magic. Renew yourself with premium beauty and wellness therapies, like hot stone massages, aromatherapy or full-body wraps.
• ZSPA: There's a lot to being a teen - they need to kick back, chill and sometimes even indulge just as much as adults, if not more! Carnival understands them, which is why they've tailored onboard ZSPA treatments to their unique needs.
• Men's Spa Services: Enjoy a lot of the same relaxation moments, plus manly services like razor-close barbershop-style shaves - pair one with a facial to really get a good thing going up top.
• Hair & Beauty Salon: A trip to the salon is an opportunity to relax, chat with others, to focus on yourself. It's about more than just getting your hair or nails done... but it's definitely about getting your hair or nails done!
• Jogging Track: Jogging may not immediately come to mind when you think of things to do at sea, but it probably should. You don't have to walk on water, you just have to get on a Carnival cruise.
• Fitness Classes: Whether it's yoga, pilates, indoor cycling or boot camp, there's a fitness class that'll get you the workout you need, and the instruction you need to do it right.
• Acupuncture: Whether you're looking to pinpoint a specific health concern or just searching for a different way to relax, Carnivals onboard, licensed acupuncturist's table is a great place to do it.

When it comes to staterooms, one size only fits some. That's why Carnival has enough variety to satisfy any type of fun seeker.

• Interior Staterooms
  This is an affordable way to cruise without leaving out the comfort or convenience! Great for curling up after a long day of fun.
• Ocean View Staterooms
  A picture window gives you views of scenery you won't find anywhere on land, all from the comfort of your stateroom.
• Balcony Staterooms
  Balcony staterooms were designed for maximum sea breeze and the most stunning views, so look to a balcony if you're looking to cruise aboard Carnival Spirit.
• Suite Staterooms
  A Carnival Spirit suite is the ultimate way to cruise. With more space for stretching out indoors, plus a large balcony for kicking back outdoors, try a Suite to experience private, luxurious relaxation.
