You will always find something to do on the ship that will not cost you a dime. On Carnival Cruise Line, you can enjoy modern fitness facilities and an outdoor jogging track for a workout at almost any time of day. Various poolside activities and deck parties also occur when the weather permits. Other onboard events like trivia, cooking demonstrations, games, and seminars are also included in the cruise fare.
These events will be listed in the Fun Times daily schedule left in your room each evening. So, be sure to check for the exact events occurring on your cruise. Even if you do not participate, these daily activities are equally as fun to watch. Here, there will be featured Playlist Productions, 30 minute musical productions featuring the cast of singers and dancers. Several Carnival ships also feature family-friendly entertainment that is unique to the cruise line. The great thing about Carnival Cruise Line is that none of these shows require advanced reservations.
Carnival Cruise Line also features dedicated venues on select ships for piano music, comedy shows, karaoke, sporting events, and more. Included in the cruise fare on Carnival Cruise Line are youth programs for children aged years old.
Camp Ocean offers kids supervised, age-based activities Penguin years old, Stingrays years old, and Sharks years old like arts and crafts, games, movies, and more. Kids 2—5 years old can also enjoy a free minute Zumbini class. Circle C is the supervised hangout for those years old, while Club O2 is for those years old. These areas include dance parties, games, video games, and movies, with other activities also taking place around the ship.
Several Carnival ships also offer Seuss at Sea with special Dr. Seuss programming including character parades, interactive storytime, Bookville, and more for a truly unforgettable family vacation. Other family fun activities can also include a Dive-In movie night, the Hasbro game show, or some friendly competition in the SportSquare. While cruises do provide a great vacation value, not everything will be covered in the cruise fare. On Carnival Cruise Line, there are other amenities that can be purchased if cruisers choose to do so.
Your cruise ship will transport you to several exciting ports of call. Unfortunately, shore excursions are not part of the base fare. These tours and additional experiences can be booked through the cruise line or through third part retailers at additional costs.
Shore excursions can range from inexpensive walking tours to several hundreds of dollars for unique experiences. As mentioned previously, alcoholic beverages are not part of the cruise fare.
On Carnival ships, beer, wine, cocktails, soda, specialty coffee and tea, and bottled water will all cost additional fees.
Depending on your drinking habits, purchasing the Cheers beverage package might be a better option than paying the a la carte pricing. Soda, juices, specialty coffee, energy drinks, and bottled water are also included in this package. There are free Dive-in Movies by the pool, Broadway-style musicals, game shows and magicians at the 1,seat theatres, plus comedians at the Punchliner Comedy Club. Various bands and solo entertainers perform at multiple bars and lounges, and on select nights you can sing on stage with a band at the best karaoke at sea.
To get into the swing of things, pack costumes for the free themed party nights, which are a great laugh. The Funtimes cruise newsletter will arrive in your cabin daily and is packed with more than 45 activities to choose from each day. Staff-led deck activities include a beanbag toss, golf chipping competitions, a Wiggle for Westmead fundraiser and family scavenger hunts. There are also organised pool games, sports tournaments, card games, quiz and trivia sessions, cooking demonstrations, health and wellness seminars, dance classes, towel-folding workshops and more.
The all-weather Dome pool has a retractable roof, elevated hot tub and plenty of sun lounges. The Sun Pool is located further forward toward the bow and is identical to the Dome Pool, minus the proliferation of sun lounges. The Serenity Pool is a smaller pool and hot tub located in the adults-only Serenity area. Carnival's waterpark area on the top deck is a standout and has a SplashZone for little cruisers with mini-slides, water play and tipping buckets.
There's also a nine-hole mini-golf course, a golf simulator and a basketball court on the Sports Deck. Passengers also have free use of the ship's huge air-conditioned fitness facility fitted with state-of-the-art equipment including weight machines and free weights, stationary and recumbent bikes, cross-trainers, stair climbers, treadmills and a rowing machine.
Families have access to a fully supervised, complimentary kids' club program, run by qualified youth staff and separated into age-appropriate groups. Camp Ocean has been devised by an expert panel of specialists in children's engagement, along with actual parents, to offer hundreds of free educational ocean-themed activities designed by age and stage in supervised facilities.
It is divided into three age-appropriate areas including Penguins for two- to five-year-olds, Stingrays for six to eight-year-olds, and Sharks for nine to year-olds.
The kids engage in free play and fun activities including arts and crafts, magic shows, face painting, dancing, cooking sessions and scavenger hunts. The separate Circle C is a hideaway for to year-olds with game consoles, a dance floor and supervised activities, while Club O2 is more of a casual hang out for those aged 15 to 17, though there are optional activities including organised sports on the basketball court and late-night parties.
While there is certainly a lot included in Carnival's standard fare, some optional extras that may tempt you to splurge a little. There is no alcohol drinks package sold on either Carnival Spirit or Carnival Legend cruises from Australia. Alcohol cannot be brought onboard and will be confiscated if caught by the cruise terminal scanners.
However, Carnival does allow passengers to carry up to 12 cans of soft drink per person in their personal luggage. If the free machine coffee isn't ood enough for you, barista-brewed coffee is available. There are several alternate dining options charging a fee. The food and variety are fantastic so for foodies, the following restaurants offer great value for money. Bonsai Sushi: Open for lunch and dinner, Bonsai Sushi , a Japanese-style restaurant, is sure to impress all sushi fans.
Nouveau: Treat yourself to the finest aged beef, cut, weighed and cooked to your specifications. There's also ribs, chops, seafood and poultry from an extensive menu complemented by the season's freshest produce and the best wine lists, handpicked by the sommelier to match your meal. Highlights include escargots, tuna tartare, filet mignon, massive porterhouse, lobster ravioli and lobster tails. The VIP culinary extravaganza starts with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres followed by a galley kitchen tour with the head chef.
The main event is a sumptuous multicourse molecular gastronomy feast with free-flowing red and white wine included. It has to be one of the cheapest degustation meals in Australia, at sea or on land.
Seafood Shack: Seafood Shack is a new venue near the buffet, open from 4 p. Fresh seafood is sourced from Sydney Fish Market at the beginning of each cruise. Room Service: The kitchen never closes on a Carnival Cruise Line ship and hour room service is available at a cost. The most fun culinary experiences, especially for those cruising with kids, are the themed brunch and afternoon teas. There are also visits from The Cat in the Hat and Friends, Things 1 and 2 and Sam himself making this a meal to remember.
Shore excursions organised by Carnival Cruise Line at designated port stops are by far the most convenient way to explore a destination with priority disembarking and a guaranteed return time.
And while excursions are not always as cheap as similar tours at port, they can provide exclusive opportunities for passengers that would not normally be available and the security of knowing the tour operators have been vetted for quality. Behind the Fun is a guided tour that provides a unique insight into Carnival's shipboard operations. Highlights of the 3. Wi-Fi is available throughout the ship and the connection, though not fast on sea days, is more than reliable.
Carnival's extensive spa and salon menu offers treatments for the face and body, as well as cosmetic treatments, slimming treatments and acupuncture.
