Carnival Cruise Line Info

Carnival is a mainstream cruise line with large mega-size ships. It's a great choice for people of all ages who are budget-focused or booking their first cruise, young honeymooners, and those who like to party into the wee hours. Carnival's Camp Carnival offers a great children's and teen's program, making it a good choice for family cruises. Dining and elbow room is not comparable to the quality found on higher-priced lines. Comparable cruise lines include Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean.

"Total Choice" Dining

Dining is always an important part of one's vacation experience. In addition to the main restaurants and buffets that provide decent fair that suit most everyone's needs, Carnival also has alternative dining restaurants onboard, like the reservations-only Supper Club (nominal additional charge), and complimentary 24-hour room service. Whether the culinary creations of French master chef Georges Blanc, healthy fare from the Spa Carnival selections, or the 24-hour pizzeria, a Mongolian Wok or the Indian Tandoor, guests will find Carnival's cuisine diversified fare.

Accommodations & Spas

Carnival Cruise Line's staterooms have always been spacious, though less luxurious than those of higher-priced cruise lines. Large staterooms is one reason a Carnival Cruise vacation is a good choice for family cruise vacations.

Recently introduced on some ships are new spa-themed accommodation categories. These offer guests enhanced in-room amenities and preferred spa access. Spa staterooms are offered at a premium fare, but worth considering for guests interested in today's spa lifestyle.

The new Carnival Dream features deluxe oceanview staterooms with two bathrooms, (similar to the design of Disney Cruises and ideal for a family cruise), and able to accommodate up to five persons. The ship sports a 19,000 square foot WaterWorks aqua park!

There's the Cloud 9 Spa, (all of 21,000-square-feet on Carnival Splendor), with thalassotherapy pool, thermal suite, laconium, tepidarium, rasul, aroma steam, accupuncture, and 17 beauty and treatment rooms! Your Dee's Travel Agency cruise expert can best suggest the stateroom type and ship best for you.

Carnival's Entertainment

Carnival cruise deals always excel in the value offered. Beyond room and food, Carnival provides action-packed stage shows at sea. Plus, there's always something going on at night: a lively casino, late night comedy and music acts, the piano bar, the sports bar, karaoke and cozy lounges.

During the day there's plenty to do when the ship is at sea. Most Carnival ships have a mini golf course. You can play basketball or pick up tips from the golf pro. Each ship offers a large fitness center and poolside games, not to mention Carnival's Twister Waterslide! Of course, some may prefer to enjoy the sun and relaxing in a deck chair with the day's cocktail, or a dip in the pool. There's a large outdoor TV screen broadcasting movies and music concerts.

Carnival is for Kids, Too

Most cruise lines offer various activities and programs for the "young" kids, which is one reason why this is such a great value for family cruise vacations. Carnival's supervised age-appropriate kids program for those aged 2 thru 17 will keep kids engaged and, in some cases, may provide them more fun than their parents are having! P.S. PlayStations onboard.
