Why Choose Carnival Cruise Line?

Carnival is all about lively, easy-going holidays where the whole family can find their fun. Days and evenings are built around activities, casual dining and entertainment, so there is always something going on. The ships sail mainly from ports across the United States, with a huge choice of Caribbean, Bahamas and Mexican itineraries, plus selected cruises in Alaska, Europe and Australia. Expect waterparks, comedy, live shows and children's clubs alongside familiar dining favourites, with optional drinks packages, speciality restaurants and extra experiences there to add if you fancy them.

Casual Dining Favourites

Relaxed, informal dining is where Carnival really shines. You will find meals in the main dining room and the buffet, along with casual venues that change from ship to ship. Popular spots across the fleet can include Guy's Burger Joint, BlueIguana Cantina, pizza and soft-serve ice cream. And when you fancy a special night out, speciality restaurants such as the steakhouses, Bonsai Sushi, Teppanyaki and the Chef's Table are there to book for a little extra.

Entertainment Day and Night

There is always something on. Carnival ships run a busy schedule of live music, deck parties, quizzes, karaoke and stage performances throughout the voyage. Many ships feature Playlist Productions, The Punchliner Comedy Club and Piano Bar 88, while selected vessels also offer Family Feud Live and their own signature venues. The mood is upbeat and sociable, especially on the shorter Caribbean and Bahamas cruises, and half the fun is discovering what is on aboard your ship.
