Carnival Splendor

It’s hard to tell which onboard space best represents Carnival Splendor — they all seem to hint at the amazing time you’re going to have.

The words “Royal Flush Casino” incite visions of winning, while our onboard jazz club — The Cool — simply says it all without saying a word. And Fahrenheit 555™ can be found not only at the height of elegant dining, but at the actual apex of the ship.

If you like your fun to flow, there are options aplenty. If you list “splishing” and “splashing” among your favorite things to do, there’s Carnival WaterWorks. Those into sitting and sliding are invited to try the all-new Green Lightning thrill-slide. How about floating or swimming around? Carnival Splendor has pools all over the place, including the midship pool featuring a retractable roof that makes any day a pool day. So whether you splish or splash, you’ll find hydro-excitement galore.

If relaxation is your thing, Serenity Adult-Only Retreat™ is more your place. Or if you’re looking to take relaxation to the extreme, direct your attention to the Cloud 9 Spa™, featuring more (and better) ways to kick back than just about anywhere else, on land or at sea. You haven’t lived until you’ve relaxed in a Thalassotherapy pool, or chilled — so to speak — in a dry heat chamber.

THEME NIGHTS

On board Rock The Boat 2026 we have a wide range of fun, interactive theme nights that encourage passengers to relax, have fun, and take part in our full-ship dress-up parties and events!

If dressing up isn’t for you – don’t worry, it’s not compulsory. However, it is certainly encouraged and fun to get involved!

THEME NIGHTS ANNOUNCED SHORTLY - STAY TUNED!!

ACTIVITIES AROUND THE SHIP

Our House Sports Bar ($)

Just because you’re on a holiday doesn't mean you should miss the action back home! Whether you’re here to barrack for your home team or you just want to check in on the scores, you’ll love the energy-filled atmosphere of the sports bar. Order your go-to drink and just kick back as you watch your favourite sports come to life on our big flat-screen TVs.

Beer Station ($)

Thirsty? Be your own bartender and pour yourself a cold one during lunch, dinner… or really, any time of day. The Beer Station lets you fill up your mug with ThirstyFrog® Summer Ale — our special in-house brew — or fan-favourites from back on land like Carlton Draught and Tooheys.

Casino Bar ($)

Located right off the casino floor, the casino bar serves up your favourite cocktails, beer and wine, making this the perfect spot to celebrate with family, friends… and maybe even total strangers.

Alchemy Bar ($)

You don’t need to be a mix-master to appreciate Alchemy – you just have to be up for trying something new. We’ve been stirring up some magic behind the scenes here at Carnival to produce a tasty series of all-new cocktails served at this unique vintage-themed cocktail “pharmacy.”

Let our cocktail specialists prescribe you something from the bar, with both nonalcoholic and alcoholic elixirs to remedy what ails you. Or, create your own custom concoction from a variety of unique ingredients.

Serenity Adults Only Retreat

Somebody at Carnival knows just what you need, and it's the Adult-Only Serenity™ Retreat. You’ll still be on the same ship as the kids, but it will feel like an adult’s cruise. The adults-only retreat allows you to easily forget the Carnival-style excitement. Well, leave it to the kids anyway. You can sit back and enjoy a spa and hot tub, beauty salon, and facial treatment. And our Carnival cruise ship also includes the amazing Cloud 9 Spa, with a thermal suite, Hydrotherapy pool, and more. Once you’re relaxed, enjoy the nightlife and visit a bar, casino, or nightclub. And let the kids have their fun as well, with lots to do for tweens or teens. Enjoy adults cruise activities to reconnect with your partner, finish that book, have some lavish some spa time, or do absolutely, blissfully, nothing at all.

Sailaway Party

There are two kinds of people — land people and sea people. Unless they were born on a pirate ship, pretty much everybody starts out as a land person. And look, there’s nothing wrong with that. But there’s a process for becoming a sea person, and the Sailaway Party on your first Carnival cruise is where the transformation occurs. It’s actually pretty easy: get there and… you’re in the rockers club and ready to celebrate! (Then, on your second Carnival cruise — and let’s be honest, you’ll be back — strap on your sea legs, find a cruise newbie and join them in a toast to the great times to come.)

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.

Atrium

First impressions are important to us, that’s why the atrium, your first taste of your Carnival cruise, makes you go ‘wow.’ From the moment you step aboard, the atrium — the heart of the ship — simply screams “welcome aboard!” There’s hustle and bustle, there’s music and high ceilings featuring panoramic views of the whole scene from the upper decks. This 360-degree funspot is also the home of the Guest Services desk, the place you go if you have questions for one of our certified fun experts… try them out to see if they can make your experience just that little bit better.

RedFrog Rum Bar ($)

Guests have told us we hit on something special with the cool Caribbean chill of the RedFrog Pub. We've 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, plus plenty of Carnival’s signature private-label draft beer, ThirstyFrog Summer Ale.

RedFrog Pub ($)

Get into an island state of mind before you even set foot on one. RedFrog® Pub is our laid-back, no-worries, oh-so-lively Key West-inspired pub. Dominate at the foosball table, enjoy some sweet tunes from live musicians and sip our 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.

Pixels Photography ($)

Since photos are a big part of how you and your crew will remember your cruise, you can rely on Carnival’s photo-pros to bring your fun side into focus — lighting and background, shutter speed and aperture know-how goes into every shot they take. You’ll find our pros all over the ship: when you’re gathered around the dining room table, as you step off the ship at your destination… and plenty of times in between. You’ll even find creative and fun backdrops around the ship that you can casually stop by and do a quick pose in front of!

Liquor ($)

Did you know that your bartender will be glad to list the ingredients of your favorite onboard cocktail? Give it a shake once you get home… but first, make sure your bar is ready for action. Stock up on spirits at the onboard Fun Shops™!

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 songs. Pull up a seat, order your favourite cocktail, and let your friendly piano player know which songs you'd like to hear. Then join the sing-along for a hand-clapping, foot-tapping, finger-snapping good time. Don't feel like flexing your vocal cords? No worries. Shy songbirds are welcome here, too. And since it's open from early evening to late at night, it's the perfect spot for a before-dinner drink or singing 'til the wee hours of the evening.

Nightclub

Get up and get down at the most happening club in the Pacific. The DJs at our cruise nightclub are spinning today's hottest hits and yesterday's golden oldies, guaranteed to get you out of your seat and tapping your feet. (Hey, that rhymed!) Whether you're doing the robot or the worm or just swaying to the music, you'll want to dance 'til dawn. Or at least 'til last call. Oh yeah... our themed parties are pretty fun too. Our cruise nightclub isn’t the only nighttime cruise entertainment. With even more bars onboard, there’s plenty of fun to be had.

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 a well-manicured fairway... plus one cactus, a treasure chest... and wait, is that a windmill in the way? Just who designed this course anyway? Whoever it was, they had one thing in mind — maximum fun for mini-golfers, big and small! That's precisely why you'll find a course on every Carnival ship, where you can hit the holes and take in everything you’d expect, like the sights and the sounds... plus the seagulls.

Men's Services ($)

Why let the ladies have all the fun to themselves at the spa? Razor-close barbershop-style shaves add a touch of manliness to the spa experience , and speaking of the barber, a cruise is a great time to rock a whole new hairstyle, a quick grey-hair darkening, or even just a fresh trim. And why not go for a little extra relaxation with a massage or even a facial while you’re at it?

Zumbini

Cruises are great for relaxing… unless you’re a kid! Since kids have virtually unlimited energy — and you know they definitely bring it with them on vacation — your Carnival cruise will get your kids moving and developing with Zumbini®, created by Zumba® & BabyFirst™. On every sailing, kids 2–5 years old will enjoy a free 30-minute Zumbini class that brings together the same musical fun that families love on land. The class features Zumbini songs, activities, special instruments and more, all in the name of movement. And on sailings six days or longer, we’ll be hosting a Family Zumbini class where parents can join their kids and our youth staff for guided activities focusing on parent-child bonding… and, of course, fun!

Designer Watches ($)

Time isn’t really a big deal on vacation, so it may seem surprising that one of the best times to save on watches is during your cruise. But it’s true! From the simple to the sporty, the intricate to the luxurious, our onboard Fun Shops™ have a selection to fit your style, your wrist… and even your budget. Grab a new dive watch for your shore excursion, or something sparkly for elegant night, and you’ll save money with lower than retail prices. Whether it’s a timepiece to commemorate a great holiday, a thoughtful gift for someone back home, or just because the time is right — all purchases are tax-free and duty-free! — head to The Fun Shops for big-time savings.

Carnival Waterworks

Make your way to Carnival WaterWorks™, the family-friendly onboard waterpark of Carnival Cruise Line, for the ultimate aquatic adventure. Kick things off with Carnival’s Twister Waterslide™, a thrilling water coaster that promises one of the most exhilarating experiences you can find on a cruise ship. Alternatively, you can brave the epic plunge from our Green Lightning slide slide for the perfect storm on the best cruise ship (note: WaterWorks features may vary by ship).

But the fun doesn't stop there! Our aqua park is just one of the many family cruise activities onboard to add to your itineraries. Keep the cruise ship water fun going with our popular pools and dive-in movies. Or, try our mini golf course or explore our dining options. We also offer a variety of indoor activities for children of all ages, including Camp Ocean and our fitness centre.

Video Arcade ($)

If you love to play video games, you’re in luck. Our video arcade boasts a huge array of games, and is open to players of all ages, all night and all day. So get some tokens from the vending machine and let the fun times begin. Challenge your friends to a game, or just see if you can beat the top score. After all, with the video arcade open 24 hours and an entire cruise ahead of you, you’ll have plenty of time to try.

Twister Waterslide

Above the ship you'll find the shining sun, but that's not all — basking in its rays is a gleaming symbol of fun, a monument to merriment... a sign of splashy-good times to come. 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. Countless amounts of water rush through the entire length of this slide, so you're by no means dry when you start, but by the time you reach the end — hundreds of feet later — you reach new levels of soaking, splashing down in that classic waterslide photo-finish: hands-up, eyes wide and nothing but exhilaration on your face.

Beauty Shops & Medi-Spa ($)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder when you pay a visit to the cruise beauty shops onboard Carnival. With the offer of top-selling beauty brands, at up to 25 per cent of the recommended retail price, the beauty allure is simply irresistible at our cruise beauty shops.

Part of Carnival’s Fun Shops, these stores offer an extensive product selection from all the popular international beauty brands. If you’re in the market for a new lipstick, designer fragrance, skincare, cosmetics, hair and health products, our cruise beauty shops are your one-stop shop. Cruise holiday goers should also keep an eye out for Travel Exclusives, which offer extra-special prices on famous brands that you can only find on ship and in store at our cruise beauty shops.

Has anyone told you lately that you’re a beautiful person? We’re telling you — we like you the way you are. Now, with that said, we want to let you know that your Carnival cruise contains a Medi-spa. We’re certainly not saying that you need them, but if you’ve been thinking about Dysport treatments, this spa is a good place to do them. Get them on vacation and they’ll always be administered by our onboard Medi-spa physician, a licensed medical doctor. These are non-surgical, anti-wrinkle procedures that show results in days, and last for months, so you can keep enjoying the benefits even after you’re back home.

Library

With wall-to-wall activities on offer, most people wouldn’t consider their cruise 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. Forgot to bring a book? E-reader battery just died? Carnival ships feature an onboard library stocked with the good stuff. For the silent types, it’s a great place to read, but if the roar of the ocean is more your soundtrack, the library is a great place to find a good read to devour, al fresco.

Jogging Track

The running track length encompasses the deck-level perimeter of your Carnival cruise ship. The length of three football fields, the jogging tracks encircle the top deck, thus offering ample mileage for long-distance or shorter-term running styles, speeds and duration.

There’s nothing quite like an open-air run on a padded track, accompanied by inviting sea breezes and sweeping ocean views, to set your spirit soaring. The cruise ship running tracks or jogging tracks onboard your Carnival cruise ship are designed for all ages to line up, gather pace and momentum, align your long-term fitness goals or simply run for the fun. Use of the cruise ship jogging tracks and fitness centres are inclusive of your cruise.

Onboard Internet ($)

Is a holiday a time for disconnecting? Yes! But isn’t it a great time to stay connected and share the good times you’re having with everyone back home? Also yes! That’s why your Carnival cruise gives you options for just how in-touch you want to stay. Looking to share every moment as it happens, hashtag it up and get all the Likes? You’re gonna love our onboard WiFi, which lets you do the social thing and connect your phone, tablet or laptop wherever you are on the ship. Or are you looking to check in every now and then — have a look at your email, check the news and send a note home? Stop in to your ship’s Internet Café, sit down at a computer and enjoy the kinda-connected life. Holiday purist looking to get away from all the news feeds and trending whatevers? We dig your style — a Carnival cruise remains the disconnectedest kind of holiday.
