Sailaway Party

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 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.)

Serenity Adults only retreat 

Sit back and enjoy a spa and hot tub, beauty salon, and facial treatment. Carnival cruise ships also include the amazing Cloud 9 Spa, with a thermal suite, Hydrotherapy pool, and more. 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.

Bonsai Sushi Express 

A mouthwatering selection of sushi, sashimi, rolls and more — made to order and packed up to take with you. And don’t forget that there’s more to Bonsai Sushi Express than just the quickness… getting your roll on the run is an easy way to enjoy it anywhere on the ship.

Contemporary Dining 

Dragon Lady is bringing the heat, the spice, the intoxicating flavours, and exotic tones of East Asia. With a sultry mix of dark timbers and exotic tones, Dragon Lady provides an intimate and mysterious setting. Be seduced by the exotic scents and spices of a menu inspired by Australian’s passion for East Asian cuisine. From flavourful soups, and delicate dim sims to delicious braises and stir-fries, every mouthful is bursting with flavour.

Dive in Movies 

Ready to see stars? Park yourself in front of the big screen — the really big screen — and settle in for a night at the cinema… under some real stars. From the comfort of your poolside lounge chair, or even the pool itself, you'll enjoy the most recent blockbuster movies at our cruise ship theatre. And don't think a cruise cinema in the middle of the sea means going without the usual comforts. There's not only popcorn — who could forget that? — but blankets! So, lounge around, snuggle up and enjoy a night at the movies.
