Serenity Adults Only Retreat

Spending time with the family during a cruise vacation is great, but sometimes you just want to let the kids do their own thing so you can pamper yourself with a bit of uninterrupted relaxation. The Serenity Adults Only Retreat is a special area of the deck offering relaxation in the form of beautiful lounges and a bar. Here you can order delicious cocktails while you catch up on that book, or simply do nothing at all.

This specially designed relaxation area has been developed to provide you with the perfect temperature, from dry heat to soothing moisture. With this spectacular variety of environments to suit your needs, you’ll find the ultimate in comfort like never before.

Skybox Sports Bar

Assorted Bars

There are also a number of other bars that can be found onboard, including a tequila bar, a pour your own beer station, piano bar, karaoke bar and specialty cocktail bars.

While you’ll find a great assortment of bars throughout the ship, if you want something a little more relaxing and sophisticated, you’ll want to visit the wine bar. Featuring a great selection of wines sold by the glass and the bottle, you’ll have the chance to find new favorites while enjoying a good conversation with your fellow shipmates.

Nightclubs and Late Night Deck Parties

Limelight Lounge

A traditional lounge atmosphere combined with the high energy found onboard, this lounge delivers the best in all types of entertainment, from comedy to music and everything in between.

9 KID-FRIENDLY FOODS YOU’LL FIND ON A CRUISE
By Carnival Cruise Line

Cruise ships aren’t what they used to be, and neither are the guests. They’re even better. Today’s Carnival ships offer the level of excitement of an amusement park, the entertainment of a new movie theater complex and the incredible food choices of your favorite restaurants.

Carnival cruises are an ideal family vacation for those with even the most finicky of little eaters. Gone are the days when parents would have to exhaustively search high and low for food their kids would enjoy. Instead, kids have an incredible choice of cruise dining dishes, ranging from the sweetest desserts to the most savory of meals and everything in between.

A Morning Appointment with Dr. Seuss: The Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast

Dr. Seuss and his beloved cast of characters have been a children’s favorite for decades. On Carnival’s Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast, kids get to dine with some of their favorite characters while eating delicious dishes inspired by all things Seussian. Colors, tastes and smells all swirl around in a dizzying combination that will delight kids of all ages, turning breakfast time into an adventure worthy of the Cat in the Hat.

Dr. Seuss green eggs and ham breakfast

1. Green Eggs and Ham: What would a Dr. Seuss-inspired breakfast be without the namesake of one of his most famous books? It truly fits its description by bringing the book’s wild dish to life.

2. Truffula Tree Pancakes: Taking a page from the Cat in the Hat’s favorite headwear, this tilting stack of pancakes and its alternating colors of crimson and white recreate the whimsical feel of the Lorax and look of the Cat himself.

3. Horton’s Cereal-Crusted French Toast: The beloved elephant Horton created this imaginative concoction by fusing the kid-favorite “fruity” cereal to French toast, resulting in an encrusted delight of which kids can’t get enough.

Along with other dishes inspired by Dr. Seuss, such as waffles, juices, parfait and omelets, the Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast offers a variety of standard dishes, many catering to particular diets and restrictions. Let this Dr. Seuss-inspired event start your family-cruising day with fun and endless imagination!

Lunch and Dinner for Every Appetite

Whether it’s to refuel during an adventure-packed day aboard a Carnival cruise or a nighttime meal to cap the fun, kids have a variety of lunch and dinner choices. Ranging from ordinary dishes to something more slightly daring such as international cuisine, our younger passengers will be thrilled with the choices, as will their parents.

Cucina Del Capitano

It’s hard to find food that is more family-friendly than Italian cuisine. At Cucina Del Capitano, Carnival guests enjoy authentic Italian-American dishes inspired by the childhood meals of our own Italian captains and officers. Kids and their parents love the comfortable, family-style serving and distinct atmosphere.

4. Spaghetti and Meatballs: This is a childhood favorite with an authentic flavor and feel. Available for both lunch and dinner, this traditional spaghetti and meatball dish is guaranteed to satisfy any Italian craving a kid might have while onboard.

5. Sicilian Cannoli: For the sweet tooth that lies within nearly every child, this Italian classic often introduces a new dessert to kids who never cease to be amazed by its unique combination of rich chocolate and sweet mascarpone and ricotta wrapped in a light pastry roll.

Guy’s Burger Joint

With the help of TV host Guy Fieri, Carnival’s take on the classic American burger joint offers kids a unique spin on the burgers they already love, all during an exciting family cruise.

6. Plain Jane: When the kids are looking for something on the familiar side, the Plain Jane is the perfect choice. Available with or without cheese, the Plain Jane won’t rock the figurative boat when kids are craving a meal they’ve had at home and in their favorite restaurants.

7. The Ringer: Of course, once a child gathers their sea legs and feels a bit more daring, the Ringer is a great choice to try something a little more daring based on what they already know. Slathered with Guy’s BBQ sauce and a huge onion ring, the Ringer is a Carnival favorite that kids love. All of that BBQ sauce means plenty of napkins will be needed after your child takes their first bite into the Ringer.

All of the burgers at Guy’s Burger Joint come with hand cut, seasoned french fries while the toppings bar makes it easy for kids to customize their burger to truly make it their own.

Available Around the Clock

A cruise is a time to experience new, exciting and even thrilling moments together as a family. For that reason, Carnival also offers many dishes 24 hours a day in case schedules get a bit irregular in the midst of all the fun.

8. Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches: An old-fashioned classic that’s still a childhood favorite and go-to meal for busy parents, this quick, traditional meal is available at all hours of the day and night for early-risers, night owls and kids looking for a fast, yummy dish.

9. Pizza: It’s hard to find a child who will turn down a slice or two of pizza when they’re hungry. On Carnival, this perennially popular dish can be enjoyed anytime, night or day, for a delicious, kid-friendly meal.

A vacation aboard a Carnival cruise is meant to inspire and create lasting memories for all members of the family, both young and old. With the many foods to choose from, including the tasty choices on the regular menus, mealtime on Carnival is bound to become a source of comfort and delight for kids and parents alike.

We LOVE the Dr. Seuss breakfast. Maybe I'm just a kid at heart, but I always enjoy this time on the ship. You do not have to have children to go to this event. The cost is $5 per person and is "usually" held on the last day at sea.

GREEN EGGS AND HAM BREAKFAST

Pack your imagination, but don’t forget your appetite as the whole family embarks on a breakfast that’s part meal, and part journey into the deliciously whimsical world of Dr. Seuss.

Sit down to a truly fantastical feast at the Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast with The Cat in the Hat and Friends. Bright colors and patterns decorate your table, which features fun and unique menus.

Feast! Feast! Feast! Lose yourself exploring a delicious menu where you’ll find “Green Eggs and Ham,” brightly colored fruit, gravity-defying pancake stacks, funky french toast, “Moose Juice” ‘n’ ”Goose Juice”… and much more. (Classic breakfast offerings are available as well.) Breakfast is also the perfect time to meet and greet the stars of Dr. Seuss — characters will be around for special photo opportunities and fun interactions, making this a meal to remember.

The kids of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® are some of the bravest, coolest kids anywhere. And Carnival guests, crew and travel partners: give yourselves a hand, because you’ve shown them some incredible support over the last few years through our Care to Play program.

Through all of our shared efforts, we’ve now raised more than $16 million to help St. Jude fight childhood cancer. And not to brag, but we’ve been on an absolute tear lately, hitting our last goal a full two years ahead of schedule. Hand-in-hand, Carnival and our partners have passed milestone after milestone, setting our sights on ever-larger goals. Now we’re ready to meet our most ambitious one so far: raise another $2 million in the next five years… for a total of $18 million.

We’re ready.

We put up big numbers, but we still keep focused on what matters most — the kids of St. Jude. Carnival puts fun at the center of everything we do, and we’re so devoted to this that we’re the Official Celebration Partner for St. Jude. That’s why we’re supporting birthdays at the hospital… when a patient celebrates their special day, Carnival brings the cake! What’s more, Carnival supports the annual St. Jude Teen Formal, where legendary spin master DJ IRIE gets the party moving… and keeps everyone grooving.

There are plenty of opportunities for you to help St. Jude Indicates external site which may or may not meet accessibility guidelines. Opens in a new tab. when you cruise… or anytime.
