Carnival Mardi Gras offers exciting entertainment for all ages. Whether you love live music, Broadway-style shows, or comedy, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The ship features stunning performances, including musicals and variety shows, as well as themed parties and movie nights. You can also enjoy karaoke, live bands, and vibrant dance floors. The entertainment on Mardi Gras is designed to keep guests entertained day and night, ensuring that no matter what you enjoy, there’s always a fun activity or show waiting for you to enjoy during your cruise.
For centuries, Family Feud™ has captivated viewers at home. However, you've never had the opportunity to participate aboard a cruise ship. Don't miss Family Feud™ Live, available on Carnival cruises! Hosting games on an actual Family Feud stage, complete with the renowned Face-Off podium and all the excitement of Fast Money. Family Feud Live is hosted by your cruise director, who knows how much enjoyment he can offer to the game. So, if you're interested, register your group of five for an audition. Don't worry, we won't judge you, but your fellow cruisers will bring that Family Feud spirit to the audition! And, of course, everyone is welcome to take a seat in the audience to witness all the hilarious action!
Everyone has those perfect songs that always get them going. Playlist Productions™ creates personalized playlists. Your favorites become full-fledged musical performances with singers and dancers who bring the house down. Shows differ by ship, but there is a playlist for any music fan. Need some examples? Consider Amor Cubano™, FLICK™, or Vintage Pop™ for a mix of 20s jazz and modern songs. Prepare for excitement as romance and pop tunes merge in the interactive Dear Future Husband. Celebrate your patriotism with America Rocks™! Get into the rhythm with the impassioned Heart of Soul™. Experience Epic Rock™, 88 Keys™, 80s Pop to the Max™, as well as groovy and intelligent music. Studio VIP™ is open to anyone, making it a welcoming place to dance!
Land-based comedy clubs can be rather entertaining. Nobody enjoys paying cover costs, and do you know about the two-drink minimum? They must be joking! The Punchliner Comedy Club™ aboard your Carnival cruise does not offer one of these. Up on stage, you'll discover some true professionals who know how to inject some humor into anyone's evening. You can count on these comedians to not hold back. Since some of them come up and say precisely what's on their mind, arrange family-friendly performances suitable for all ages. So, the only crimson faces in the audience are the result of excessive laughter.
Ready to view the stars? With Dive-In Movies at Carnival Seaside Theater™, you can relax in front of a large screen and enjoy true stars. From the luxury of your poolside lounge chair, you may watch sporting events and recent blockbuster blockbusters. Bring your swimwear and take in all the excitement from the pool! The screen is large and attractive, making every seat ideal. However, it's not just the view that matters; it's also the breeze and enjoyment of fantastic entertainment together. So come out to see a show and try to remember a more relaxed night at the theater.
Do you remember the game show with the briefcases full of money, the giant red button, and the mystery banker calling in deals? You've seen it on TV, now experience it on your next Carnival trip. When it comes to Deal or No Deal at Sea, there are TWO ways to win—and only one of them is reserved for the lucky participant on stage! It works like this: buy a game card (or buy two or three to save money), and each card you hold gives you another chance to be randomly chosen to enter the stage and play the fan-favorite game of removing briefcases throughout the rounds for a $1,000 prize. Even if you are not chosen, you can still participate in the game by matching your game card and moving up the prize board. (And lucky cardholders in the audience can win up to $5,000!) Of course, you must be 18 or older to play, but everyone is welcome to enjoy the action from the studio audience. Deal?
Play it again, Sam. Or Diana. Or whatever your name is. At this bar, you have control over both the music and the drinks. Hey, songbird. Take a seat, drink your favorite cocktail, and tell your friendly piano player what you want to hear. Then join the singalong for a fun time with handclapping, foot tapping, and finger snapping. Do you not feel like flexing your vocal cords? Don't worry, hummingbirds are also welcome here. And, as the bar is open from the evening until late at night, it's ideal for an early drink or singing in the wee hours.
Believe that you have the potential to be a rock star, pop superstar, or country singer. Let yours out on a Carnival ship; seize the stage and grab the microphone because ears are waiting. Every ship has live karaoke action, so whether your musical aspirations are based on vintage riffs or recent songs, come aboard and browse the extensive collection - you'll find hot tracks you've been dying to perform. Are you ready to strike an '80s classic? Sing some Motown? Bring the boy band? Enjoy karaoke during your voyage. Your moment in the spotlight has arrived.
Want to rock 'n' roll every night and day? You've found the right ship. Bring some of the top performers from land to sea for an unforgettable experience. From upbeat island rock at RedFrog Pub® to sing-alongs at the piano bar to let 's-get-this-party-started jams on Lido deck, there's bound to be a live performance on board that gets your hands clapping and toes tapping. Carnival LIVE offers the best concert experience at sea.
Get up and get down at the hottest club in the Caribbean. DJs are spinning today's biggest hits as well as yesterday's nostalgic jams, which are sure to have you up and dancing. (Hey, it rhymed!) Whether you're performing the robot, the worm, or simply swaying to the music, you'll want to dance till the sun comes up. Or at least till the last call. (Some people are born with all the perfect steps, but the rest of us need a little training to smooth out the harsh edges, which is why you'll find a plethora of free dance lessons that sail along with you!)
If you are hungry, head to the deli! But, whether you're a pickleball beginner or a seasoned expert, there's a location on board where you can get together for some friendly competition. In this scaled-down tennis-like game—pop! — Oh, that is just how it sounds when someone smashes the ball; you'll grow used to it. This game has a long history dating back to the 1960s, but it has recently grown in popularity, and your cruise is an excellent opportunity to learn the basic principles and try your hand at it – pop! — Yeah, like they just did. So, if you've ever played tennis, ping-pong, or badminton, you may already have the skills. And even if you haven't, just—pop! — Come on over for a game.
Is vacation a time to disconnect? Yes! But isn't it a terrific time to keep in touch and share your experiences with everyone back home? Also, yay! That is why your Carnival® cruise allows you to choose how in-touch you wish to stay. Want to share every moment as it happens? You'll adore the onboard WiFi, which allows you to socialize while connecting your phone, iPad, or laptop from anywhere on the ship. WiFi access is also ideal if you only want to check in on occasion — check your email, read the news, and maybe send a quick message home. This means you can live a connected existence with three WiFi plans to choose from. Carnival cruises offer the opportunity to disengage from social media and other distractions for those seeking a relaxing vacation.
With more possibilities to win than ever before, bingo on a cruise ship is unlike any other. Prepare to play some crazy-exciting bingo where you can scream and holler if you win big! The prices are larger, the packaging is more enjoyable, and there are even souvenir daubers to indicate your numbers. So, bring your friends, since the more people that participate, the more money there is to win. The next B-6 might be the lucky call that wins you a $5,000 jackpot!
Treat yourself to something delicious throughout your trip, and Cherry On Top™ is the ideal destination. This well-stocked candy-and-more store is not only fantastic for enjoying some of your favorite confectionary, but also for picking up food and clothes gifts for that special someone, even if that someone happens to be you! Scream for cool stuff? Visit the ice cream counter at the Cherry On Top shops on Carnival Vista® and Carnival Horizon® for a trademark ice cream creation or make your own with a variety of mix-ins and toppings. I won't judge you for eating ice cream with your hands. Simply propose one of the ice cream cookie sandwiches. Build one by hand and load it with whichever ice cream and toppings you choose.
The same ship that has waterslides and conga lines also has a photography oasis. On vacation, everyone grins brightly and looks their best. At Dreams Studio, skilled photographers brilliantly capture this side of people, couples, groups, and families. Reserve your session, and your trip begins. Guide you to the best photo spots aboard the ship, in the onboard photo studio, or ashore in gorgeous locations. You'll end up with stunning prints or high-quality digital files. Don't forget to look at picture packages, personalized photo books, collages, and huge prints.
Here is where you come in! The Atrium, which serves as the gateway to both the ship and the vacation itself, is your first impression of all the fun to come. Make certain that this, the core of the ship, screams "Welcome aboard the fun!" The Atrium, with its multi-level panoramic vistas, is the ideal place to take in all of the activity. There is always music playing here, whether it's a live band or a party-pumping DJ, and you can attend events throughout the day or get a drink at the bar at any time. The 360-degree fun spot also houses the Guest Services desk, where trained fun specialists may answer any questions, you may have.
Ah, imagine a perfect day on the links, the golfer's zen of the ball, the hole, and nothing in between except a well-kept fairway... with one cactus, a treasure box... and wait, is that a windmill in the way? Who created this course, anyway? Whoever it was had one goal in mind: maximum fun for all mini-golfers, large and small! That's why every Carnival® ship has a course where you may hit the holes and enjoy everything you'd expect, including the sights and sounds... and the seagulls.
Even if you don't "know" much about art, you can identify when something appeals to you – who needs a nuanced palette to recognize a beautiful piece? Carnival® abandons snobbish cultural pretensions and transforms art into something that everyone can enjoy through a series of events aimed at returning great art to where it belongs: the people. Participating in an art-themed battle of the sexes or attending showcases featuring the best of, say, European artists or world-renowned pop artist Peter Max. Experiencing excellent art requires purchasing it.
Gather your most delicately plated friends and family to join you at Alchemy Bar®, the top onboard spot for a one-of-a-kind bar experience. Choose four mini-martinis from flavors such as Spicy Chipotle Pineapple, and Curative Peach Cosmopolitan, or let us create a bespoke one for you. Once you've discovered your favorite, you may order the full-size version on your next order.
Because images are an important part of how you and your crew will remember your trip, you can rely on Carnival's photo professionals to bring your fun side into focus – lighting and background, shutter speed, and aperture knowledge go into every shot they capture. Professionals can be found throughout the ship, from the dining room to the destination. And many times, in between. You'll even find innovative and fun backdrops throughout the ship where you can stop and pose for a short photo!
Carnival has ways to recognize the service of US and Canadian military men and veterans. Exclusive military cruise deals, undoubtedly, but the biggest compliments come during the voyage: during the Military Appreciation Gathering. Here, we recognize not only their courage and sacrifice but also that of their families. This ceremony is held on every cruise, always during Military Appreciation Day, and everyone is welcome to attend and show their support. However, the longest-serving military member in the room is always recognized and receives a unique hero coin, while all members leave with a commemorative pin. It's also worth noting that one service member will win a free trip each month, and this is the only opportunity to enter the contest.
Cognitive scientists (fully grown people without bedtimes) agree that play is vital for childhood development! I would add that play is crucial for people of all ages, thus onboard games are a big part of the Carnival® experience for both young and old! From physical challenges to scavenger hunts and more, Carnival puts the "all" in "fun for all." (Not to mention "fun.")
Go from 'regular vacationer' to 'world-traveling art wiz' in one trip flat – Carnival® provides such a diverse range of instructive and fascinating seminars that Art History degrees should be awarded at the end of each cruise! Your cruise may not be an authorized university, but it does include a 'Art 101' lecture series that will serve as your introduction to this dynamic world. From the earliest cave paintings to modern artists, with stops in the Renaissance, Baroque, Surrealism, and Pop Art, this course covers both theory and technique. Gain valuable knowledge for art auctions and cocktail parties.
Carnival cruises are all about service. There is usually someone to take your dinner order, change your bed, bring you drinks, provide massages at the spa, and so on. There is virtually little on board where you are left to fend for yourself. Volleyball is an activity that should be considered self-service. That being stated, regardless of your serving style (overhand, underhand, or sidearm), you can take to the court and start the game your way.
A room full of overly serious old men, many wearing monocles, paying top bucks for precious antique works of art. If "art auction" comes to mind, set your expectations before your Carnival® cruise! Unlike a stuffy auction house, your trip includes a series of auction events meant to transform high art into high entertainment. From the fast-paced "Lightning" action to the low-cost thrills of the "under $500" tournament, there are lots of opportunities to try your hand at winning big and having a good time doing it. Unlike land auctions, they also include exciting participatory events such as the "Guess the Price" game. However, aboard auctions are not without luxuries; after all, what is an auction without free-flowing champagne?
Onboard art games on your Carnival® ship allow you to immerse yourself in the emotional power of art. Nobody would mistake this vacation for still life'—these action-packed competitions truly 'pop,' offering you a chance to try your hand at 'impressionism'—showing what you know about the dollars and cents of art valuation. Playing is always free, even if the stakes have been raised. In this game, an artistic award is on the line.
You may believe that basketball is all about the hoop and getting the ball in, but you've never played aboard a Carnival® ship. It's all about the journey to the hoop, the vista, and the sea wind you breathe in as you drive past defenders to drop the pebble into the bucket. That reminds me of cruising – the destinations may be amazing, but the journey is what matters. (Be cautioned, however, that in court, as weird as it may appear, traveling is still deemed a foul.)
No magic spells are required to enjoy a drink concoction at Alchemy Bar®, a one-of-a-kind vintage-themed cocktail "pharmacy"—all you need is a willingness to be surprised and try something new. Bartenders masterfully combine liquor, juices, syrups, spices, and other ingredients to create delectable cocktails. Choose a medicine from the menu, or have a custom elixir created particularly for you, with or without alcohol.
Step into the Havana Bar™ and be transported to antebellum Cuba, maintained today via ancient postcards, vintage literature, and classic foods. Enjoy stunning ocean views while trying something authentically Cuban, such as café Cubano (Cuban coffee!) or handcrafted Cuban cocktails (daiquiris, mojitos, and more). And this place does not cool down as the sun goes down, with music and dancing keeping things scorching far into the night.
Let's go over what we know about the enigmatic RedFrog so far. He's adorable and easygoing. The flavor is everything to the tiny guy. But I only recently learned of the years he spent soaking up the sun among the grass skirts and frangipani flowers of the South Pacific, where, as he says, it's simple to be red. Some of his favorite dishes from those days make up the heart of the menu at the first-ever RedFrog® Tiki Bar – try a Polynesian Punch, a Jungle Bird, or a Red's Rum Jumper. This poolside bar covers two decks and, regardless of where you're sailing, will transport you to the land of Tiki.
When a culinary destination like New Orleans invents flavors, it's not surprising that these inventive creations resonate with thrilled taste buds around the world. So, when it comes to drinks, consider the fruity Hurricane cocktail or the stately Sazerac - for decades, these hometown heroes have served as ambassadors for the city's values of fun, flavor, and simply good times. You know Carnival is all about that, so make sure to visit The Brass Magnolia during Mardi Gras®! You might imagine this aboard bar at the crossroads of two of New Orleans' most enduring icons: the city's legendary jazz scene and its historic Garden District. The swinging jazz trio adds a cultural touch to the experience. It only takes one look at the decor to feel like you've stepped into an opulent Southern house.
If you've had the pleasure of strolling around New Orleans' French Quarter in the evening, you're not alone in believing that mystery and surprises await around every turn. Carnival pays homage to the Crescent City area on Mardi Gras™. A French Quarter zone on a new ship is incomplete without an unassuming bar that feels like it's always been there, hinting at something deeper. This is the ambiance you'll find at Fortune Teller, where anything is possible. The Victorian grandeur and mystery décor evoke a rich history and hint to the magical... The crystal ball reminds us not to forget the wonderful beverages! Fortune Teller's bartenders create unique cocktails such as the all-black New Moon, the color-changing Abracadabra, and the Golden Galaxy. This drink contains a small amount of genuine gold.
Heroes have a special place in our hearts, and we now have a way to honor them! When it comes to military personnel, you can rely on them to take on a critical mission and complete it successfully. At Heroes Tribute™ Bar & Lounge, we honor the sacrifices of Armed Services people and their families, demonstrating our devotion to them. It's also a nice place to get a drink! Everyone is welcome at this bar, so join together and raise a drink for freedom fighters.
Greetings, kampai, l'chaim, mabuhay. With the Cheers! prepaid bar package, you'll be able to toast more often. Bartenders only bring beverages, not bills. Once aboard, sign up and enjoy the convenience of a one-flat rate for drinks throughout your trip — now that's something to toast. (Some exclusions apply.)
Who says good beers should be difficult to find? Not! Carnival-exclusive beers are now available in cans aboard all ships, allowing you to experience your favorite vacation flavors. Some of the popular beers brewed at sea and served at the bar, such as ParchedPig® West Coast IPA, ThirstyFrog® Caribbean Wheat, and ParchedPig® Toasted Amber Ale, are also available in portable pints. These cans are available aboard all Carnival ships, along with several newer brews that you must taste. ThirstyFrog® Piña Colada and ThirstyFrog® Berry Hibiscus are unique canned seltzers that are vodka-based for a cleaner taste and only 99 calories per can. ParchedPig® Beach Lager is perfect for any beach day. Heroes American Pale Ale is available exclusively at aboard breweries. This delicious, tropical homage to military personnel also benefits Operation Homefront, with a $1 donation for each pint poured.
Winning big at the casino is a lot of fun, and the next step is to celebrate with a high-end beverage. The casino bar, conveniently located off the gaming floor, offers a variety of cocktails, beer, and wine, making it ideal for celebrating with loved ones or new acquaintances.
Feeling thirsty at the beer station? Become your bartender and have a cold drink anytime, including lunch and dinner. The Beer Station allows you to fill your mug with ThirstyFrog® Red, a special in-house brew, or fan favorites from back on land.
From the delicate and fruity flavor of the Merlot to the light and dry Sauvignon Blanc, a Cruise the Vineyard package is a must-have for wine enthusiasts. Choose between two packages with options from Italy, New Zealand, France, Germany, California, Washington, Chile, Armenia, and Argentina. Sip and savor your favorites at a reduced price; ask your Dining Room server how.
Joining the Carnival Players Club® is simple, and, best of all, free. If we had the pleasure of hosting, you at one of our onboard casinos, you might already be a member! However, if you are just getting started, here is how it works. Guests 18 and older can join and earn points while playing table games and slots. The more points you collect, the more rewards you'll receive, including complimentary drinks while playing and exclusive invitations to Carnival Premier Cruises and competitions.

And if they don't, it's an opportunity to try again. Carnival casinos are constantly updating their slot machines with new and interesting options. From thrilling slot tournaments with enormous rewards to penny slots—and everything in between—we encourage you to take a spin at sea.
Blackjack is a popular table game that may be played on any sailing ship. Carnival cruises offer Classic Blackjack, as well as exciting new variations including Fun 21™ and Face-Up Blackjack. With cheap buy-ins, you can hit the table and try your luck at large prices.
The onboard casino action may get fierce, but here's the deal: we've got a plan to keep it new.

Best of all, each ticket provides more than one chance to win. Check out all of the excitement in your onboard casino; for further information, go to the casino cashier's desk.
The Mega Deck Party can bring together friendly rivals BlueIguana™ and RedFrog®, so think what it can accomplish for vacationers like you!

And by "everyone," we mean guests of all ages! Make the most of your evening by participating in games, giveaways, line dances, and other activities till late at night.

Keep the theme continuing from head to toe, if possible. We're counting on you to help heat this incredible night of dancing, freebies, fun, and more!
Any cruise can move you, but a Carnival cruise can move you to help a worthy cause such as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®! Come out to Groove For St. Jude — where grooving happens on every cruise — and make a little gift to help research treatments and save children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Give you a t-shirt but remember to bring your dancing shoes since getting down helps generate funds and awareness for children in need.
If you're looking for a reason to rejoice, simply check your calendar. Every Carnival cruise is a celebration, especially during holidays, but they go all out on a few key occasions throughout the year. This makes the ship an ideal place to call home for a while, gathering with friends and family. For starters, Halloween is celebrated throughout October, and costumes at sea are only the beginning. Thanksgiving is a time to enjoy a feast without having to cook. Christmas celebrations are a major matter, blending solemn customs with joyful enjoyment and a large tree. Celebrate New Year's Eve with a big party to end the year and start the new one. The party is not complete without an after-party. Ready to celebrate? Plan your trip around the right dates, and you'll have even more festive fun.
There are two types of humans: land people and sea people. Unless they were born aboard a pirate ship, most people begin their lives on land. And hey, there is nothing wrong with that. However, there is a process to becoming a sea person, and the Caribbean Sailaway Party on your first Carnival cruise is when the metamorphosis begins. It's simple: arrive, enter the club, and enjoy your celebration! (Then, on your second Carnival cruise — because let's be honest, you'll be back — put on your sea legs, find a cruise beginner, and join them in toasting to the good times ahead.)
Mardi Gras will be big business when it sets sail in 2020. Many are ready to relax, but if you're looking for thrills, this is definitely the ship for you!
Ride Mardi Gras and meet BOLT™: The fastest – and the first! — roller coaster of the ocean. Ride high above sea level on a bike-style speed machine on an open-air course.

This means you can control how fast you actually go. Hit the gas and set the fastest time for the ultimate thrill and stunning 360 degree ocean views! And for those who choose to pedal slowly, this might just be the coaster for you I can't!
BOLT has a minimum height of 43 inches and a maximum height of 76 inches.

Speedway Splash features hundreds of meters of racing action and special lighting effects that you can experience on your way to victory.

Above all the chance to master a great challenge...that's what you'd expect from a good high ropes course...but on a great high ropes course you can enjoy all this with cool sea breezes and views.

Here everyone, even children, will be thrill-seekers and will test their ability to navigate the course. The course offers two levels of challenge, increasing or decreasing the difficulty over time. Let's go to the sky... Sky Course, that is.
A comedy club on land... well, it's kind of funny, isn't it? No one likes paying for admission. I'm not kidding! Not even at The Punchliner Comedy Club on Carnival Cruises. On stage there are true professionals who know how to add a little laugh to any evening. You can expect these comedians to resist, too. A few people will stand up and say exactly what they think, so we're planning a family-friendly performance too...so the only red face in the audience was laughing a little too hard.
Tip: Again, Punchliner Comedy Club has shows for families and shows for adults. You can choose which course you want to participate in! Check out the fun times and plan your evening - delivered daily to your stateroom

Sporting events and the latest blockbuster movies can be enjoyed from the comfort of lounge chairs by the pool or even from the pool itself. Think comedy, action & adventure, date night, and more. But don't think that means giving up your usual comforts in the middle of the ocean. It's not just popcorn - who can forget it? – But a blanket! Calm down, cuddle, and try to remember the last time you enjoyed a night at the movies.
If Deck Party has the power to gather friendly rivals BlueIguana and RedFrog, imagine what Mega Deck Party can do for vacationers like you! Have fun under the stars!

There are two types of humans: land people and sea people. Most people are originally land people, unless they were born on a pirate ship or something. Lo and behold, there is nothing wrong with that. But becoming a sailor is a process, and a transformation takes place at the Caribbean Saillaway Party on the first Carnival cruise. It's actually pretty simple: show up..you're in the club and ready to party! Tie your feet up, find a cruise newcomer, and toast to the great times ahead.
You know the game show with the briefcases stuffed full of money, a big red button and a mysterious banker phoning in deals? Yep, you’ve seen it on TV… and now you’ll find it on your next Carnival cruise. When it comes to Deal or No Deal at sea, there are actually TWO ways you could win — and only one of them is reserved for the lucky contestant up on the stage! It works like this: buy a game card (or save money by buying two), and each card you hold gives you another a chance to be randomly selected to take the stage and play the fan-favourite game of eliminating briefcases throughout the rounds for a shot at $1,000. But even if you’re not selected, you’re still in the game — matches on your game card let you move up the prize board. (And up to $5,000 goes to lucky cardholders in the audience!) Of course it’s 18+ to play, but everyone’s welcome to watch the fun from the studio audience. Deal?
