Carnival Breeze

Cool off while having a blast at WaterWorks, Carnival Breeze's onboard water park. Kids and adults can slide down the Twister and Drainpipe water slides, each about 300 feet long, as well as enjoying the park's other water rides. Keep in mind that there are height and weight restrictions for these fast-flowing rides.

Deck 12 has Ping-Pong, a miniature golf course, basketball court and outdoor area with punching bags and exercise machines.

Skycourse is a thrilling suspended ropes course on Deck 12, in which users negotiate obstacles while in a safety harness. The course features two levels of challenge, and you can increase or decrease the toughness as you go. Please note that participants must be 48 inches tall to take part.

The Serenity Adult Only Retreat is the perfect place for adults to blissfully spend some time doing nothing. This is one of the few places on board you will get a reprieve from all the action, excitement, and yes, the kids, on board the cruise.

While other cruise lines charge for their adult only areas, Carnival offers this space for free. This does however mean that the sun loungers are very much in demand as they are given out on a first-come, first-served space for any passenger 21 years or older. You may want to arrive early to get a good lounger or hammock so you can spend the rest of your day catching up on that book or working on your tan.

The casino can be found midship on deck five and operates on either cash or your sail and sign cards.

You can either enjoy a drink there or grab some snacks from the nearby Ocean Plaza.

The spa is a split-level venue located on decks twelve and fourteen. You can go there for a whole range of treatments including hot-stone massages, acupuncture, body sculpting, and several types of facials. A good tip is to go here on port days as they run several specials when they're not so busy. They also have some teen treatments available. If you just want to relax, head to deck fourteen for their relaxation room, treatment rooms, thalassotherapy pool, and beauty salon.

Deck twelve is the fitness centre area where you can join a class or make use of their state-of-the-art fitness equipment. Some of their classes are free but others like pilates and yoga are charged per class.
