Restaurants

Golden and Platinum Restaurants

Two waiter served dining rooms, Golden forward and Platinum aft, stretch across Decks 3 and 4. Settle in for full course meals with modern American cooking and international selections, while standard drinks include lemonade, iced tea and non-specialty coffee and tea.

Dinner menus change daily, with rotating dishes, port inspired choices and the occasional rare find, perhaps alligator fritters or escargot. Golden is for Your Time Dining, which is first come, first served, so arrive when you are ready to eat.

image

Lido Marketplace

On Deck 9, Lido Marketplace is your casual, self service food hall for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Choose from barbecue, the deli counter, salad bar, Asian dishes and pasta, then take your pick of indoor or outdoor seating.

Breakfast comes with buffet choices plus made to order omelettes and eggs. There is no published reservation requirement, so it is an easy answer when you fancy plenty of choice without a timetable.

image

BlueIguana Cantina

Poolside on Deck 9, BlueIguana Cantina brings casual Mexican food to breakfast and lunch. Start with huevos rancheros or a breakfast burrito, then return for tacos filled with chicken rubbed with chipotle, ancho roast pork or seasoned battered fish.

Build a burrito your way with a wheat or jalapeño tortilla, plus fillings and toppings from guacamole to roasted corn. No reservation is required, so it is an easy choice when hunger calls.

image

Guy's Burger Joint

Poolside on Deck 9, Guy’s Burger Joint brings roadside burger shack energy to your sea day. Choose a named burger or build your own at the toppings bar, with hand cut fries alongside.

Try the Chilius Maximus, topped with chilli, Donkey Sauce and a crispy spicy onion ring. It is open daily from noon to 6 p.m., so make it your post swim lunch plan.

image

The Chef's Table

This hosted multi course tasting menu is dinner with a backstage pass. Begin with a champagne toast or cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, then tour the working galley before the chef takes you through dishes not usually found on Carnival’s standard menus.

You’ll dine in a private anteroom beside the midship dining room on Deck 3. Wine is served with the meal, but regular bar drinks are extra. Reserve before you sail if it is on your must do list, and note guests must be 12 or over.

Bars and Lounges

image

RedFrog Rum Bar

RedFrog Rum Bar

Poolside on Lido Deck 9, RedFrog Rum Bar brings a relaxed Caribbean island feel to your sea day. Choose rum based drinks, beer and music, then settle in while the poolside buzz does its thing.

Try Red’s Rum Treasure, blending rum with guava, pineapple and nutmeg, or share a pitcher with your travelling companions. ThirstyFrog Red, Carnival’s own draft beer, is also on tap. This venue is for guests aged 21 and over.

image

Ivory Club

Ivory Club

On Atlantic Deck 4, Ivory Club is a 147-seat bar and lounge made for a pre-dinner drink, a spot of dancing and a little classic live music. Settle in with your chosen tipple before the evening gets going.

It can be more than an evening haunt, too. Past programmes have used the space for daytime activities and a Motown Guess That Song session at 7.00pm, so check your daily schedule for what is on.

image

Alchemy Bar

Alchemy Bar

A vintage cocktail pharmacy with considerably better remedies than your average chemist. On Deck 5, the Promenade Deck, mixologists make drinks in front of you using spirits, fresh juices, infused syrups and spices.

Choose a menu favourite such as The Remedy, or ask for a personalised elixir. There are zero-proof libations too, so you can join the ritual without the alcohol. Alcohol is served to guests aged 21 and over.

image

Cinn-A-Bar Piano Bar

Cinn-A-Bar Piano Bar

For a proper sing-along, head aft on the Promenade Deck, Deck 5. Cinn-A-Bar Piano Bar puts a piano at the centre of a crimson-and-amber room, with cocktails on hand and a pianist ready for your requests.

Settle in for the evening, lend your voice to the chorus and enjoy a bar that knows the words better than most people do. The venue runs from evening until late.

image

BlueIguana Tequila Bar

BlueIguana Tequila Bar

Poolside on Deck 9, midship, BlueIguana Tequila Bar brings a Mexican-inspired holiday mood to the Lido pool area. Pick a frozen cocktail, slushy tequila drink, Mexican beer or a margarita by the glass or pitcher.

It is open-air, so you can settle in with your drink and let the poolside atmosphere do the rest. Just note that alcohol is for guests aged 21 and over on US-based itineraries.

image

Kaleidoscope Bar

Kaleidoscope Bar

Just off the Camel Club Casino on Promenade Deck 5, Kaleidoscope Bar is a quieter spot to settle in during the day. Choose from beer, wine or a speciality cocktail, then let the ship do the rest.

Come evening, live music gives the room a little extra rhythm. With seating for 23, it is a sensible place to arrive early if you fancy a seat.

Activities & Entertainment

image

Amber Palace

Amber Palace

Amber Palace is Carnival Glory's three-deck theatre, spreading across decks 3, 4 and 5, with amber-toned details and chandeliers setting the scene.

Take your seat for included Playlist Productions shows, bingo and activities such as Guess That Song. Check the daily programme or HUB app for times, then arrive early if you have your eye on a particular seat.

image

Ebony Cabaret

Ebony Cabaret

Ebony Cabaret is the aft lounge on Promenade Deck 5, where The Punchliner Comedy Club brings stand-up to the stage. Expect family-friendly sets earlier on, plus late-night adult-only shows for comedy with fewer guardrails.

There is no entrance fee or required drink order, though anything from the bar is extra. Check the Carnival Hub App or daily Fun Times for showtimes, as they vary by sailing. Guests under 18 cannot attend late-night shows that may be rated R.

image

Seaside Theatre

Seaside Theatre

On Panorama Deck 10, Carnival Seaside Theater turns pool time into film time. Settle into a poolside lounge chair, or watch from the water itself, as recent blockbuster films light up the big screen.

Sporting events also make the programme, so there is something for film fans and armchair commentators alike. Check the Carnival HUB App or daily schedule for what is showing.

image

Spa

Spa

Spa Carnival is your quiet corner for switching off properly. Choose from hot stone massages, aromatherapy and full body wraps, with saunas and steam facilities also on hand.

You will find spa facilities on Panorama Deck 10 and Deck 11. Treatments are for guests aged 18 and over, and you can reserve before sailing through Manage My Booking, up to three days before departure.

image

Fitness Centre

Fitness Centre

Set in the Aft Spa on Deck 11, this is where you can keep your routine moving, or give it a cheerful holiday rewrite. Life Fitness equipment includes treadmills, cycles, rowing machines, weights and more.

The centre is complimentary to use, with selected classes and personal training at an extra charge. It is generally open 6:00am to 10:00pm, so pack proper trainers, not flip-flops.

image

Camel Club Casino

Camel Club Casino

Try your luck at Carnival Glory’s Vegas style casino on the Promenade Deck, where slot machines sit alongside craps, roulette, blackjack, Caribbean Stud Poker and dealer free poker tables. The old school Egyptian themed columns add a suitably theatrical touch.

New to the tables? Look out for gambling lessons, or join a tournament when one is on the programme. You must be 18 or over to enter or play, and it generally opens after the ship leaves port, so check the HUB App for hours.

image

Kids Clubs

Kids Clubs

Young cruisers get their own sea-day agenda at Kids Clubs, from Camp Ocean for ages 2 to 11 to teen spaces for ages 12 to 17. Camp Ocean is forward on Deck 11, with Penguin, Stingray and Shark themed rooms for crafts, games and discovery.

Older children can head to Circle C or Club O2 for socials, karaoke and video games. Register before you sail or once onboard, as capacity can be limited. Night Owls after the regular programme carries a charge.
