Carnival Liberty

This is the ship's main show lounge, which spans decks three, four and five and has enough seating for 1 400 guests. A lot happens here and it’s very popular with guests. At night they host all the ship’s major stage productions, including dancers, singers, musicians and magicians. It’s a bit quieter during the day, when they offer audience participation game shows, talks, lectures, and bingo games.

This cinema is located on deck ten and has a huge 12' x 22' LED screen where you can watch movies, concerts, cartoons, as well as news and sporting events. It also has a dance floor and music to dance to later in the evening.

The Casino is a large space with a vast array of glittering slot machines as well as a great variety of table games. There is a lively crowd at the casino at any given time and some staff members on hand to help teach beginners the ropes. If you enjoy playing, you should keep an eye out for their lucrative tournaments, which includes nightly cards tournaments such as blackjack or Texas Hold'em.

This decadent spa has all the most popular treatments available such as including aroma stone therapy, full-body and scalp massages, seaweed wraps, mudpacks and various slimming and toning therapies in their private treatment rooms. It also offers men’s options as well as some teen treatments.

The salon is located inside Spa Carnival and features both a salon and traditional barbershop. Look out for its specials at slower times like port days or the last couple days of the cruise.

Here, you can join a class or make use of their state-of-the-art machines, including ellipticals, stationary bikes, treadmills, resistance machines and free weights. Some of their classes are free but others like pilates and yoga are charged per class. Personal training also is available. A great feature of the gym is the chill-out hot tub or whirlpool in the middle of the room, to ease those aching muscles post workout.

If you’re looking for something a bit more active to do outside, head to decks twelve and fourteen where there is a jogging track, basketball and volleyball court, table tennis set, and giant chess set. Nine laps around the wide jogging track equal a mile.

Just because you’re on one of the most exciting cruise ships with all the bells and whistles, doesn’t mean that you can’t simply get away from it all sometimes. This sun deck offers a space that offers peace, quiet, sea breezes, and a nearby bar. It's the place to get done the kind of stuff you just can't seem to do anywhere else: reconnect with your partner, finish that book, or blissfully do nothing at all.

The huge Twister water slide is great fun for the whole family but kids under thirteen need their parent’s permission to use it and need to be at least 42” tall. They do not allow floatation devices or multiple riders on this waterslide.

Countless gallons of water rush through the entire length of this slide, whooshing you along until you splash down in that classic waterslide photo-finish: hands-up, eyes wide and nothing but exhilaration on your face.

Kids can take part in a number of onboard programs, with top features being Camp Ocean and Seuss at Sea, a series of Dr Seuss-inspired activities held throughout the cruise. At Camp Ocean kids will have a blast in supervised, age-based groups and give each a cool marine-life label: Penguins (2 to 5 years), Stingrays (6 to 8 years) and Sharks (9 to 11 years).

The Circle C club on deck four is for younger teens aged 12 to 14, while some events are combined for all teens. The Club O2 on deck four is for older teens aged 15 to 17 and is a social hangout with planned activities.
