Carnival Pride

This double storey venue hosts Playlist Productions shows, which brings your favourite songs to life in full-blown musical productions featuring singers and dancers bringing down the house. It also presents "Hasbro, The Game Show", the "Love & Marriage Show", and other entertainment options bingo and the "Seuss-A-Palooza Story Time".

Home to the Punchliner Comedy Club shows, this lounge is reminiscent of a 1970s-era club. This hilarious event takes place in the International Lounge, with four comedians, which each usually performs a family-friendly and adults-only set. Be warned that the adult comedy is not for the faint of heart. A bar lines the back wall, where passengers can grab a cocktail before the show starts.

At night, the pool transforms into the ship’s outdoor Seaside Theatre with Dive in Movies. The giant screen allows you to see a movie or sporting events from the comforts of a poolside lounge chair or even from the pool itself. Popular themes include Comedy, Action & Adventure and Date Night. They come with popcorn for everyone and blankets to snuggle up in.

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.

Up on Deck 11, there is a nine-hole mini-golf course surrounding a basketball court. It also has a jogging track that circles the mini-golf course, where just over 15 laps equal approximately one mile. Walkers can take to the outside promenade along Deck 10, where 3.5 laps are equal to one mile.

When it comes to complete relaxation from the inside out, nothing beats a trip to the spa. From the minute you step inside, the soothing ambiance begins to work its magic. Renew yourself with premium beauty and wellness therapies, like hot stone massages, aromatherapy or full-body wraps.

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.

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 very lucrative tournaments.

Cool off while having a blast at WaterWorks, Carnival Pride’s onboard water park. Kids and adults can slide down the two water slides: the Green Thunder and Twister. As one of the faster water slides at sea, Green Thunder provides an adrenaline rush, while the Twister lives up to its name with many spiral turns.

Most Camp Ocean activities take place in the kids' club, which is open from 8 am to 10 pm on port days and 10 am to 10 pm on sea days. The Penguins program (ages two to five) offers little one’s activities like sing-alongs, story time and pyjama parties. Stingrays (ages six to eight) and Sharks (nine to eleven) enjoy more active options as well as plenty of age appropriate activities. 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.

Carnival Pride attracts quite a few families, and its "Seuss at Sea" program with costumed characters and themed-events is a big hit with kids. If you’re a fan of the books, make sure you join the "Seuss a Palooza" parade that kicks off during the sail-away party. Adults need to attend as well, while kids can join Dr. Seuss characters as Paradise sets sail.
