Normandie Restaurant
Normandie Restaurant is Carnival Pride’s art deco inspired main dining room, spread across Decks 2 and 3. You can settle in for breakfast, dinner, or SeaDay Brunch when the ship is at sea, with choices such as Eggs Benedict, pancakes and Fried Chicken and Waffles.
Included drinks cover water that is not bottled, lemonade, iced tea and standard coffee or tea. Prefer Your Time Dining? Tables are first come, first served, so you cannot reserve ahead. Specialty coffees and teas carry a charge.
Mermaid's Grille Lido Restaurant
Mermaid’s Grille is your Deck 9 answer to the question, what do you fancy? This casual buffet serves breakfast, lunch and dinner from a pick of stations, with indoor and outdoor seating. Start with a made-to-order omelette, then return later for pizza, deli favourites or a salad.
You can keep it simple with Comfort Kitchen dishes such as macaroni and cheese, or see what is on the rotating Chef’s Choice counter. If self-service is tricky, you can request table service in this area.
Guy's Burger Joint
Poolside lunch, sorted. Guy's Burger Joint on Deck 9 serves fresh-made hamburgers with seasoned French fries, plus a toppings bar so you can build your burger exactly as you like it.
Try The Ringer, with Guy's Bourbon and Brown Sugar BBQ sauce and a Rojo Ring. It is lunch only, typically from around noon until 6 p.m., so make it your post-pool plan.
BlueIguana Cantina
When breakfast or lunch calls for something with a little more swagger, head to this casual Mexican cantina on Deck 9 by the Venus Main Pool. You can watch fresh wheat and jalapeño tortillas being made while you decide.
Go made to order with a chipotle-rubbed chicken taco, or build a burrito with chicken, beef or shrimp, then pile on the salsa, guacamole and all the good bits.
The Chef's Table
This intimate, reservation-only dinner puts you in the capable hands of Carnival’s Master Executive Chef. Begin with a champagne toast or cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, then take a guided look around the working galley before the multi-course meal begins.
Expect specially created appetisers, entrées and desserts that do not appear on the regular menus. Seating is limited, so reserve early. Cruise Casual is the dress code, but closed-toe, flat, non-slip shoes are required for the galley tour.
Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse
When dinner calls for something a little more steak-forward, Fahrenheit 555 answers smartly. Choose premium beef grilled to order, or turn your attention to seafood, gourmet appetisers and a wine list with Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence.
The Cowboy Steak is a proper contender, with Australian Wagyu and lobster bisque also on the menu. Tables are first come, first served, so request yours at least two weeks before you sail.
Bonsai Sushi
Bonsai Sushi has some of the best sushi you will ever have on the high seas. The contemporary décor inspires calm with bonsai trees and the ambiance is cosy yet trendy. This lovely spot offers affordable yet delectable sushi and sashimi as well as rolls, sides, soups, sakes, Kirin beers and desserts.
RedFrog Pub
RedFrog Pub
RedFrog Pub is a laid-back Key West-inspired pub. Here, you can dominate at the foosball table, enjoy some sweet tunes from live musicians and sip their tasty signature private-label brew, ThirstyFrog Red.
SkyBox Sportsbar
SkyBox Sportsbar
This exciting sports bar has a massive bank of TV screens screening live sporting events, and it really comes alive when a major event is scheduled. And if you’re feeling lucky, feel free to grab a controller and get a little competitive with the latest sports game titles. They’re free to play, so find a friend or three and get set for some serious play-action.
RedFrog Rum Bar
RedFrog Rum Bar
With the Caribbean chill of the RedFrog pub moving poolside with this rum bar, it’s a great place to enjoy a drink any time during the day and up to very late at night. Join the party to enjoy their great selection of frog-approved Caribbean rum-based concoctions, which you can buy by the glass or pitcher, plus plenty of Carnival’s signature own draft beer, ThirstyFrog Red.
BlueIguana Tequila Bar
BlueIguana Tequila Bar
This tequila bar is famous for their margaritas, both frozen and on the rocks, in a variety of flavours. You can also grab a beer (or a bucket full), beer cocktail, pitchers of margaritas or spiked lemonade, soft drinks and virgin creations at this poolside outpost.
Alchemy Bar
Alchemy Bar
This quirky bar is a firm Carnival cruise line favourite. It has a fun concept in which the mixologists wear lab coats and create cocktails as prescriptions. They have some fantastic cocktails available and they also hold mixology lessons here, which is well worth attending.
Ivory Piano Bar
Ivory Piano Bar
When the evening calls for a proper sing-along, make for Ivory Piano Bar on the forward section of Atlantic Deck 3. The elevated piano takes centre stage, surrounded by bar seating and plenty of willing backing vocalists.
Live music starts at about 9 p.m. Request a favourite, join in, or simply enjoy a drink and let somebody else tackle the high notes. Check the Carnival Hub schedule for the evening's age policy.
Taj Mahal Main Lounge
Taj Mahal Main Lounge
Carnival Pride’s main theatre is a two-storey show lounge where Playlist Productions brings singers, dancers and musical theatre to the stage. It is all included, and suitable for every age group.
You will find it across Promenade Deck 2, Atlantic Deck 3 and Main Deck 4, with bingo, game shows and story time also on the bill. Seating varies by level, and some views are partially blocked by columns or the upper balcony.
Butterflies Lounge
Butterflies Lounge
Butterflies Lounge brings a low-lit, 1970s club feel to Riviera Deck 1, forward, with booth seating, small tables and butterflies scattered across the ceiling.
Settle in for Punchliner Comedy Club and other scheduled entertainment, then order a cocktail from the bar before or during the show. Comedy is included, while drinks are extra. Check the Carnival Hub App or daily Fun Times for show times.
Seaside Theatre
Seaside Theatre
When the poolside becomes your cinema, you have two excellent viewing options: stretch out on a lounge chair or watch from the water. Carnival Seaside Theater brings recent blockbuster films and sporting events to the big screen in the open air.
Dive-In Movies are suitable for all ages and included in your cruise fare. Check the HUB app onboard for that day's screening times, then settle in for a film with a far better backdrop than your sitting room.
Serenity Adults-Only Sun Deck
Serenity Adults-Only Sun Deck
For guests aged 21 and over, Serenity Adult-Only Retreat is the quieter corner of Carnival Pride, aft on Deck 9. Stretch out on a lounger, take a dip in the salt-water pool or settle into the hot tub with sea breezes doing their bit.
Seating is first come, first served, so arrive early if a half-shell cabana has your name on it. The retreat is included, while drinks from the nearby bar, including an Aperol Spritz, come at an extra cost.
Sports Deck
Sports Deck
This is Deck 11 with a bit more get up and go. Head forward for a nine hole mini golf course wrapped around the basketball court, or take the open air jogging track that circles them both. Just over 15 laps is roughly a mile.
At the aft end, Carnival WaterWorks brings Green Thunder, Twister and children’s water features into the mix. Planning a slide? Green Thunder requires a minimum height of 48 inches, while Twister requires 42 inches. Check the HUB app for that day’s waterslide hours.
Cloud 9 Spa
Cloud 9 Spa
At the forward end of Lido Deck 9, Cloud 9 Spa is where you swap your plans for a proper switch-off. Choose from European-style treatments including facials and massages, with Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage and Aroma Stone Therapy on the menu.
You can also make use of the men’s and women’s saunas and locker rooms. Treatments can be booked before you sail, up to three days before departure, so your relaxation time is not left to chance.
Fitness Centre
Fitness Centre
Keep your routine rolling at this two-level gym at the forward end of Deck 9. You will find treadmills, ellipticals and exercise bikes below, with hand weights and weight machines one deck up.
The Fitness Centre is included and towels are provided. Scheduled classes range from sunrise stretch to indoor cycling, though speciality sessions such as yoga may carry an extra charge. Check the restrictions posted outside before you head in.
Casino
Casino
The Winner’s Club Casino on the Promenade Deck, Deck 2, is where you can take your chances at slots, blackjack, craps, roulette and poker games. A little flutter, a big night out, or simply a front row seat for the drama.
You must be 18 or over to enter and play. Hours vary by itinerary, so check the HUB App on board before you head down and pick your moment.
WaterWorks Water Park
WaterWorks Water Park
Aft on Sports Deck 11, WaterWorks is where you trade your lounger for a proper soaking. Tackle the 214 foot Twister Waterslide, brave Green Thunder’s 34 foot drop, or wait beneath the 150 gallon Power Drencher. There are also three salt water pools, a splash area and a mini racer slide for younger cruisers.
Slides are generally open from 9am until sunset, though the Carnival HUB app has the current schedule. Shower first, leave food and glass containers elsewhere, then make a splash.
Kids Clubs
Kids Clubs
Carnival Youth Programs give younger cruisers their own corner of the ship, from ocean-themed Camp Ocean for ages 2 to 11 on Deck 5, to Circle C and Club O2 for teens. Expect crafts, games, films, karaoke and plenty of new holiday friendships.
Scheduled Camp Ocean sessions are complimentary, while late-night Night Owls carries a charge. Register online before you sail or with Youth Staff on board, as capacity may be limited.
