Sunrise Dining Room
Settle in for a waiter-served, three-course dinner that is satisfying without any ceremony. Choices can include Pappardelle with Braised Lamb or Coffee Glazed Roast Duck, with the occasional waiter dance at the tables for good measure.
You will find Sunrise aft on Deck 3, with a mezzanine section on Deck 4. Choose Early or Late Dining for a regular table, or Your Time Dining for flexible, first-come seating.
Sunset Dining Room
Settle into a relaxed, waiter-served three-course dinner at Sunset Dining Room on Deck 3. You can tuck into Pappardelle with Braised Lamb, Coffee Glazed Roast Duck or Hawaiian Shrimp Poke, with plant-based choices on the menu too.
Prefer dinner on your own timetable? Choose Your Time Dining for a first-come, first-served table, or select Early or Late Dining for the same table each evening. Check the daily schedule or Carnival HUB App for your sailing's times.
Lido Marketplace
Lido Marketplace on Deck 9 is your casual, pick-what-you-fancy food hall, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with seating indoors or out. Think BBQ, deli favourites, salads, Asian dishes, pasta and fresh pizza.
Leave room for the chef's station, where there is a different surprise each day, plus soft-serve ice cream and frozen yoghurt for a suitably sweet finale. Late-night snacks are also served here, handy when dinner feels like a distant memory.
Guy's Burger Joint
Pool day, burger sorted. Guy's Burger Joint on Deck 9 serves fresh-off-the-grill burgers, hand-cut fries and a toppings bar, all in the relaxed style of a roadside shack.
Try The Ringer, topped with super-melty cheese, barbecue sauce and a crispy spicy onion ring. It is open for lunch until 6:00 pm, though hours can vary by sailing.
BlueIguana Cantina
Poolside on Deck 9, BlueIguana Cantina is your Lido Deck answer to breakfast burritos and a proper lunch. Watch fresh wheat and jalapeño tortillas being made, then choose tacos or build a burrito with the fillings and salsas that take your fancy.
Try chipotle-rubbed chicken, ancho roast pork or seasoned battered fish in a freshly made tortilla. Casual, colourful and conveniently close to the pool, because serious sunbathing requires sensible fuel.
The Chef's Table
For a dinner that comes with a little theatre, join the ship’s Master Executive Chef for an intimate, multi-course evening of creations you will not find on the regular menus. It begins with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, before your meal takes centre stage.
You will also tour the working galley, so wear closed-toe, flat shoes with non-slip soles. Seating is limited, so reserve online after booking your cruise. Guests must be aged 12 or over.
Cucina Del Capitano
Pull up a chair for Italian-American dishes inspired by Carnival’s captains and officers, served in a relaxed Italian country-home setting on Deck 9.
Share antipasti, pasta and mains around the table, perhaps Il Capitano’s Signature Arancini, then round things off with an Italian Coffee. It is open for dinner, and reserving ahead is wise if you have a preferred time.
Jiji Asian Kitchen
Dinner gets more interesting at JiJi Asian Kitchen, where modern pan-Asian cooking is made for sharing. Order several dishes for the table, from Jiaozi pot stickers to Singapore Chili Shrimp, then compare notes over every last bite.
You will find it aft on Deck 9, surrounded by Asian prayer rolls and Mongolian-inspired fabrics. Reservations are not required, but booking ahead gives you the best choice of dining times.
Bonsai Sushi
Settle in for a sit-down Japanese feast on Mezzanine Deck 4, where sushi, sashimi, rolls and bento boxes make a very convincing case for ordering one more plate. The sushi ship for two is made for sharing, assuming you are feeling generous.
You can also tuck into ramen or udon, with beef, chicken or mushrooms, then finish with Tempura Green Tea Ice Cream. It is open for lunch on sea days and dinner until midnight, though onboard hours can vary by sailing.
Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse
When a proper steak is calling, Fahrenheit 555 answers. On Mezzanine Deck 4, you can tuck into USDA Prime beef aged for 28 days and cooked to your exact specifications, from a New York Strip Loin to Surf & Turf.
Seafood, lamb chops and farm chicken give the non steak eaters plenty to consider. Save room for the Chocolate Sphere, then settle in with a French 75. Dinner runs from 5:30pm to 9:30pm, so request your table before you sail.
RedFrog Pub
RedFrog Pub
A laid-back, Key West-inspired pub with an island-style atmosphere, RedFrog Pub is where you can settle in with Caribbean-inspired snacks, a fish-bowl cocktail, or a flight of beer or rum. ThirstyFrog Red is the signature private-label beer.
Find it aft on Deck 5, the Promenade Deck, for foosball and live musicians. It welcomes all ages, though you must be 21 or over to enjoy alcoholic drinks.
RedFrog Rum Bar
RedFrog Rum Bar
Poolside on Lido Deck 9, RedFrog Rum Bar brings a relaxed Caribbean feel to your day in the sunshine. Settle into a deck chair near the main pool with a rum-based cocktail, served by the glass or pitcher, or a ThirstyFrog Red draft beer.
Try Red’s Rum Treasure, a 16-ounce blend of two rums with guava and pineapple flavours. Alcoholic drinks are for guests aged 21+.
BlueIguana Tequila Bar
BlueIguana Tequila Bar
Pool time has a rather good sidekick at this Mexican themed bar beside the Lido Deck pool. You can cool off with a frozen margarita, tequila cocktail or Mexican beer, all with an open-air poolside feel.
Margaritas come by the glass or pitcher, making this a handy stop if your group is settling in for the afternoon. It is for guests aged 21 and over.
Alchemy Bar
Alchemy Bar
A vintage themed cocktail pharmacy on Deck 5 in Ocean Plaza, where your prescription comes in a glass. Choose a listed remedy or tell the bartender what you fancy and let them prescribe a custom cocktail.
Fresh juices, infused syrups and spices give drinks like the Restorative Basil Drop their character, while zero proof libations ensure nobody is left nursing a dull order. This one is for guests aged 21 and over.
Piano Bar
Piano Bar
For an evening that goes from cocktail to chorus, make for Piano Bar 88 on Mezzanine Deck 4, midships. The circular bar takes its cue from piano keys, with the pianist at the centre of the action.
Request a favourite, join the singalong and try the Show Stopper Martini, made with Champagne and strawberries. It is for guests aged 21 and over, and keeps the tunes coming late into the night.
Limelight Lounge
Limelight Lounge
Take your seat at Limelight Lounge, Carnival Sunshine's Punchliner Comedy Club on the Mezzanine, Deck 4 midships. Professional comedians take the stage, with family-friendly shows alongside late-night adult performances for guests aged 18 and over.
The laughs come included, with no cover charge or two-drink minimum. Drinks are available, and you can check the Carnival Hub App or daily Fun Times programme for that day's show times.
Liquid Lounge Theatre
Liquid Lounge Theatre
Take your seat in Liquid Lounge, the multi-purpose theatre on Deck 4, where Playlist Productions brings familiar songs to life with professional singers, dancers and theatrical staging. It is proper evening entertainment, minus the faff.
By day, the space may host activities such as audience-participation game shows, then turn into a dance club at night. Check the HUB app for that day’s line-up, as the programme can vary by sailing.
Cloud 9 Spa
Cloud 9 Spa
Cloud 9 Spa on Deck 10 is your place to slow things down properly. Choose from European-style massages and facials, or spend time in the Thermal Suite, with dry heat in the Laconium and Tepidarium alongside aromatic steam.
It is open from 8:00am to 10:00pm. Thermal Suite access is included with Cloud 9 Spa accommodation, otherwise you can purchase a pass, but spa facilities and body treatments are for guests aged 18 and over.
Serenity Adults-Only Sun Deck
Serenity Adults-Only Sun Deck
When the lively decks have had their moment, Serenity is your adults only outdoor retreat for sea breezes, recliners and a little well-earned peace. Spread across three decks, it even has a waterfall for a rather pleasing change of scenery.
You must be 21 or over to use it. Settle into a hammock, catch up over cocktails from the nearby bar, or give that book the attention it has been patiently waiting for.
Casino
Casino
Try your luck at Sunshine Casino on the Promenade Deck, Deck 5, where penny slots, roulette, craps, poker and blackjack bring a little Las Vegas energy to sea days. Classic Blackjack or Fun 21, the choice is yours.
The Sunshine Casino Bar sits just off the gaming floor for cocktails, beer or wine. You must be 18 or over to play, and under 18s cannot enter the casino. Check the Carnival HUB App once onboard for that day's opening hours.
Seaside Theatre
Seaside Theatre
Poolside cinema, but with a better view than your local multiplex. On Lido Deck 9, midships, Seaside Theater brings recent blockbusters and sporting events to the big screen. Watch from a lounge chair or stay in the pool, depending on how committed you are to lounging.
The programme can include comedy, themed nights and date night viewing, with popcorn and blankets beneath the stars. Check your daily schedule, as film and event times vary by sailing.
Carnival WaterWorks
Carnival WaterWorks
Make a splash on Deck 10 at Carnival WaterWorks, where you can tackle the 334 foot Twister Waterslide, take on the side by side Speedway Splash racers, or let the Power Drencher do its worst.
Prefer a gentler soak? You can cool off in the pools or settle into a hot tub. Check the HUB App for daily opening times, and note that height and weight restrictions apply to the slides.
SportSquare
SportSquare
SportSquare on Deck 11 is where you can swap the sun lounger for a little friendly competition. Take on the jogging track, challenge someone to ping-pong or foosball, or plot your next move over giant chess.
Feeling braver? The Ropes Course adds a lofty twist. Wear closed-toe athletic trainers and suitable workout clothes, and note that height and weight restrictions apply to some attractions.
Rope Course
Rope Course
Fancy a little sea air with your adrenaline? The Ropes Course at SportSquare lets you tackle a high-up course in a safety harness, with sea views and a breeze for moral support.
Choose between two levels of challenge, then pick your route. It is on Deck 11, and you will need closed-toe athletic trainers and workout clothing. Participants must be between 4 feet 4 inches and 6 feet 5 inches tall.
Kids Clubs
Kids Clubs
Your younger cruisers have their own supervised space, with crafts, games, films and video games to keep the good times rolling while you enjoy a little grown-up time.
On Deck 10 aft, Camp Ocean is for ages 2 to 11, while Circle C and Club O2 cater for teens. Register children and teens before they join in. Regular sessions are included, though Night Owls costs extra.
