The fun on a carnival cruise line holiday begins  on deck and it often centers around the pool area - from the poolside snack service to the twists and turns of the water slide. Of course the now traditional “belly-flop” pool contest is worth watching.

Some of the Carnival Ships have a retractable cover over the pool area so you can enjoy it year round. If you like water activities in a calmer way, check in at the luxurious Nautica Spa or Spa Carnival for quiet enjoyment in the steam room or whirlpool during your carnival cruise line holiday.   Whether you stay for a massage and facial or work off lunch in the well-equipped fitness center, the spa is a kid-free zone, a most welcome retreat!

Even if you're not sporty, they have plenty of space devoted to more leisurely activities, and a good shopping mall too.

Where Do You Want To Go?

One of the greatest advantages to sailing with a large cruise line like Royal Caribbean Cruises is the large number of choices that you have in destinations and itineraries. Since Royal Caribbean cruises visit just about any port you can think of, cruising has become a year-round hobby for many travelers. You can visit the glaciers of Alaska during the summer months, the glorious fall foliage in New England during fall, and head down to the tropical climates of the Caribbean or South America when the snow begins to fly in the United States. There are also more distant destinations to choose from, like Asia, Europe and Australia. Of course, beach vacations are always in vogue, and why not? With choices like Bermuda, Hawaii and Mexico, you can always find a beach ready for relaxing. Read more
