From sun-up to sunset and well into the night, you'll find a day aboard Carnival Sunrise full of amazing ways to have fun. (Plus, don't forget the amazing destinations to see!) Best of all, at the end of the day... remember that your vacation on Carnival Sunrise features another great one tomorrow. Carnival Sunrise has a history of starting good things... and sharing them with guests.
Carnival Sunrise Ship Activities
- WaterWorks: Wanna splish - and splash - the day away? Head on over to WaterWorks, Carnival's onboard waterpark. First up, there's the Twister Waterslide... Hundreds of feet of spiraling awesomeness that starts you off high in the air and gets you down low with one of the fastest, wettest rides you'll find anywhere. Select ships have side-by-side racing slides, which make serious competition seriously fun. Wear your speed suit for Speedway Splash, which features hundreds of feet of racing action, plus special lighting effects you'll experience on the road to victory.
- Camp Ocean: The little ones can enjoy the best parts of summer camp, year-round aboard their Carnival 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). Together with their group they'll enjoy tons of fun-filled, age-appropriate activities like arts and crafts, songs, games, toys, dancing, movies and video games.
- Circle C: It's the onboard spot where teens ages 12 to 14 go to hang out, meet new friends, and enjoy some pretty awesome activities. Like what? Think dance parties, games, outdoor movies and more, some in the exclusive Circle "C" lounge and others around the ship.
- Sportsquare: Your Carnival cruise may take you far, far away from the competitive daily rat-race, but you'll find an oasis of friendly competition at SportSquare. Take on friends at mini-golf, battle strangers at basketball, or push yourself to new heights at the Ropes Course... or to record-setting low times at the jogging track.
- Ropes Course: The chance to complete an awesome challenge, high above it all... Now that's what you want in a good ropes course. An awesome ropes course, however, will let you do all that with a cool sea breeze and a view to match!
- Build-A-Bear Workshop at Sea: When kids visit the Build-A-Bear Workshop At Sea, they use their little hands and big creativity to bring a new stuffed friend to life. They can customize their furry friend from head to toe by choosing the bear, clothing and accessories.
- Bingo: Get ready to play some crazy-exciting, hoot-and-holler-if-you-win-big bingo! The prizes are bigger, the packages are more fun and there are even souvenir daubers to mark your numbers.
- Mini Golf: Ah, imagine a perfect day out on the links, the golfer's zen of the ball, the hole and nothing in between but well-manicured fairway.
- Games: Play is essential to childhood development - that's what cognitive scientists (fully-grown adults without bedtimes) believe!
Carnival Sunrise Ship Dining
For delicious bites served with that same casual, can-do-fun attitude, look to Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse. Or for something a little more refined, swing by Bonsai Sushi. Fancying things up a little are the Italian classics of Cucina del Capitano, or head over to Steakhouse to enjoy premium cuts that will leave you wanting more.
Guy's Burger Joint
Carnival went looking for someone to help grill up the best burgers at sea, and they found just the guy. Carnival has teamed up with best-selling author, restaurateur and Food Network personality Guy Fieri to bring all the authentic appeal of a roadside burger shack to Guy's Burger Joint, the cool poolside spot for hot burgers and hand-cut fries. Try a fresh-off-the-grill burger Guy's way, or take it off-road to the toppings bar and truly make it your own.
Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que
When the cool ocean breeze hits your nose with the sweet smell of smoke, you know you better follow it to Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse. At this onboard, open-air spot, Guy's doin' his authentic, real-deal barbecue, his way. The Barbecue Hall of Famer is bringin' some big time meats like Championship Pork Butt, Smoked Round of Beef, Smoked Andouille Sausage and his famous Blue Ribbon Chicken as well as rockin' sides like Mac Daddy Mac n' Cheese, Old Skool Potato Salad and Collard Greens. Throw in his signature line of barbecue sauces and you've got a rockin' sea day on deck.
Seafood Shack
A good seafood dish is quite the catch. However you like yours served - whether it's on a roll or a platter - Seafood Shack's the place to cast your net. Imagine a New-England-style seaside spot where you can take it all in, enjoying a great meal complete with a side of ocean view. On a Carnival cruise is where you'll find this shack by the sea, wherever in the world you happen to be!
Lido Marketplace
Featuring an amazing variety of casual dining spots, each just a few flip-flopped steps from the last, Lido Marketplace always has a special something ready to satisfy your latest craving spectacularly. Here Carnival does it with dozens of what-to-eat options... great choices like BBQ, a deli counter, salad bar, an Asian station and a pasta bar... plus one spot where the chef serves up a different surprise daily! At Lido Marketplace, there's tons of indoor and outdoor seating made for gathering around, so you can enjoy your personal faves in your favorite company for lunch or dinner, or even breakfast! Lido's also where you can find soft serve, frozen yogurt and fresh pizza... which so far seems to be enough to satisfy everybody.
Bonsai Sushi
So maybe you've had sushi on a cruise before, but you've never had it like Bonsai Sushi, Carnival's onboard seafood-and-soy-sauce spot. Dine amidst expertly-pruned bonsai trees while enjoying sit-down service and an affordable menu of delectable sushi and sashimi... plus rolls, soups, sides, sakes and desserts. So the next time you're taking an onboard stroll, stop at Bonsai Sushi for a little something satisfying.
JavaBlue Cafe
Maybe you take your coffee straight-up, or perhaps you prefer your pick-me-up with an upgrade. From the simply caffeinated to the simply sublime, nothing satisfies your coffee craving like JavaBlue Cafe, featuring fun twists on the hot and cold drinks you enjoy. While the coffee is the main event here, there's more to JavaBlue - enjoy the baked treats they like to call "comfort snack", which you'll call "delicious!"
Lucky Bowl
From the streets of the Far East comes a cuisine that fuels the rest of the day, satisfying all the way. There, lunch cart culture makes street corners a source of a hot, healthy meal... And now Carnival has imported all this goodness to international waters. For Asian favorites mid-day on Carnival cruises, come see them at Lucky Bowl! Step up, pick your dish, and soon you'll be handed over a bowl featuring a base of crisp veggies, rice or noodles topped with meats freshly smoked, stewed, braised or flash-fried.
BlueIguana Cantina
Nobody knows Mexican dining like a blue iguana. Well, Carnivals' very own blue iguana, at least. That's why it should come as no surprise that the BlueIguana Cantina features freshly made tacos and burritos stuffed specially for your enjoyment. Throw homemade tortillas and salsa into the mix, and you have a casual dining experience that will make you say "mmmm" (which is actually Iguanese for "more, please").
Cucina del Capitano
The iconic red and white checkered tablecloth in your neighborhood Italian trattoria means you're in for a certain kind of dining experience. At a table such as this, who's gathered around is just as important as what's being served, these are the two halves of the experience at Cucina del Capitano. Atop the tablecloth you'll enjoy courses of dishes - antipasti, entrees, pasta and desserts - inspired by Carnival Italian captains' and officers' childhoods. It's all served famiglia-style, because Carnival knows that sharing tales of your day's adventures is best with large plates and great company. Speaking of which, the walls are not only adorned with old snapshots from the crew's family albums, but you might even find the captain dining at his own table in the corner... all evidence that the rustic Italian country-home atmosphere you see is no facade.
Pizzeria del Capitano
On Carnival ships, the captain tends to be kind of a big deal - almost a celebrity. On a few select ships, they've even got their own pizza spot. The best news? Pizzeria del Capitano is open all day, and late into the night... and you're invited. (Pizza 'til 4 a.m.) And since the captains tend to be Italian, you know Carnival is talking prime ingredients. Hand-tossed dough, made from imported Italian flour, plus fresh mozzarella form a solid base, and a choice of toppings put the finishing touches on this piping hot, fresh-from-the-oven mealtime - or snacktime - classic. (Also, try their caesar salad - buono, capisce?)
Steakhouse
Turn your special vacation in the direction of delicious - book a table for an unforgettably delectable evening at the onboard Steakhouse. This menu features mouthwatering premium cuts of beef cooked to your exact specifications, as well as a fantastic selection of seafood, entrees, gourmet appetizers... and even a wine list that got the nod from Wine Spectator. (They actually call it the Award of Excellence.) The Steakhouse's atmosphere pairs remarkably well with, and perhaps even enhances, the culinary creations of the gourmet chefs.
Steakhouse Selections
Whoever said you can't always get what you want certainly never said it on a Carnival cruise. Odds are that something from their steakhouse sounds good - filet mignon, New York Strip, lobster or surf & turf - and you know what? Now you can get these signature steakhouse dishes on your plate anytime you're enjoying dinner in their lively main dining room. Whether you're with friends, have the kids in tow or are just in the mood for something different in a familiar setting, you'll find great options on your dining room menu.
The Chef's Table
Treat your taste buds to the experience of a lifetime, culminating in a sumptuous multicourse dinner hosted by the Master Executive Chef. Your VIP experience starts with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres for a select group of 14, followed by a mind-blowing full-service dinner of amazing appetizers, entrees and desserts not found in regular dining menus.
Dining Room
"Hey, which side does the fork go on?" is a question you'll never have to ask at a dining room dinner aboard a Carnival cruise... Carnival sets the table for you. They also bring to the table a full three courses in an experience that's filling, but never stuffy - after all, you're just as likely to catch waiters table-dancing as you are to order dessert. Dessert's included (along with the rest of your meal, by the way) in your fare. But don't skip straight to dessert, because the main course is the main attraction - drop in daily and enjoy a rotating menu of delectable favorites like steak, roasted duck, scallops and prime rib.
24 Hour Room Service
So you're in the mood for some good eats, but you'd rather stay in your comfy, cozy stateroom? Really, who could blame you? Simply pick up the phone and order something tasty from the extensive room service menus.
And since you get hungry when you get hungry, room service is available any time of the day (or night), and it's always delivered right to your door.
Carnival Sunrise Ship Bars
Who can forget their first taste of RedFrog Pub, with its laid back, not-a-worry-to-be-found atmosphere... plus its exclusive, tasty, not-a-drop-to-be-found (on land, that is) beer, ThirstyFrog Red.
RedFrog Pub
Get into an island state of mind before you even set foot on one. RedFrog Pub is a laid-back, no-worries, oh-so-lively Key West-inspired pub. Sample Caribbean fare, dominate at the foosball table, enjoy some sweet tunes from live musicians and sip tasty signature private-label brew, ThirstyFrog Red. So kick back and feel the island vibe come to life. You'll be a local here before you know it.
Alchemy Bar
No magic spells are required to enjoy a cocktail creation at Alchemy Bar, the unique vintage-themed cocktail "pharmacy" - all you need is a willingness to be surprised, to try something new. Carnival has flipped through dusty old texts to uncover enticing combinations: select spirits, fresh juices, infused syrups, spices... and other tantalizing secrets performed before your very eyes by the true mix-masters: the bartenders. Choose a remedy from the menu, or let them prescribe you a custom elixir just for you, with or without alcohol.
RedFrog Rum Bar
Guests have told Carnival that they hit on something special with the cool Caribbean chill of the RedFrog Pub. Carnival has taken the best parts and brought them poolside with the RedFrog Rum Bar, where the frog keeps the fun hopping day and night with all the island flava you know and love. Join the party at this poolside bar featuring a great selection of frog-approved Caribbean rum-based concoctions available by the glass or pitcher.
BlueIguana Tequila Bar
BlueIguana Tequila Bar is the onboard spot to chill and enjoy a slushy tequila drink or an ice-cold Mexican cerveza. The menu offers up Mexican favorites, including several brands of tequila and a slew of Mexican brews. There's a lineup of frozen concoctions, cocktails and margaritas served by the glass or by the pitcher, and even a special Mexican beer cocktail (yes, really). Where can you find this little slice of Mexican paradise? Next to the pool, of course. So stay cool and take in the bar's vacation vibe while you kick back on your cruise - that's what official bar mascot Blue the Iguana would tell you.
Cheers!
Salud, kampai, l'chaim, mabuhay... however you toast, Carnival makes sure you get to do more of it with Cheers! Bartenders bring you your drinks... but never the bill. Once aboard, sign up and enjoy the ease of one flat price for drinks throughout your cruise - now that's something to raise a glass to. (A few exclusions apply.)
Piano Bar
Play it again, Sam. Or Diana. Or whatever your name is. Because this is the bar where you call the shots...and the tunes. Hey songbird - pull up a seat, order your favorite cocktail and let your friendly piano player know what you'd like to hear. Then join the singalong for a hand-clapping, foot-tapping, finger-snapping good time. Don't feel like flexing your vocal cords? No worries - hummingbirds are welcome here, too. And since the bar's open from the evening until late at night, it's the perfect spot for an early drink or singing 'til the wee hours.
Casino Bar
Winning big in the casino is big fun, and your next stop is celebrating with a top-shelf drink. Located right off the casino floor, the casino bar serves up your favorite cocktails, beer and wine, making this the perfect spot to celebrate with family, friends... and maybe even total strangers.
Cruise the Vineyards
From the soft and fruity flavor of the Merlot to the light and dry Sauvignon Blanc, for those who appreciate wine, a Cruise the Vineyard package is a must. Choose from three packages featuring selections from Italy, New Zealand, France, Australia, Germany, California, Washington and Oregon. Sip and savor favorites at a discounted price - ask your Dining Room server how.
Skybox Sports Bar
Get hands-on with a game, a drink... and high-fives galore! SkyBox Sports Bar gets you right onto the 50-yard line of onboard sports action. Grab a drink or order some snacks - they're great while kicking back and watching your favorite teams on one of the big screens, or just dropping by to check out real-time scores and headlines on the panoramic ticker. 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.
Carnival Sunrise Ship Entertainment
Whether you're indulging in the exceptional array of Lounges and Nightclubs, being dazzled by the Playlist Productions, or bringing in the new day with Live Entertainment, Carnival guarantees your cruise will be worth your while.
- Playlist Productions: Everyone has those perfect songs that never fail to get them moving. Playlist Productions brings lists like yours to life! Your favorites become full-blown musical productions featuring singers and dancers bringing down the house.
- Art Exhibitions: Even if you don't "know" much about art, of course you can still tell when you like something - who needs a refined palette to know when a piece is good?
- The Punchliner Comedy Club: Comedy clubs on land... well, it's kinda funny. Nobody likes paying cover charges, and you know that two-drink minimum? They've gotta be joking! You won't find either of these at The Punchliner Comedy Club aboard your Carnival cruise.
- Dive-In Movies: Ready to see stars? Park yourself in front of the big screen - the really big screen - and settle in for some true stars with Dive-In Movies at Carnival Seaside Theater.
- Deal or No Deal: You know the game show with the briefcases stuffed full of money, a big red button and a mysterious banker phoning in deals? Yep, you've seen it on TV... and now you'll find it on your next Carnival cruise.
- Karaoke: Believe it, you've got a rock star, pop idol or country crooner inside you. Let yours out aboard a Carnival cruise - take the stage and grab the mic because Carnivals ears are waiting.
- Live Music: Want to rock 'n' roll every night and every day? Well, you've come to the right ship. Carnival brings some of the best performers on land out to sea for an ambiance that can't be beat.
- Nightclub: Get up and get down at the most happening' club in the Caribbean. Carnival DJs are spinning today's hottest hits and yesterday's retro jams, guaranteed to get you out of your seat and tapping your feet.
Carnival Sunrise Ship Spa & Fitness
Vacation is usually a good time to hit the gym. And Carnival has a great one to hit. Or, check out Carnivals Spa rooms where the thermostat only has one setting: "perfect."
- Cloud 9 Spa: Sometimes you just need to get away... from all that vacation. Sitting at home, it's hard to imagine that, but trust Carnival - it's really, really nice to have a place to unwind from the day's excitement.
- ZSPA: There's a lot to being a teen - they need to kick back, chill and sometimes even indulge just as much as adults... if not more! Carnival understands them, which is why they've tailored onboard ZSPA treatments to their unique needs.
- Medi-Spa: If you've been thinking about Botox or Dysport treatments, this spa is a good place to do them. These are non-surgical, anti-wrinkle procedures that show results in days, and last for months, so you can keep enjoying the benefits even after you're back home.
- Hair & Beauty Salon: A trip to the salon is an opportunity to relax, chat with others, to focus on yourself. It's about more than just getting your hair or nails done... but it's definitely about getting your hair or nails done!
- Jogging Track: Jogging may not immediately come to mind when you think of things to do at sea, but it probably should. You don't have to walk on water, you just have to get on a Carnival cruise.
- Fitness Center: There's no excuse for leaving your fitness routine back on land. That's great news, however, for your body, which will definitely benefit from all the extra energy that vacationing pumps directly into you.
- Fitness Classes: Whether it's yoga, pilates, indoor cycling or boot camp, there's a fitness class that'll get you the workout you need, and the instruction you need to do it right.
- Acupuncture: Whether you're looking to pinpoint a specific health concern or just searching for a different way to relax, Carnivals onboard, licensed acupuncturist's table is a great place to do it.
