But if you want to get a work out in late at night you can always visit Sky Fitness which is right outside the basketball court area. The entire court is locked up at this time, so thought I would let any of you know who like to play basketball late at night when the sun goes down. The basketball court closes at 5:30pm every day, but I believe this is mainly because the court is right on top of Cucina Del Capitano, one of the specialty restaurants which starts serving dinner at 6pm. We played pool at 10:30pm one night in the open air of the Sports Square. I liked that the mini golf course already had the golf balls and clubs right there next to the first hole so you don’t have to find an attendant to sign out the necessary equipment. In the Sports Square area there is a ping pong table, two pool tables, and a Foosball table. Not only is the basketball/volleyball/soccer court lager than most on the sea but the ship offers a first at sea ropes course, larger than life chess boards, an outdoors fitness center, and one of the nicest 9 hole mini golf courses I’ve seen on a cruise ship. The Carnival Breeze has one of the most innovative and fun sports decks I’ve seen. You can check out our video of the spa here. The soothing music, fresh lemon water, and gorgeous ocean views in this space made it a great spot to just relax. There is even a very cool rain shower that has all kinds of different scents to freshen up after your time in the thermal suite.Īft of the ship in the spa there is a place you can just relax and cool off whether that is before or after a massage or time in the thermal suite. It’s a great place to read a book, enjoy the view of the ocean out the window or just take a break. It costs $40 per day or $120 for the whole week and gives you complete access to the amazing thalassotherapy pool, 2 steam rooms with aromatherapy, the laconium (which is a scented dry sauna), and a very relaxing setting with heated lounge charis and relaxing music.

I recommend at least trying out the Thermal Suite package.

The staff at the spa was very friendly and not pushy at all.

Services offered include facial treatments, massages, body therapy, acupuncture, medi-spa treatments, teeth whitening (Go Smile), salon services. If you just want to relax on your cruise and get pampered a little, there is no better place than Cloud 9 Spa. We got a tour of the entire spa facility on the very first day and you can check out our video of the spa here. I rode the DrainPipe 4 times in a row on one day that was not very busy at the waterpark, so I guess I’m a big fan of WaterWorks. It’s a great way to cool off on a hot day on the ship and also gives the kids something fun to do for hours at a time. One of the highlights of the waterpark is the 300-gallon bucket that slowly fills up and then tips, dumping all that water at once onto the cruisers young and old alike. Both are a lot of fun to ride, but I liked the DrainPipe the best because you go so much faster and the funnel ending is always a thrill. The Twister is a 312-foot-long water slide and the DrainPipe goes even faster and then dumps you into a large basin. You can’t miss the two waterslides that help make up one of the largest water parks at sea. The main pool deck has a nice open concept and I like how the WaterWorks aqua park is separate from the main pool.Ĭarnival pulled out all the stops with this water park. There is a hot tub on either side and the pool is also right near the 24/7 Pizza Pirate. The Tides pool is aft of the ship and is one of my favorite parts of the ship. The open concept translates to the loungers that surround the pool as well and fan out to offer great seats for watching the LED screen while eating popcorn. This part of the ship is nice and open with two Tiki huts on either side of the pool that offer shade while soaking your feet in the water. The main pool is in the central part of the pool deck right below the huge 270-square-foot LED flat screen that plays nightly movies.

On a couple occasions the temperature of the hot tubs in the Serenity area was not very hot at all and was rather lukewarm. There are 2 more hot tubs in the adult only Serenity area and 2 at the very back of the ship on either side of the tides pool. They do close at 8 or 9pm every night, however. They hang over the side of the ship slightly and are a decent size as well. There are 4 on the promenade deck (deck5), 2 on each side. I counted a total of 8 hot tubs around the ship and that is not counting the thalassotherapy pool.
