Carnival Cruise Line
General

In a nutshell... we're all about fun vacations at sea and ashore! A Carnival cruise features day and nighttime entertainment like stage shows, musical performances, deck parties, casinos and more. (Like what? Like waterslides!) We invite our guests to come as they are, and we make everyone feel right at home with comfy staterooms, attentive service, casual and elegant dining, plus a variety of bars and gathering places indoors and out. Guests enjoy this unique experience against the backdrop of some of the world's most beautiful seaports.

Our 26 ships operate 3- to 24-day voyages, departing from every coast in the U.S., as well as Canada, Puerto Rico and Barbados. While we're best known for Caribbean cruises, we sail to other exotic and amazing destinations like Mexico, Alaska, The Bahamas, Europe, Hawaii and the Far East. Additionally, Carnival Cruise Line Australia now has three ships, and offers cruises from Sydney and Melbourne to New Zealand, the Pacific Islands and Singapore.

Carnival Cruise Line proudly supports important causes like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Ship
Z- OLD- Carnival Ecstasy
Overview

Carnival Ecstasy has the experience under her belt to ensure that you have an amazing cruise. (And at over 850 feet long, that would be some belt!) That's not all she has, either. For starters, the bright lights of the grand atrium will remind you of the big city... and that you're not on just any ship.

You're on a ship that features great fun for the kids with our range of supervised youth activities for cruisers 2-17... including Seuss at Sea. You're on a ship with plenty for the adults to do - sit back and chill at the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat and our rather relaxing spa, or sip back something chilled at RedFrog Rum Bar and BlueIguana Tequila Bar. For a different sort of cocktail, check out the menu at Alchemy Bar... or maybe just ask the friendly mix-master in the white coat what they'd prescribe.

But let's not forget that, most of all, you're on a ship that everyone can enjoy! There's Carnival WaterWorks for those who've just gotta make a splash, Punchliner Comedy Club for the not-so-easily-amused, Playlist Productions for anyone who appreciates a good song-and-dance revue, and Hasbro, The Game Show for those who take their fierce competition with a soft side of fun. Speaking of fun and competition, there's Lip Sync Battle: Carnival, so bring your moves and hit the stage. If we're talking food - and yeah, let's talk food! - we've got Guy's Burger Joint (Guy Fieri, that is) and BlueIguana Cantina (tacos and burritos, that is) serving up casual bites throughout the day, and Cherry on Top to hit the sweet notes between meals, after meals... or whenever.

So - young or old, no difference - as long as you have a healthy appetite for fun, there's reason to get excited about a cruise aboard Carnival Ecstasy.

New Providence island, Nassau has an attractive harbour, a colourful blend of old world and colonial architecture and a busy port.
