Sister ship to the Carnival Sunshine, this megaliner boasts an outdoor entertainment area that's three football fields long. Among its features: several pools, Jacuzzis, a 214-foot spiral waterslide, shaded bars, cafe tables, stages, an outdoor movie screen, a dance floor and, of course, plenty of room for sunning. There's a three-level theater for Vegas-style shows and a club that features cabaret acts. Stop in at the Vienna Café for a cappuccino, catch up with your favorite team at the Sports Bar or have an after-dinner drink and cigar at the Oxford Bar. For kids, there's Children's World (an expanded Camp Carnival) and the cavernlike Underground Tokyo video arcade. Dining options include two traditional dining rooms, the bistro-style South Club Restaurant and the poolside 24-hour pizzeria and grill. Sixty percent of this ship's outside cabins have verandas.
