Carnival Venezia Ship Activities

Enjoy the new activities onboard and the classics you already know. Head on over to WaterWorks, Carnival's onboard waterpark, watch a movie with an amazing view, have fun with a lot of games... and if you want to beat your fears, go to the Ropes Course and take the sky. Oh, and get ready for the night, you'll want to shake your body with the music you love.

• Bingo: With more ways to win than ever before, bingo on a cruise ship is like no other. 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, so bring your friends because the more people who play, the more money there is up for grabs.
• WaterWorks: 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. 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. DrainPipe ends with one major swirl of a finish, while PowerDrencher takes soaking seriously - imagine the biggest bucket of water you've ever seen, raining down on you from above.
• Nightclub: DJs are spinning today's hottest hits and yesterday's retro jams, guaranteed to get you out of your seat and tapping your feet.
• 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. From the comfort of your poolside lounge chair you'll enjoy sporting events and recent blockbuster films.
• Atrium: Here's where you come in! The Atrium - the entrance to the ship and to vacation itself - is your first impression of all the fun to come. There's always music playing here, whether it's a live band or a party-pumping DJ, plus enjoy events throughout the day or a drink at the bar, anytime. This 360-degree funspot is also home to the Guest Services desk.
• Mega Deck Party: Show up to the open-air Lido Deck pool area ready to have a good time under the stars. The ship's DJ, cruise director and entertainment staff will be on-hand to get things going...and keep everyone moving. And when we say "everyone," that means guests of all ages are welcome at this party! Make the most of your evening with games, giveaways, line dances - and more - well into the night.
• Art Games: Art is full of emotion, and as your Carnival ship sails, you'll have the chance to experience art truly in motion... during lively onboard art games! Nobody would mistake this vacation for a "still life" - these action-packed competitions truly "pop", giving you a chance to try your hand at "impressionism" - showing what you know about the dollars and cents of art valuation. But leave your dollars and cents in your pocket - it's always free to play.
• Art Auctions: Unlike a stodgy auction house, your vacation features a series of auction events designed to turn high art into high fun. From the rapid-fire "Lightning" action to the cheap thrills of the "under $500" event, there are plenty of chances to try your hand at bringing home something great and have a blast doing it.
• Master the Martini: Life's more interesting shaken, stirred, or served with a twist. This tasting lets you choose any four flavored mini martinis, all made with premium Absolut Vodka, at a price that's as smooth as the drinks.
• Video Arcade: Challenge your friends to a game, or just see if you can beat the top score. After all, with the video arcade open 24 hours and an entire cruise ahead of you, you have plenty of time to try.
• Pools: POOL DAY! Whether today's the day for a bit of a dip, a dash of splash or even some swimming - or just a serious poolside lounging session - your Carnival cruise has just the pool for you.
• Games: From physical challenges to scavenger hunts to the very appropriate Battle of the Ages - the trivia game that actually pits kids against adults, Carnival puts the "all" in "fun for all."
• Slots: The wild unpredictability of the spin - those hopeful, breathless moments spent awaiting the outcome. It's a triumph when things line up... and when they don't, it's an opportunity to give it another go.
• Poker: You know poker. One of the most popular casino games, it's all about holding onto some cards and letting other ones go. If that sounds simple enough, you'll want to check out the collection of onboard poker games.
• Dr. Seuss Bookville: The room is all decked out in bright colors, featuring fun and whimsical furniture and even has some of your all-time favorite Dr. Seuss characters on the walls. But let's not forget that this space is all about the books - the shelves are filled to the brim for hours of fun reading.
• Ropes Course: The chance to complete an awesome challenge, high above it all...now that's what you want in a good ropes course. Here everyone - even kids - become thrill-seekers, testing their ability to make their way around the course, which features two levels of challenge, letting you increase or decrease the toughness as you go. So take to the sky!

Carnival Venezia Ship Entertainment

Hey there... Do you have a plan for the day? Onboard there are a lot of different things to do and have a fun time. You can go to a show, the kids can explore the cosmos at sea, or have a good time laughing at the Comedy Club. Your vacations have never been this entertaining.

• 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.
• The Punchliner Comedy Club: Up on stage you will find some real pros who know how to wedge a little laughter into anyone's evening. You can count on these comedians to not hold back either. Since some of them get up and say exactly what's on their mind, there are also family-friendly performances, so the only red faces in the audience are from laughing a little too hard.
• Space Cruises: For cruisers aged 2 - 11, there's a new vacation experience called Space Cruisers, which introduces kids at Camp Ocean to the wonder of space exploration. This is possible thanks to Carnival's partnership with Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, so budding astronomy fans can enjoy the authenticity of NASA-inspired activities to help them blast off to a love of the cosmos.
• Seuss-a-palooza Story Time: Watch as your favorite stories come to life in a setting that's as one-of-a-kind as the Dr. Seuss classics themselves. But don't just take this one sitting down - as an audience member, you'll find chances to interact as the story unfolds... and perhaps even become a part of the story, yourself! Also, be sure to keep an eye open for unexpected, delightfully costumed guests who may very well be stopping by to make a special appearance.
• 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.
• 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. Chances are you'll find a live performance on board that gets your hands clapping and toes tapping. And for the ultimate concert experience at sea.
• Scratch-Offs: Pack your luckiest scratching coin and go to town on a ticket... or a whole stack. There are a bunch of games to choose from, prizes go all the way up to $100,000...and like the pros know, each ticket offers more than one way to win.
• 80s Night: Your cruise features 80s Night, so when the sun goes down you know things are gonna get bad... bad meaning good! Wear your hair big and enjoy this journey to the max with DJs spinning some righteous tunes from the heyday of music videos, one illin' 80s dance contest, plus a class to totally teach you how to bust a move. Rad!
• Karaoke: 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 everybody's ears are waiting. Your moment in the spotlight is here.

Carnival Venezia Ship Spa & Fitness

After a long day of activities and having fun day and night, sometimes it's necessary to find a good place to relax. Onboard there are many places where you can have a good time for yourself or if your way to relax is doing exercise, try to jog with a breathtaking view.

• Massage: Oh, the spa, the place where they do these amazing massages by hand. But they don't just stop there - they've got tools to enhance the benefits too. Select from different hands-on experiences featuring seaweed for detox, herbal poultice for energy, bamboo for deep tissue penetration and hot stones for perfection.
• Facial Treatments: Your face is the first thing the world sees, and while a nice smile can make a world of difference, one of the best ways to put a smile on your face is with a nice, refreshing facial. Of course, there's more to it than just feeling great...post-facial, your rejuvenated skin will also be looking its best, so there's definitely substance behind the good looks you'll be catching glimpses of in all the mirrors you pass. Whichever facial option you go for, you'll be treated to a luxuriously enhancing experience .
• 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. ZSPA keeps teens looking their best from head to toe, with everything from trendy hairstyles to pedicures.
• Hair & Beauty Salon: A trip to the salon is an opportunity to relax, to chat with others, to focus on yourself. It's about more than just getting your hair or nails done. Even though you're on vacation, you won't have to settle for anything less than the salon style you're used to back on land. And these good looks go beyond the usual.
• Men's Spa Services: Hey man, been to the spa lately? You can actually enjoy a lot of stuff plus manly services like razor-close barbershop-style shaves - pair one with a facial to really get a good thing going up top. Speaking of the barber, a cruise is a great time to rock a whole new hairstyle, a quick grey-hair darkening, or even just a fresh trim. And what guy wouldn't go for a little extra relaxation with a massage?
• Cloud 9: Sometimes you just need to get away... from all that vacation. Escape to a world designed, from the ground up, for relaxation. Cloud 9 Spa staff are masters (or, maybe more like artists) trained in the craft of simply helping you chill. What's their secret? Massages, facials, body wraps, thermal suites and more.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Fitness Center: Your body will definitely benefit from all the extra energy that vacationing pumps directly into you. And let's not forget the extra time you'll have since you won't be waking up and spending most of the day at the office or anything like that.
• 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. After all, if you're going to jog, you'd be hard-pressed to find a place to do it with a more scenic view, or a more refreshing breeze.
• 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 a well-manicured fairway... plus one cactus, a treasure chest... a windmill in the way... and more obstacles so you can enjoy a little challenge while you play!
• Basketball: Here, it's all about the journey to the hoop: the view and the sea breeze you take in as you drive your way past defenders to put the rock in the bucket. Say, that actually reminds us of cruising - the destinations may rock, but it's all about getting there.
• 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 to record-setting low times at the jogging track. SportSquare gets you in the game with soccer and volleyball (the b-ball court converts!), brings pool, foosball and ping-pong to the table, and rounds things out for shaping up with your choice of stationary bikes, elliptical machines, weight-lifting equipment and punching bags. Are you game?
