Video games, scavenger hunts, dance parties, sports, pool parties and special shore excursions.

Teens can enjoy the latest music with exclusive dance parties… video gaming and movies from the club's comfy seating, with video monitors all over the place. Outside of the club, activities include pool parties, team sports and special teen-only shore excursions.
Carnival Inspiration
Carnival Inspiration is a Fantasy class cruise ship launched in 1995. Carnival committed $250 million to enriching all eight of our Fantasy-class ships with more features and guest services.
Upgrades include the addition of new lobby bars in the grand atriums, tropical island theme in every main pool area, WaterWorks park, Serenity adult's only retreat, and a resort-style pool. Staterooms have been upgraded with new, flat-screen TVs and restyled bathrooms.
