The snorkeling is amazing with the wrecks and reefs that have since grown on them.

And Fahrenheit 555 ™ can be found not only at the height of elegant dining, but at the actual apex of the ship. If you like your fun to flow, there are options aplenty. If you list “splishing” and “splashing” among your favorite things to do, there’s Carnival WaterWorks ™ . Those into sitting and sliding are invited to try the all-new Green Lightning thrill-slide. How about floating or swimming around? Carnival Splendor has pools all over the place, including the midship pool featuring a retractable roof that makes any day a pool day. So whether you splish or splash, you’ll find hydro-excitement galore. If relaxation is your thing, Serenity Adult-Only Retreat ™ is more your place. Or if you’re looking to take relaxation to the extreme, direct your attention to the Cloud 9 Spa ™ , featuring more (and better) ways to kick back than just about anywhere else, on land or at sea.
