    Those looking for ways to get their blood pumping are rarely disappointed aboard a Carnival cruise ship. Daring duos can have some serious fun at sea riding twisty-wet slides at WaterWorks<\/a>\u2122<\/u>, playing dodgeball on trampolines at Sky Zone<\/a>\u2122<\/u> and pedaling carts suspended high above the sea on SkyRide<\/a>\u00ae<\/sup><\/u>.<\/p>\n

An array of bars and lounges like Alchemy Bar<\/a>\u2122<\/u> and RedFrog Pub and Brewery<\/a>\u2122<\/u> offer couples a chance to relax and sip on adult beverages. For a more festive ambiance, the Mega Deck Party<\/a> at the Lido Deck Pool features live music, food and tropical cocktails.<\/p>\n

    \nCruise Cuisine Tickles the Taste Buds<\/strong><\/p>\n

    When tummies start to grumble, there’s something to satisfy every traveler onboard a Carnival cruise ship. Pairs looking for a casual lunch can stop in to Shaq’s Big Chicken<\/a>\u2122<\/u> for a fried chicken basket and a side of jalapeno slaw or head to Guy’s Burger Joint<\/a> for a big, juicy burger with hand-cut fries. At BlueIguana Cantina<\/a>\u2122<\/u>, cruisers enjoy lunch their own way with build-your-own tacos and burritos featuring house-made tortillas and fresh salsa.<\/p>\n

    Dinnertime offers couples the chance to get gussied up and enjoy dining in style. For authentic trattoria-style dishes, Cucina Del Capitano<\/a>\u00ae<\/sup><\/u> offers a taste of Italy with appetizers like antipasti and hand-made meatballs and mouthwatering entrees like grilled shrimp with pappardelle pasta.<\/p>\n

    For additional delicious dinner options, Steakhouse<\/a> serves up an assortment of savory beef and seafood dishes, and Ji Ji Asian Kitchen<\/a>\u00ae<\/sup><\/u> tickles the palette with global cuisine like Singapore chili shrimp and Kung Pao chicken.<\/p>\n

    Vacationers Do Things on Cruises They Might Not Do at Home<\/strong><\/p>\n

    A cruise presents passengers of all ages an opportunity for engaging in special activities like mixology competitions, bingo<\/a> games and art exhibitions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Talented duos that enjoy taking center stage always have a good time singing karaoke or competing in a spirited Lip Sync Battle<\/a>\u2122<\/u>.<\/p>\n

    Couples Can Stay Healthy and Fit on a Cruise<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Vacation doesn’t mean having to give up on a healthy lifestyle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Carnival offers amenities for fun and fitness like SportSquare<\/a>\u2122 featuring convertible courts for soccer and volleyball, elliptical machines, punching bags, a jogging track and much more. Indoors, the fitness center<\/a> provides the latest in treadmills and weight-lifting equipment, and couples who like group exercise can find a stellar lineup of yoga, Pilates, boot camp or spinning classes.<\/p>\n

    When the weather is extra-warm, inviting outdoor pools<\/a> offer relief in the form of soaking and splashing.<\/p>\n

    Cruises Deliver Breathtaking Scenic Beauty<\/strong><\/p>\n

    On a cruise, the opportunities for natural beauty are endless. From a stateroom<\/a> window or the ship’s deck, travelers can watch the sun setting or rising over the ocean. Caribbean<\/a> and Hawaiian<\/a> ports of call offer picture-perfect views of the sea, sand, palm trees, rain forests, mountains and waterfalls.<\/p>\n

    For a destination of a different sort, a cruise to Alaska<\/a> promises glimpses of glaciers, fjords, forests, lakes and meadows and a cruise from New England to Canada<\/a> delivers images of lighthouses, historic harbors and charming seaside villages.<\/p>\n

    Shore Excursions Create Long-Lasting Memories<\/strong><\/p>\n

    When couples are seeking out cruise tips for their first voyage<\/a>, experienced travelers often recommend booking a group of shore excursions<\/a>. Vacationers looking for memorable adventures can find their happy place exploring ancient cities<\/a>, shopping at outdoor markets, touring beautiful port cities via bicycle<\/a> and tasting local cuisine.<\/p>\n

    To satisfy a sweet tooth, the Caribbean Cacao Experience<\/a> allows Costa Rican travelers to learn all about cacao beans and get hands on with preparing (and sampling) local chocolate.<\/p>\n

    For action-packed excursions, activities like snorkeling, kayaking, zip lining and horseback riding offer day-long excitement. Outdoor enthusiasts looking for the ultimate thrill enjoy sea trek helmet diving in St. Maarten<\/a> or Belize<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Options for Romance are Endless<\/strong><\/p>\n

    When it comes to romance, few vacations deliver like a cruise. While some traveling couples enjoy stargazing from the ship’s deck with a glass of fine wine, others find their bliss at Cloud 9 Spa<\/a> with a couple’s massage featuring seaweed or hot stones.<\/p>\n
