Entertainment on the Carnival Adventure Cruise Ship

This cruise includes the 80s Rock-N-Glow Party, a themed event that brings back everything fun about the decade. It kicks off with a Playlist Productions™ show and moves into an evening of retro excitement. From neon outfits to throwback music, it feels like sailing through time. Big hair is encouraged, and the night includes DJs spinning iconic 80s hits, a dance contest, and even a class to help you learn the moves. It’s all about having fun, 80s style.

The Atrium is your grand entrance to everything the cruise has to offer. It sets the tone right away with open, multi-level views and nonstop energy. There’s always something happening here, live music, DJs, or just people enjoying the moment. Grab a drink at the bar, stop by Guest Services to chat with our fun experts, or take in the scene from every angle. The Atrium is the heart of the ship, and it welcomes you from the moment you step on board.

It’s still basketball, get the ball through the hoop, but on a cruise ship, the game feels different. With the sea breeze in your face and an ocean view behind the basket, every shot is memorable. Whether you're casually shooting hoops or going one-on-one, the fun is in the journey. Just keep in mind: traveling still counts as a foul, even out at sea.

Bingo on board is way more exciting than you might expect. With bigger prizes, fun game formats, and special souvenir daubers, it turns into a real crowd-pleaser. Bring your friends because the more players, the bigger the jackpot, sometimes up to $5,000! Get ready to shout with excitement when your numbers line up, and don’t be surprised if this becomes one of your cruise highlights.
