Carnival Inspiration

Onboard the Carnival Inspiration

Costco Member Reviews

Carnival Inspiration’s creative spirit sparkles throughout the ship. The Grand Atrium isn’t just a room with a high ceiling — it’s a place of high art. Dinner at one of the two main dining rooms is more than just a delicious dish — it’s the result of the chefs’ culinary creativity. And the Paris and Candlelight Lounges aren’t just seats and a stage — they’re spots for world-class performers to transport you to another place and time. For inspired food, transport yourself to the BlueIguana Cantina, home of freshly stuffed tacos and burritos. If you fancy a celebrity chef-designed burger, try Guy’s Burger Joint. Quench your cocktail thirst at RedFrog Rum Bar, BlueIguana Tequila Bar and the borderline-magical Alchemy Bar. For the kid in everyone, there’s the truly sweet Cherry On Top. Nothing inspires squeals of delight like a good waterslide – something Carnival WaterWorks knows a thing or two about. And adults will be inspired to forget their cares at Serenity Adult-Only Retreat. Aboard Carnival Inspiration, you can’t help but find your creative spirit.
