Please note the following policies, rules and restrictions for using the pools, waterslides, spray parks and hot tub spas on board our ships. 

Pools
Pools are generally open 8:00am to midnight; hours may vary and are listed in the HUB App.

Pool Safety
Carnival Cruise Line® is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for all of our guests in all aspects of their cruise experience. This includes pool safety, which we have always taken very seriously.

Vigilance and awareness is clearly proven to be the best means for ensuring safety when using water facilities such as pools and waterparks and everyone, including parents and employees, share in that responsibility.  To that end, we have made and will continue to make significant investments in training our employees through highly respected water safety training organizations on water safety, CPR and first aid as well as being prepared to initiate proactive intervention if necessary. All ships in the Carnival fleet provide complimentary swim life vests for use in ship pools.
