Family Fun Activities
Get the action started with one or more of Carnival Sunrise’s amazing activities for kids of all ages:
Zumbini
Kids ages 2 to 5 can move to their own beat at Zumbini, a special 30-minute class featuring music and dancing. Created by Zumba® and BabyFirst™ for the younger set, Zumbini will get their giggles flowing.
Dive-in Movies
Even better than drive-in movies, Dive-in Movies are magical for the entire family. Watch current movies and sporting events poolside on a comfy lounge chair or even from inside the pool. There’s even popcorn!
SportSquare™
Whether you play to win or just for fun, SportSquare has you covered. Choose from a selection of sports such as ping-pong, basketball and volleyball — even a jogging track — all on deck so you can enjoy the fresh ocean air.
Ropes Course
See it all from above on Carnival Sunrise’s challenging ropes course. Navigate this high ropes course along two levels—choose the one you’re comfortable with. Of course, you’re tethered in for safety. All ages are welcome, though there are height and weight restrictions.
ZSpa
From pedicures and fitness classes to hair-styling sessions, ZSpa offers a variety of indulgent and relaxing services designed especially for teens. Created for 13- to 17-year-olds, ZSpa is a place for teens to take it easy and unwind.
WaterWorks™ and Twister Waterslide™
Carnival Sunrise’s onboard WaterWorks features exciting slides and splash zones for the entire family.
Fans of waterslides shouldn’t miss the spiraling Twister Waterslide, which takes you through hundreds of feet of twists and turns from high above the ship. You’ll splash down into a pool on deck, wet and happy.
Video Arcade
No matter the time of day or night, the 24-hour Video Arcade is open for a game of air hockey, a ride on a virtual motorcycle or a turn at a classic video game. Play with a friend or try to beat the high score.
Mini Golf
All ages can try their skill at Mini-Golf. Avoid the windmill and other course challenges, while enjoying the sun and open seas.
Dr. Seuss Activities
Perhaps no other stories and characters have the appeal than those of Dr. Seuss, loved by kids of all ages. Carnival Sunrise caters to its youngest passengers with the wonderful and whimsical Seuss at Sea program.
Seuss-a-palooza Story Time™
Join the interactive Seuss-a-palooza Story Time for live readings of Dr. Seuss favorites, along with appearances by classic, colorful and sometimes silly characters.
Seuss-a-palooza Parade™
Don’t just let the Seuss-a-palooza Parade pass you by. Become a part of the show as you march through the ship alongside some of the most iconic Dr. Seuss characters.
Kids and Youth Programs
Carnival Sunrise also offers a selection of camps and clubs where kids can hang out with other kids and make new friends!
Camp Ocean™ (ages 2 to 11)
At Camp Ocean, kids join the Penguins, Stingrays or Sharks — depending on their age — and engage in age-appropriate activities and fun. Activities range from arts and crafts and singing and dancing to playing video games and watching movies. Kids have all this fun while under the watchful eye of experienced, hands-on counselors.
Circle “C” (ages 12 to 14)®
The Circle “C” club has its own exclusive lounge aboard the Carnival Sunrise, where young teens get to “hang out and chill” while connecting with peers their own age. Along with fun counselors, they also get to watch movies, play games and go on adventures around the ship.
Club O2 (ages 15 to 17)®
Older teens looking for a little independence will find friends and fun at Club O2. They’ll join other teens listening to music, watching movies, competing in sports games, playing video games and maybe even attending the ship’s teen prom!
Night Owls®
On Carnival Sunrise, the fun doesn’t end when the sun sets! While adults choose their nighttime activity, kids ages 6 months to 11 years old can join the Night Owls in supervised parties and games, staying up well past their typical bedtime until as late as 1 a.m.
Family-Friendly Dining
Cruise dining caters to all, from the pickiest eater to the most discerning foodie. This makes mealtime not just delicious, but also stress-free. Family-friendly dining on the Carnival Sunrises includes:
BlueIguana Cantina™
BlueIguana Cantina’s comforting brick and blue décor is the setting for casual, Mexican-inspired breakfast and lunch fare. Build your own burritos and tacos with an unmissable salsa bar!
Cucina Del Capitano®
Cucina Del Capitano is a classic Italian trattoria serving classic, hearty Italian food. Antipasti, arancini, handmade burrata—they’ve even got Nonna’s meatballs! As always, save room for dessert.
Pizzeria Del Capitano
Any time is a good time for pizza, and Pizzeria del Capitano obliges. The pizzeria is open all day, every day, serving up a selection of classic pizza pies.
Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast™
No family cruise is complete without the Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast, a culinary celebration of Dr. Seuss. Choose from a selection of whimsical breakfast meals and dine along with the storybook characters themselves.
