Creator's Key Takeaways

We've got three nights on Carnival Encounter and we are going to see just how much fun, how many activities we can fit in in three days and night.

The Oasis is the adults only area. It's got its own pool. It's got its own bar and it's a great place to get a little bit of beautiful place to chill out, nice and quiet and relaxing.

Now, a big feature of this ship is the twin slides. There are there are two water slides which go from very high up to really low down, and they're a lot of fun, too.

The shows the shows are the production shows are absolutely superb. The professional, great costumes, great singers.
