Creator's Key Takeaways

The Black Circus is a versatile entertainment venue used throughout the cruise for a variety of events, including trivia, interactive games, live shows such as Blanc Blanc, comedy performances, and other special entertainment.

The Oasis Retreat offers a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere for guests looking to unwind, soak up the sun, and enjoy a little peace and quiet at sea.

I must say I found these to be some of the better ones I've seen on carnival ships. Here, kids are grouped by age and can enjoy fun-filled age appropriate activities including arts and crafts, songs, games, toys, dancing, movies, and video games.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Use the aft lifts or stairs from deck 7 to easily find Dragon Lady restaurant.
โœ“Stop by the Cloud9 spa on embarkation day for guided tours of treatments and services.
โœ“For a quieter experience, visit the adults-only oasis retreat to escape the main pool deck hustle.
