Creator's Key Takeaways

Carnival is adding a hot tub to the adults only area on Festival and I am here for it.

They've replaced it with something called the Mix Bar, which we have been told will have fun musical themed mixed drinks.

Alchemy makes its appearance. And this time we are seeing a superersized version of Alchemy.

I am excited for that. We have seen this in the spa of most of the other cruise lines we've sailed.
