Carnival Encounter
Carnival Encounter offers something for everyone. From thrilling water activities like twin waterslides to serene relaxation zones like the adults only area, Oasis. Or, visit Byron Beach Club, a private retreat featuring a private outdoor pool, whirlpool spas, and seating away from the hustle and bustle of the main deck. There is also an exclusive space just for kids at Club Ocean which features exciting activities based on age groups. Enjoy the evening at one of the many restaurants, with a show under the stars at the Seaside Theater, or dance the night away on one of the top decks at the Altitude Nightclub.
