Carnival Inspiration Cruise Ship Tour - Carnival cruise line
English Captions Available!!! Carnival Cruise Line's Carnival Inspiration Overview: All Carnival ships motivate visitors to have an extraordinary time and a significant excursion, yet it won't astound you to discover that the motivation for Carnival Inspiration… was nothing not as much as motivation itself! This present boat's remarkably imaginative soul is anything but difficult to spot, sparkling all here and there the boat, as you journey towards get-away. From the minute you venture into the Grand Atrium, you'll understand that it isn't only a room with a high roof — it's a position of high workmanship. Your supper at one of the two principle lounge areas is more than only a dish before you — it's the aftereffect of our gourmet specialists' culinary innovativeness. Also, the Paris and Candlelight Lounges aren't simply stays with some seats and a phase — they're spots for our entertainers to transport you to somewhere else and time. For roused sustenance, quick, transport yourself to the BlueIguana Cantina, home of crisply stuffed tacos and burritos. On the other hand in case you're more in the burger temperament, attempt Guy's Burger Joint, where they weren't simply enlivened by Guy Fieri… they were planned by the person himself. For the grown-ups, there's RedFrog Rum Bar, BlueIguana Tequila Bar, in addition to the fringe otherworldly Alchemy Bar. What's more, for the child in everybody, there's the really sweet Cherry On Top. Discussing kids, nothing rouses unwinding very like giving them a chance to do their own thing… and that devotion to grown-up chill time depicts the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat to a "T." But when it's an ideal opportunity to rejoin, nothing motivates families to screeches, shouts and sprinkles like a decent waterslide… something the locally available Carnival WaterWorks knows a thing (or two, to be exact) about. The majority of the above, and everything else there is to adore around a Carnival journey — from sustenance to pools to comfortable rooms — live on this boat, one where you can't resist the urge to find that imaginative soul behind all the enjoyment around you. Carnival Staterooms: On a Carnival voyage, your stateroom is your home base. At the point when the day is done, once you've had your fill of fun, you'll head back to your stateroom and settle in for the night. Regardless of which sort of room you pick — whether you're thinking about a basic Interior or Ocean View, or running stupendous with a Balcony or Suite — you'll discover yours an all around named approach to go as the day progressed. Also, whether it's day or night, all staterooms have a room steward on obligation, an orderly you can call for complimentary room administration, and all the more sweet livens inside. Ocean View: Get a look at what's passing by from your Ocean View stateroom on board Carnival Inspiration, where you'll get sees you won't discover anyplace ashore. Try not to miss dawn and nightfall adrift — your comfortable stateroom is the most ideal approach to encounter these!

Carnival Cruise Line’s 2056 passenger, 70,367 gross ton Carnival Inspiration is the sixth in the eight-member Fantasy Class platform of cruise ships. Carnival is the world’s biggest cruise line with a fleet of 24 ships.
Carnival Inspiration was built in 1996 as the Inspiration by the Kvaerner-Masa shipyard near Helsinki, Finland. The yard became Aker Yards Oy in 2005 but since 2008, it has been a part of the STX Europe conglomerate.
Now considered mid-sized, the Inspiration was among the world’s largest cruise ships when it entered service. It is shown here during its maiden visit to Los Angeles in 1996.
At 859.5 by 103.5 feet, the Fantasy Class ships were larger, enhanced versions of Carnival’s first newbuild, the Tropicale of 1982. All Carnival ships boast the line’s signature winged funnel, designed by veteran marine architect Joseph Farcus.
In 2007, the Carnival prefix was added to the names of all the vessels in the fleet. At that same time, the Carnival Inspiration received a multi-million dollar “Evolutions of Fun” refit, which saw the addition of a water park and newly decorated public spaces.
On December 17, 2011, the Carnival Inspiration arrived at Long Beach, Calif., to begin regular three- and four-night cruises to Mexico. Adjacent to the historic, retired ocean liner Queen Mary, the Long Beach Cruise Terminal is housed in a geodesic dome that was originally built to display Howard Hughes’ “Spruce Goose” airplane.
The Carnival Inspiration has 10 passenger decks. As a nod to the company’s roots, all of its ships have an Empress Deck, dating to Carnival’s first ship, the SS Mardi Gras, the former Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Canada.
The ship’s uppermost level is Sun Deck (14), which begins with an open platform that overlooks the bow. An even larger viewing terrace is two decks below, on Verandah Deck, directly above the bridge.
Sun Deck is protected by an angled glass screen and features a cushioned jogging track that actually passes through the base of the radio mast. Eleven laps equals one mile.
The turf-lined City Sports Park on Sun Deck is a nine-hole miniature golf course.
From the aft portion of Sun Deck, there is an excellent view of the Carnival Inspiration’s midships lido and pool area. Most of the ship’s outer deck areas are covered in teak.
Sports Deck (12) is divided into forward and aft sections. The forward portion houses the spa while the aft portion of Sports Deck is an open terrace at the base of the funnel overlooking the pool and lido area.
The circular opening in the funnel draws in air to help push exhausts through either wing and off to the side of the ship.
Here is another view of the Carnival Inspiration’s funnel with the Twister water slide on aft Sports Deck.
Twister is accessed via a tall spiral platform.
Twister riders end up in an open trough of water on aft Verandah Deck (11).
In addition to Twister, the Carnival Inspiration’s water park has a pair of less vertiginous slides called Racers.
Aft Verandah Deck also has a large sunning area atop the stern.
On Lido Deck (10), there are finite, teak-lined promenades on either side.
Midships Lido Deck is home to the ship’s pool, two Jacuzzis and a stage for pool-side events.
A poolside bar with shaded seating is located on each side of the midships Lido.
Serenity is an adults-only terrace on aft Promenade Deck (9) with cushioned loungers that overlook the ship’s wake.
Guests enter Carnival Inspiration via the seven-deck tall Grand Atrium. Topped by a glass skylight, the space is trimmed in red and green neon. This is a view facing forward from its lowest level, Empress Deck (7).
This is a view facing down from the Grand Atrium’s uppermost level, Sports Deck.
The 12,000-square-foot Spa is forward of the Grand Atrium on Sports Deck.
A Relaxation Room is for Spa guests’ use before and after treatments.
Several Spa treatment rooms offer a wide range of massage and skin therapies.
Men and women each have changing areas with their own saunas and steam rooms.
Accessed via the Spa, a well-equipped gym overlooks the bow from Sports Deck.
An aerobics room is immediately aft of the gym and has spinning equipment in addition to plenty of open space for classes and stretching.
The Beauty Salon is located on the starboard side, just aft of the Spa.
Camp Carnival is a children’s playroom on Verandah Deck overlooking the mid-ships lido and pool. Separate areas and activities are coordinated for those aged 2 to 5, 6 to 8 and 9 to 11.
The 722 seat Brasserie is the Carnival Inspiration’s casual buffet-style eatery on Lido Deck. The vivid colors and “tube sprouts” are Carnival architect Joseph Farcus’ playful take on the organic Art Nouveau style.
Off The Grill is adjacent to the Lido Pool on the starboard side of Lido Deck and is the hub for burgers, hot dogs and other grilled fare.
The Mongolian Wok is opposite Off The Grill and is one of the tastiest casual dining options afloat with its wide selection of vegetables, noodles and meats that are stir-fried in a choice of three authentic sauces: Thai Barbeque, Szechuan and Black Bean.
The Carnival Inspiration’s main showroom is the 1,300 seat Paris Lounge. The double-deck room begins a line up of public spaces on Promenade (9) and Atlantic (8) Decks.
A photo gallery follows the Paris Lounge on either side of the Promenade Deck level of the Grand Atrium.
On the port side of the Grand Atrium on Promenade Deck adjacent to the O2 Teen Center, there is a large video arcade.
Formalities is a shop on Promenade Deck that sells candies, cookies and spirits.
The marble-surfaced Boulevard spans the greater length of Promenade Deck. The wide passage links the lion’s share of Carnival Inspiration’s public rooms and is a destination unto itself, with plenty of seating and views through its full-length windows.
The Monte Carlo Casino is located on the port side of Promenade Deck and can accommodate up to 450 guests at a time with its bevy of slots, card and roulette tables. Fiberoptic lighting tubes achieve an Aurora Borealis effect in this space.
The Violins Bar is situated in a nook between the Monte Carlo Casino and the Boulevard.
The Cafe Des Artistes is the ship’s extra-tariff specialty coffee and pastry venue adjacent to the Boulevard.
The Avant-Garde Lounge seats 109 guests. Its decor was inspired by the Cubist movement.
Designer Joseph Farcus painted the three-dimensional Cubist artwork in the Avant-Garde Lounge to “suggest the motion and interaction that can be shared by guests who dance on its Harlequin-patterned granite dance floor."
The Rock and Roll Dance Club is the ship’s bonafide nightclub on Promenade Deck. Video monitors broadcast sports events and music videos.
Pearl-finished guitars with fiber-optic strings are the visual focal points of the Rock and Roll Dance Club.
Accessed via the aft stairtower and the Rock and Roll Dance Club, the Conference Center is located on the port side of Promenade Deck.
The 92-seat Chopin Lounge is at the aft end of the Boulevard. A grand staircase leads down from the center of the lounge to the Carnivale Dining Room.
Decorative elements of the Chopin Lounge include water-bearer statue columns, Corinthian pilasters with high renaissance scrolls and cherubim ceiling murals.
The 541-seat Candlelight Lounge is the ship’s cabaret-style entertainment venue at the aft end of Promenade Deck. Hundreds of decorative fiber-optic candles help illuminate the room.
Located on the port Atlantic Deck level of the Grand Atrium, Circle C is an interactive facility geared for the “tween set”, guests aged 12 to 14 years.
Flanking the port side entrance to the Mardi Gras Dining Room, Rhapsody In Blue is a 92-seat piano bar with broken-edge granite, blue reflecting crystals, Tivoli lights in stepped Deco moldings and stainless-steel musical notes that are intended to transmit the “spirit of George Gershwin’s music.”
In the starboard corner opposite Rhapsody In Blue, the 43-seat Shakespeare Library has been rendered in Elizabethan style with Gothic arches, columns and rusticated walls. The ceiling coffers are inscribed in gold leaf with 25 Shakespearean quotes.
Named for Carnival’s first ship, the midships, 650-seat Mardi Gras Dining Room has a raised central section and full-length windows on either side. Decorative flourishes include stepped cherry-wood panels and polished rosa cardinale marble tiles.
Located at the aft end of Atlantic Deck, the 658-seat Carnivale Dining Room is named for Carnival’s second ship. Handmade Italian fan-shaped seashells in marigold and garnet glass are among its decorative highlights.
The Internet Cafe is on the port Empress Deck (7) entrance to the Grand Atrium.
The reception (shown) and shore excursions desks are on the Empress Deck level of the Grand Atrium.
