The Carnival Spirit is a versatile floating resort that seamlessly chases the best weather, currently splitting its seasons between two distinct North American homeports. During the winter and spring, she sails out of Mobile, Alabama, whisking guests away on sun-drenched itineraries to The Bahamas and the Caribbean. Come summer, the ship relocates to Seattle, Washington, offering breathtaking voyages to the glaciers of the Alaskan Inside Passage, alongside occasional extended Carnival Journeys to Hawaii or through the Panama Canal. Onboard, the ship is packed with signature Fun Ship experiences; standout highlights include the thrilling WaterWorks aqua park featuring the steep Green Thunder slide, mouthwatering poolside meals at the fan-favorite Guy's Burger Joint, and the tranquil, complimentary Serenity Adult-Only Retreat for guests looking to kick back and escape the crowds.
