For dinner there's smoky Southern barbecue at Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que, sushi at Bonsai Sushi and a polished night out at The Chefs Art Steakhouse. Evenings bring nightly shows in the Encore Main Lounge, custom cocktails at the vintage-themed Alchemy Bar and outdoor movies at Carnival Seaside Theater. On the top deck, WaterWorks has the spiraling Twister Waterslide. Kids and teens have Camp Ocean, Circle C and Club O2, while adults can slip away to Serenity Adult Only Retreat.
