What to expect from Carnival Radiance
Overview
The warmth of being together — it's just so nice, right? It fact, it inspired us to create Carnival Radiance, to delight folks like you and your closest travel buds. And wouldn't you believe it, Carnival Radiance makes it all happen with a little help from some friends…
For starters, can we just say how excited we are to be tipping things off with the culinary influence of Shaq? This man knows his fried chicken, and in case you have any doubt, every meal we serve at Big Chicken puts the proof on your plate. Still on the taste tip, there's two delicious spots on Carnival Radiance from Mr. Fieri himself: Guy's Burger Joint and Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse. We're not going to apologize for all the bragging about our famous friends. Not when there's so much onboard fun for kids courtesy of Dr. Seuss® favorites like The Cat in the Hat… who you'll meet! And with all the flavor from our own homegrown RedFrog and BlueIguana spots — like tacos, pub grub and great drinks — you'll be thrilled to get acquainted with such colorful creatures. (And the cuddly ones at Build-A-Bear Workshop® At Sea!)
Big names aren't all there is to know about Carnival Radiance. There's amazing entertainment up on stage at Playlist Productions™, so many chances to be a champion at SportSquare™ featuring our Ropes Course, and potentially unlimited relaxation potential for grown-ups at Serenity™ Adult-Only Retreat. Plus the adults have plenty of spots for a drink, like the fan-favorite Alchemy Bar™ and Heroes Tribute™ Bar, which refreshes everyone while paying tribute to men and women of the military. For the kids, don't worry — there's three youth spaces where you can hang out with others your age, plus we've got real Zumbini™ classes for the even-littler ones.
But since we're talking together-time, your whole bunch will never run out of stuff to do on Carnival Radiance! Let's highlight some of the togetherest: Dive-In Movies™ screens flicks everybody loves poolside, while at mini-golf you're always guaranteed to sink a hole-in-some… and really, who doesn't love select family-friendly comedy shows at Punchliner™ Comedy Club?
We're so excited about Carnival Radiance bringing all this fun together… emphasis on the “together.” (And the fun!) So come join us!

Gratuities
It is customary for our guests to extend gratuities to the shipboard staff in appreciation for their hard work and exceptional service. 100% of your gratuities are distributed to the crew who you interact with, such as your stateroom attendants, dining and culinary services staff, as well as other members of the onboard team who work behind the scenes to enhance your overall cruise experience. Applying this charge automatically streamlines the recognition process and ensures our crew will share in your generosity.
To help you plan, we have provided the recommended onboard gratuities guidelines.
- Standard Staterooms: $16.00 USD per person, per day
- Suite Staterooms: $18.00 USD per person, per day
You may pay this daily gratuity in two different ways:
Pre-Pay
Gratuities can be added at the time of booking or anytime up to the sail date. Guests who booked directly with Carnival may add their pre-paid gratuities on Carnival.com. If a guest booked with a travel agent, they may contact their travel professional to add pre-paid gratuities to their booking. Prepaid gratuities are reflected in the 'Miscellaneous Charge' field on the confirmation and in the guest's E-Documents.
Sail & Sign®
If guests have not pre-paid their gratuities, the recommended, per person, amount will be posted to their Sail & Sign account on the second to last day of the cruise. Should a guest not be satisfied with the service they receive, they can contact the Guest Services desk while on board. This will allow us to address their concerns in a timely and appropriate fashion. At the discretion of the guest, gratuities may be adjusted after they have been posted on the guest's account, while on board. Gratuities, as posted on a guest's Sail & Sign account, will be considered final after a guest disembarks and no changes will be made after the cruise.
Additional Information
- Gratuities are assessed on all guests, with the exception of children under the age of 2.
- Gratuities apply regardless of the dining options selected, such as eating at the casual dining restaurant or open seating dining.
- For beverage purchases, an 18% service charge will be added to the bill.
- An 18% service charge will be added to the reservation fee the Chef’s Table and Bonsai Teppanyaki as well as the nominal à la carte fee at Bonsai Sushi, Emeril’s Bistro, Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse | Brewhouse and Seafood Shack; additional gratuities can be added at the guest's discretion.
