Will Aussies dive into Carnival's movie concept?

Carnival Spirit is set to make a splash when it returns from a major dry dock in August with Dive-In Movies at its new Seaside Theatre.

Carnival Spirit is set to make a splash when it returns from a major dry dock in August with Dive-In Movies at its new Seaside Theatre.

 

As part of a $44 million refurbishment, a 5m by 3m screen will be mounted near the mid-ship pool bringing popular movies and the latest Hollywood blockbusters under the sun and the stars.

Carnival Cruise Line Australia Vice President Jennifer Vandekreeke said Carnival Spirit’s poolside cinema would take onboard entertainment to new heights.

“Our guests will be able to watch comedies, action flicks and family-friendly films from the comfort of a deck chair or while taking a dip in the mid-ship pool. At night, we’ll offer special screenings under the stars with all the trimmings including popcorn and blankets as well as special theme evenings ranging from Date Night to Family Movie Time,” Ms Vandekreeke said.

“We think our fun-loving Australian guests will dive straight in to the new concept.”

Post dry dock, Carnival Spirit’s mid-ship pool deck will become a hive of activity with a new RedFrog Rum Bar, BlueIguana Tequila Bar, BlueIguana Cantina Mexican eatery and Guy’s Burger Joint all being added near the big screen.

“With the Seaside Theatre and a deck full of new bars and eateries creating an exciting new mid-ship entertainment precinct, we’re taking the fun factor to a whole new level on Carnival Spirit,” Ms Vandekreeke said.
