You’ll get a look at everything up here, including the sports area, waterslides, and the famous BOLT roller coaster.

Good to Know
If you’re planning to ride BOLT, keep in mind there is an extra fee. While you can try doing a walkup, the best way to secure your spot is by making a reservation directly in the Carnival Hub app ahead of time. The coaster track winds all the way to the aft, giving riders an incredible bird’s-eye view looking down over the water park.
For those looking to chill out instead of hit the slides or sports courts, Deck 18 has plenty of comfortable clamshell loungers. They’re tucked along the walking track and make a quiet place to unwind, especially on port days when most guests are off exploring ashore.
