What would it take to inspire you to take a "Fun Ship" cruise from Tampa? How about a new 9-hole mini golf course, the family fun of Carnival WateWorks, a tropical resort-style pool - and when you need some pampering quite time - Serenity-Adult only Retreat. CARNIVAL INSPIRATION received all of this and more as part of our $250 million Evolutions of Fun program. And, as always, you'll find all of the delicious dining, entertainment, pampering service, and - of course - the beautiful destinations that our cruises are famous for. Book your Western Caribbean cruise aboard CARNIVAL INSPIRATION today and we'll be happy to show you how fun is done. Ship's Registry: The Bahamas.
