Inspiration Cabin Tour: http://youtu.be/IpQcC0FuHyc Inspiration Water Slides: http://youtu.be/RRaGx0COhyQ Hi Cruisers, It's Sheri from CruiseTipsTV. Welcome to our video tour of the Carnival Inspiration. This is a pretty long video. So below is a list of areas covered along with the associated time code. Water slides: 00:10 Pool area: 00:42 Serenity: 01:15 Mini Golf: 01:35 Gym: 01:58 Carnivale Dining Room: 03:00 Mardi Gras Dining Room: 03:52 Brasserie Bar & Grill: 04:45 Taste Bar: 05:42 Candy Store: 05:51 Cafe Des Artistes: 06:06 Grand Atrium: 06:20 Violins Bar: 06:48 Rock & Roll Dance Club: 07:10 Rhapsody in Blue Piano Bar: 07:40 Avant Garde: 08:09 Chopin Lounge: 08:42 Candlelight Lounge: 09:00 Paris Lounge: 09:35 Monte Carlo: 10:10 Fun Shops: 10:54 Club O2: 11:10 Arcade: 11:43 Virtual Slide: 12:35 Inspiration was the first recipient of the line's "Evolutions of Fun" makeovers, a $350 million modern reinvention of the Fantasy-class vessels. One of the most exciting refurbishments in 2007 was the introduction of Carnival Waterworks, which includes a four-story tall, 300-foot-long Twister corkscrew waterslide, a dual-lane waterslide, a Splash Park, and even a dual slide for the pint sized cruisers. Carnival calls the adults only Serenity the "kid-free oasis". Located aft, Inspiration's Serenity is smaller than those found on larger ships, but still provides a relaxing sanctuary and terrific views from the back of the ship. Practice your putting skills at the 9 hole mini golf course, or take in the awesome ocean views while staying fit on the jogging track at the top of the ship. The Fitness Center is accessed via the Spa Carnival front desk The Carnival Inspiration offers 2 main dining rooms. What we enjoy most is the eclectic ceiling art and lights. Handmade Italian fan-shaped seashells in marigold and garnet glass are among its decorative highlights. There are no real booths in either dining room. The Mardi Gras dining room is located on Atlantic Deck 8 near midship and seats about 650. It is very similar to the Carnivale Dining Room in decor and layout. And again, the pizazz is found is the dazzling ceiling work and lighting. The service was very good and staff performances were particularly entertaining. Brasserie Bar & Grill located on Lido Deck 10. The design theme of flowing purple tendrils illuminated by neon and stained glass is quite unique. But, this place is really about food, and lots of it. For tasty bite-size samplings of some of the chef's favorite savory foods don't miss the Taste Bar. And speaking of treats, if you've got little ones or a sweet tooth, you'll likely to be drawn into the vortex of the candy store. Cafe Des Artistes Coffee Bar is the coffee bar on board the ship. They also offer pastries, sweets and shakes. At the heart of the Inspiration, you'll enjoy the glitzy six-story atrium flanked by glass-sided elevators. There's an extremely small Internet Café, and a sitting area. Two valuable resources can be found in the Atrium; the Guest services desk and the shore excursions office. The Violins Bar is located on Promenade Deck 9 near midship and close to the Monte Carlo Casino. This is a great place to sit and people watch. The centerpiece is of course the array of violins behind the bar. The Rock and Roll Dance Club is the ship's full fledged nightclub on Promenade Deck. This is a fun place complete with pearl-finished guitars with fiber optic strings. Here we have Rhapsody in Blue piano bar. The design theme was originally intended to transmit the "spirit of George Gershwin's music". The Avant Garde located on Promenade Deck 9 features classic music and karaoke entertainment. The Chopin Lounge attracts a lot of guest on their way to dinner at the Carnvale Dining room. It's flat screen TV's seem to air an endless stream of sports. Here we have the Candlelight Lounge located aft on Promenade deck 9. It's the ship's cabaret-style entertainment hangout. If you like decorative fiber optic candles, then this place is for you. Located at the front of Promenade Deck 9, the two level Paris Lounge seats about 1300 people. The sofas are comfortable, there's lots of legroom, and most seats have terrific views of the stage. The onboard casino comes to life casino typically any time the ship is in international waters. Located on the Promenade Deck (Deck 9) the Monte Carlo has Slots, Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Bingo, & Texas Hold'em for gambling fun. There's not a lot of shopping on the Inspiration, but the Fun Shops on Atlantic Deck 8 are certainly worth browsing on sea days. If you have teenagers 15-17, then they'll probably want to stop by Club O2 for some music, video games, food, fun, and new friends. The arcade on the ship is tucked in a tricky- to-find corner, on the port side of the Grand Atrium on Promenade Deck adjacent to the O2 Teen Center.
