We will show you all the crew areas on this class of ships before signing-on, including ship details, photos of the crew dining and recreational areas, and much more.
Please note that the following photos of the crew areas are from the Costa Smeralda. Other Carnival Corporation brands such as Aida, P&O Cruises and Carnival Cruise Line might have different interior designs or features, but the general layout of the crew facilities should be the same on all Excellence-Helios Class ships.
