You can now play trampoline dodgeball on a cruise liner. Trampoline basketball, too.

The current can-you-top-this tourist attraction at sea, revealed Wednesday on Carnival Cruise Line’s new Carnival Panorama, is a Sky Zone trampoline park.

As I saw during a sneak peek at the 4,008- passenger vessel in advance of its very first sailing, the extra-charge attraction is an at-sea variation of the 200- plus Sky Zone parks found throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico and 9 other nations.

Like its land-based siblings, it has padded trampoline locations where you do not simply jump around however also take part in video games such as dodgeball and basket shooting while bouncing. There’s also a low-rise balance beam above a padded area for jousting contests (with safe soft cushioned bats) and a climbing up wall augmented with interactive video game elements.

As I wrote in my initial review of Carnival Panorama, I was a little underwhelmed by the space on first sight.

However this function isn’t for older travel writers, it’s plainly for kids, consisting of the tiniest ones. A number of the bouncy tourist attractions aren’t too intense, so you can have a fantastic afternoon here experimenting with your toddler or young child, who need to absolutely love it.

Sky Zone even provides one-hour “toddler time” sessions specifically for kids ages 6 months to 5 years accompanied by an adult ($ 5 per kid and $5 per adult). There are additional sessions for kids ages 6 to 14, as well as guests 15 and older. The latter are priced at $12 per individual, which includes a set of Sky Zone socks.

Come nighttime, the Sky Zone opens to all-ages “blacklight radiance celebrations” where you use a customized glowing Tee shirts as you bounce around (entry expenses $18, consisting of the t-shirt, which is yours to keep).

The Sky Zone on Carnival Panorama gets here as megaship operators such as Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line battle for the household market with an ever more outlandish variety of fun-focused, kid-friendly shipboard destinations. Royal Caribbean’s latest vessels function everything from bumper cars and trucks to skydiving simulators Norwegian has been rolling out the first go-kart tracks at sea And Carnival itself is in the midst of developing what definitely will be the most excessive household cruise liner attraction ever: A full-blown roller rollercoaster

Carnival isn’t the very first line to put a trampoline-related attraction on a cruise liner. Over the past two years, Royal Caribbean has actually included a virtual reality bungee trampoline experience called Sky Pad to the top of several vessels. But those tourist attractions, in which riders use virtual truth headsets while bouncing in a bungee-like gizmo to experience a virtual world, are considerably various than the Sky Zone.

For the record, my session began with a really extensive security instruction from the Sky Zone staff, and there’s a long list of plainly significant and sensible guidelines in the space such as no running, no flip flops, no double bouncing and no horseplay.

And what I presume will be the most popular destination at the Sky Zone trampoline park isn’t trampoline-related at all.
