They should. I emailed Carnival asking the same thing on the Sensation because I couldn't book it online. Here is the response I got bac:

 

 

For those who want to get an insider's look at the inner-workings of a Carnival "Fun Ship," the line has created Behind the Fun, a guided tour that provides guests with a unique insight into the company's shipboard operations.

 

 

 

Behind the Fun is offered fleetwide. On 3/4/5 day cruises, a shortened version of the described tour below will be approximately 2 hours and cost $55 per person.

 

 

 

On cruises 6 days or longer, the informative 3-1/2 hour tour offers participants a behind-the-scenes look at a wide range of shipboard venues that are normally off limits to guests. During the tour, key shipboard personnel, including the captain, chief engineer, chef de cuisine and other department heads, share their vast knowledge in their particular area of expertise.

 

 

 

Behind the Fun begins with a stop backstage in the main show lounge where participants can see exactly what goes into creating Carnival's award-winning revues. The tour then moves on to normally restricted areas such as the laundry room, crew galley and dining room, crew gym and crew training center.

 

 

 

Next it's on to the expansive main galley where talented culinary artists prepare upwards of 12,000 meals and snacks a day for Carnival's guests. The tour also includes a visit to the ship's bridge and engine control room and informative Q&A sessions with the captain and chief engineer, respectively.

 

 

 

In addition to a comprehensive overview of Carnival's shipboard operations, Behind the Fun participants receive a number of commemorative gifts, including a custom-made Behind the Fun baseball cap and lanyard, a Team Carnival Picture Perfect book with stunning photographs of Carnival ships and destinations taken by the line's employees and complimentary photos with the captain on the bridge.

 

 

 

Behind the Fun tours can be booked through the ships' shore excursion desk. The cost is $95 per person and capacity is limited to 16 guests per tour.

Your ticker says you are on the Triumph, on May 3rd, headed to Canada? The Triumph on May 3rd is going out of Galveston and headed to Coz?

I thought perhaps there had been an itinerary changed I had not heard about? ;)

Awesome, thanks for the info..for some reason I was convinced it was only offered on 5+ day iteneraries!

[reerun25]

The behind the scenes tours are fleet-wide, just the price and length are adjusted based on the length of your cruise.

Didn't mean to scare you :) That would have to be one fast ship to get to Canada and back in 4 days!!

[spacepotatoes]

They are fleet-wide, so I'd assume so. The Imagination has it on its 4-day sailing, we did it January. Great experience!

We were on the Fantasy about 2 weeks ago and my dad went on the Behind the Fun tour. He said it was worth every penny. He got to visit the galley, the laundry room, and the bridge. Plus they had a meet and greet with the singers and dancers of the production shows.

Yes they do. My 11 year old grandson and I did it in March.
