Beautiful glass structures are a predominant feature found throughout Carnival Spirit.
In addition to many striking glass works of art are bright, colorful murals found particularly along stairwell landings. 
  Surprises are to be found all throughout Carnival Spirit.  One of those is viewing windows into the Atrium from stateroom corridors. 
  Pleasant, neutral colors accent common areas making the Spirit one of the 'quieter' Carnival Cruise Line fleet mates. 
  A revolutionary benchmark initiated on Spirit Class ships is the striking number of verandahs available for guests.
