On Carnival, we know that every family is different, so we have different kinds of fun for young couples with tots,
couples with teens, and seniors who travel with kids and grandkids. With plenty of fun activities to keep everyone happy,
your next family vacation will be filled with lasting memories. Whats more, we offer the ultimate in supervised youth programs:
Led by highly trained professionals, these programs are all included in the price of your cruise. Plus, Carnival features some
of the largest accommodations at sea, giving you and your family more room to spread out. And to make your stay on the ship even
more comfortable and convenient, you can book connecting staterooms, a great option for families and groups. A "Fun Ship"
cruise is a great vacation choice for the entire family.
Onboard Features and Activities
A Carnival cruise offers countless opportunities to reconnect as a family. From an afternoon of fun in the pool to hurtling
along the new Twister Waterslide, to a kids versus adults golf tournament, the possibilities are endless. Dads and their sons
can find out whos really got the best moves in a one-on-one basketball challenge while Moms and daughters enjoy being pampered
at Spa Carnival. A modern version of family movie night Carnivals Seaside TheatreSM* featuring a giant outdoor screen, is
great for viewing hit movies, sporting events, and even cartoons for the kids. Its big enough for the entire family and theres
not a bad seat in the house.
Destinations and Shore & Land Excursions
While youre having fun onboard, Carnival will be heading to some of the most fascinating destinations in the world.
Carnival is literally all over the map with destinations from Alaska to South America to Europe, and dozens of incredible
places in between. Each destination has a wide variety of onshore excursions the whole family will enjoy. See all of the
incredible sights, spend a day on the beach, tool around in a 4x4, or share the thrill of swimming with dolphins and manta
rays, whatever you decide. When youve had your fill of shore based fun, head back to your ship where the party is still
in full swing.
Time for Mom and Dad
Do you remember Date Night? That special time devoted to time alone, just the two of you. Sounds good right now, doesnt it?
Camp Carnivals optional babysitting service makes it possible again. Leave the kids where theyll have their own kind of fun
and spend date night at our reservations-only supper club and enjoy a spectacular stage show. How about some time to play your
favorite game of chance in the friendly casino? Or maybe a relaxing massage or other pampering treatment at Spa Carnival sounds
like just what you need to leave the stress of the world behind. Theres even a special adult only retreat on some of our
ships, SerenitySM, designed to be the ideal setting for outdoor relaxation with calming music, extra plush lounge chairs
and attentive servers.
Please note: Babysitting is available from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. at the rate of $6 per hour for a child age 0-11.
Each additional sibling is an additional charge of $4 per hour.
Youth Programs
A complimentary program of fun and educational activities open to young guests ages as from age 2 to 17. Activities are geared
to fit the age of the kids involved and, with each group having no more than a three years difference in age, youngsters are sure
to be with others who have the same interests. Toddler (25) activities include face painting, Picture Bingo, reading and story
time; juniors (6-8) will enjoy T-shirt decorating, dance classes, and Game Boys; while intermediates (9-11) can tackle the
challenges of Freaky Fear Factor, scavenger hunts, and Camp Carnival Survivor.
There are two programs designed specially for the older crowd as well. Circle "C" caters to 12-14 year olds while Club
O2 is just for cruisers from 15-17. Talent shows, waterslide races and video arcade tournaments are just a few of the cool
things to do onboard a Carnival cruise. With a place of their own to listen to the latest music, watch a movie, or just hang
out with new friends from all over the world, even the most hard to entertain teen will have a great time. While supervised,
both clubs allow teens the freedom to come and go as they please so they can participate as much, or as little, as they want.
Another great thing about sailing with kids on a Carnival ship is the shore excursion program just for Circle
"C" teens. A Camp Carnival chaperone will accompany teen groups on exploration missions of many Carnival destinations.
