Your right after 7 days in the serenity deck pool I came back with a heck of a rash that my sisters swears I got from the pool. She said she saw all the people drinking buckets of beer but none of them went to the bathroom. So the next time I will only use the pool day one and maybe two. But it was still fun.

That's what they had on the Miracle and it was fantastic...

Our first day on the Splendor there were kids in the adult pool. After that, I don't remember seeing a single kid back there.. The water park area was the big attraction for them.

......mainly because too many adults were eliminating in the pool.

Who cares.
Interesting how people that do not cruise Carnival put 2 cents in on Carnival topics...... and say lots of negative comments on Carnival reviews. Yet they have never even been on a Carnival ship.
Yes Carnival is a "Family Cruise Line" all of the single party people of the 90's and 2000's now have rug rats and want to cruise. When you get onto a Carnival ship you should know what your in for. I happen to not like kids around. I know where the Serenity deck is and I tend to use it. I also do not cruise when school is on break. Carnival also has the 21 and over "R" rated comedy shows and lots of bars on the ship and a casino.......there is something for everybody on a Carnival cruise.
I do not use the pool not because of kids but the adults that soak in the pool for hours with out getting out and drinking a bucket of beer. Kids are not the only ones that put the "P" in pool.

They had a pool on the Serenity Deck on the Miracle and it was Heaven... I went there everyday even after spending a few hours at the port.

I understand completely.

In my opinion. I agree on Carnival being a family oriented cruiseline. And they do have the Serenity deck for 21 and over. I suggest getting a pool for the Adults only on that deck. Or find a singles or couples cruise.
I agree. If people don't like to see so many children, or don't like that some parents break the rules for their kids by letting them into the polls and hottubs wearing swim diapers, then Carnival might not be the right Cruiseline for them. I'm not saying that breaking the rules is right, I'm just saying that Carnival is very much a family Cruiseline.
