Review summary

I liked being able to sit with our entire family after the business of each day for dinner. I didn't care for people not "watching" their kids, as an adult paying for a relaxing time, we shouldn't feel like we are babysitting someone else's kids. There really should be some guidelines for parents that bring their kids on board. The ship was clean, and our stewards were awesome. The dining room crew of the Blush Dining Room were excellent as far as service, professionalism, and entertainment.

serenity deck is not very big and chairs are taken/saved very early in the the morning... i refuse to get up at 6am to throw a towel on a chair. if carnival had an adult only cruise i would be in... i raised my kids and i don't want to spend my vacation babysitting yours

I don't think these comments are complaining about kids, it's the lack of respect for others.

People that complain about kids should go on another cruise line that is for old grumpy people. Everyone is just having a good time I bet most of you would be doing the same if you were a kid plus the drunk adults are more rude and obnoxious.

I agree and I have 4! Yes, we all cruise together. Mine are older now, youngest is 14, but he's been cruising since he was 9.

in everyday life I can't stand people that don't watch their kids. I've raised several and now have an almost 2yo. never have I let them run around like chickens with their heads cut off. its rude. at least the rest of your cruise was good. I'm going for the first time in Nov, hoping for a awesome time.

I think they should make the pool and hot tubs at the rear of the ship over 18 only after 9pm .. i was in a hot tub on the Breeze at 10pm with very young kids in it (one was less than a year) there parents were also in the hot tub but ridiculously drunk... bad, bad situation

First of all let me say, We have kids. Yes, we can afford to take them. 9:00 is a little excessive but I don't think they should be running wild at 1am. or allowed to sit screaming in the dining room for hours either. Parents should be respectful enough of others to teach their kids how to behave. However, if they're not going to do it, I absolutely think the cruise line employees should be able to step in.

I'm 51 & agree that parents should monitor their children's activities. Parents are on vacation but not a vacation from parenting

I totally agree with you I know that Carnival has a lot of kids but you're with their parents honestly I don't know how they can afford to take all the kids but that's neither here nor there. I have heard a lot of comments about kids running free even at midnight down the Halls it should totally be stopped kids should not be allowed out 9 o'clock should be a limit if they were home then probably be in bed I agree totally with what you're saying I guess so because I'm 72 years old that's the way I feel I love kids but they have their place
