Review summary

i dont like the bigger ships and we were caught off guard that it was spring break. It wasnt spring break where we live but evidently i have to do more reseach on that. Just dont want to cruise with that many children. They were not supervised or with their families. Keeping the ship clean behind these unruly children had to be a nightmare.

Everytime I see posts like this I can't help but wonder, how can any complain about children on a cruise ship when Carnival is a "family" cruise line. That's like complaining about children on a Disney cruise.

Also it may seem to someone who doesn't have children in the clubs on board, but they do ship wide scavenger hunts on board and compete against each other for prizes. Usually thats when you might see kids running randomly thru the ship.
