Review summary

GUEST SERVICE AND EXCURSION PERSONNEL ARE POOR. SECURITY WAS NOT HELPFUL WHEN WE HAD AN ISSUE WE WERE TOLD THAT WE WOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THE UNHAPPY EXPERIENCE, BUT WE WERE NOT GIVEN ANYTHING. This was a very expensive vacation for very little enjoyment. My son turned 2 the day before the trip. We were told that could save money if he turned 2 the day after. My 2 and 5 year old had very little to do on the boat and yet they we were charged full admission.

Of course they are going to be charged full price. I don't have young kids but when I was on this ship I saw plenty to do for young ones.

I’ve always found it to be very affordable. We took our granddaughters when they were 1 and 3. The oldest did go to Camp Carnival but the youngest was with us all the time. We had a party of 10, including them, so there was always someone around to help keep them entertained. Going next month with them again and can’t wait. And, as someone else said, the 3rd and 4th guest in the cabin, regardless of age, have a much lower fare. As a family, we love cruising and find it to be one of the best and most economical ways for us to travel.

Good research would have done wonders for you. Sounds like cruising isn't for you.

Our 3 year old grand daughter had a awesome time at camp Carnival and so did we on our last ten cruises with Carnival, ups and downs during that time, of course we did but a bad day cruising is better than a good day at work in the middle of winter in cold ny.

Yes, being two he was eligible for the camp. That's why the price goes up. I hope you did put both of them in the camp - otherwise, they would have had little to do.

You should’ve done your research, +2 and five years old they have daycamp‘s there I don’t know about that shit though that’s when researching comes in handy. And there’s usually baby pools but that’s it for kids at That age!
