Review summary

If you have children, don't go there, pay for their ticket and don't have many things to do, Very little true information, they sell you a dream when it's not. they are charging you for things you don't even know about, you have to be filled with guests service all the time, people in "offices" are quite inefficient and rude, they don't help you NEVER

didn't do the tour because no one told me that my daughters wouldn't be able to go down to Nassau on a crusero to the Bahamas, why would I want to come on a cruise to the Bahamas so I wouldn't get off?

Children are allowed to get off at the private island so I'm not sure why you didn't get it off there though

I honestly would not sail on Carnival's smaller ships if I had children with me. I would only go on the vista class and above so that they had more to do or try one of RCL's ships with a water park, etc. A lot of children's activities have also been scaled down send covid restart.

Spring Break is a challenging time to cruise because of the larger number of children. A cruise ship is not a place for unlimited playgrounds for children. Sounds like your expectations were untenable.

Agree, you need to know the rules and everything is clearly stated. A cruise is not a free for all.

I've been on the Sunrise and I loved it! I saw lot's of kids having fun too. Rope course, waterslides, mini golf, basketball, movies on the deck in the evening, pools, etc. What else to ask for...

Thanks for the review. Sounds like cruising isn’t for you. Most people love it, but it’s not for everyone or those traveling with unvaccinated children currently.

Sounds like you didn't do your homework! I don't take kids, and i know there are ports they can't get off at because of covid. Don't blame carnival for your lack of research. "Cops"? Do you mean employees were stopping children from doing things they shouldn't be doing because their parents were not parenting? Bravo to the staff!
