Kid's Clubs

On a Carnival "Fun Ship" one price covers just about everything including Carnival Cruise Lines' award winning Camp Carnival children's program for ages 2-15. As soon as your children come aboard, they'll find a special welcome from the Camp Carnival counselors qualified to make sure your children are safe, happy and having the time of their lives. During the cruise, your kids will have tons of fun exploring their Carnival "Fun Ship", enjoying all kinds of games, parties, talent shows and other fun - all under the friendly supervision of Camp Carnival counsellors.

Staff
Carnival's super-popular year-round program includes a wide range of activities designed for four different age groups. All are supervised by counsellors who are college-educated in a related field, have professional childcare experience, or both. As soon as your kids visit Camp Carnival, they'll meet a counsellor assigned to their age group. While activities take place throughout the ship, smaller children enjoy many of their fun events in the Camp Carnival headquarters, where there are games, computers, arts & crafts and even an outdoor wading pool.

Age Groups & Restrictions
The Camp Carnival program is specially designed for four age groups:

Toddlers (Age 2 - 5)
Camp Carnival's age-appropriate activities are sure to delight all toddlers. From finger painting to cartoon time, arts and crafts to puppet shows, your little ones are sure to have a blast! Toddlers do not have to be potty-trained in order to be part of Camp Carnival; parents simply need to provide the youth staff with nappies and toiletries for their child.

Junior Cruisers (Age 6 - 8)
Junior cruisers ages 6 through 8 will delight in Camp Carnival's fun-filled and age-appropriate activities. From "Make Your Own Sundaes" and spin art, to sweetie art and movie time, your kids will have the opportunity to participate in fun events and make new friends from all over the world.

Intermediate Cruisers (Age 9 - 11)
Young cruisers ages 9 through 11 will delight in Camp Carnival's fun-filled and age-appropriate activities. From "Make Your Own Sundaes" and swim time, to video games and scavenger hunts, your kids will have the opportunity to participate in fun events and make new friends from all over the world. While most of the Camp Carnival activities for this age group are supervised, there will be times when they are divided into teams for a game or other such activities, and will not be accompanied by a member of the youth staff.

Teens (Age 12 -15)
Camp Carnival makes sure teens have lots of social events with kids their own ages, like dances, talent contests and sports tournaments. Carnival even has a special shore excursion program designed just for teens. Now your 12- to 15-year-olds can choose from a selection of Camp Carnival recommended tours; they can go as a group to explore many of our exciting destinations with a Camp Carnival chaperone. If your teen loves to dance, here's some great news for them: every night aboard a Carnival cruise 12- to 15-year-old guests will have the opportunity to "mix and mingle" in the shipboard dance club from 9:30pm to 10:45pm. After 11:00pm, teens 15 and under can join the youth staff for a variety of activities, such as a late night movie, karaoke or outdoor games.

Babysitting
For the convenience of their guests Camp Carnival offers evening babysitting services allowing parents time to enjoy fun-filled nightlife without having to worry about their little ones.

Babysitting service is available every evening from 10:00pm to 3:00am in the children's playroom, for children from 4 months to 11 years of age. In port, group daytime babysitting is available for infants two and under, from port arrival until noon, for a fee.

In order to take advantage of this great service, parents must sign up in advance with the Youth Staff. The cost for this service is $6 per hour for the first child and $4 per hour for each additional child in the same immediate family. Payment must be made with your onboard account and is due upon pick-up.

All babysitting is done in a "slumber party" atmosphere, where kids can enjoy watching movies and cartoons. Pillows, blankets and cribs will be provided. However, any toiletries or nappies must be provided by parents.

Children’s Menus
Children also get their very own menus, featuring all their favorite foods. Hot dogs, chicken nuggets, pizza, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are all available on a Carnival cruise, so even Carnival's pint-size guests can feel pampered on their "Fun Ship" family vacation. On some nights, your kids can even eat with the other kids, leaving you to enjoy a quiet evening on your own.

“Fun Ship” Fountain Cards - Soda Program
Kids can enjoy unlimited soft drinks and juices for your entire cruise for one low price. Kids can have all the sodas they can drink for only $12 per child for a three night cruise and $28 for a 7 night cruise. That's a lot of sugar, but a great value for your family holiday.
