Carnival Cruise Lines Kid's Programs |
 |
On a "Fun Ship" vacation, you don't have to worry about the endless expenses of an ordinary resort vacation because one low price includes virtually everything. In fact, it even covers the Camp Carnival program for kids ages 2 to 15. This is a fabulous benefit to parents. Because while you enjoy grownup pleasures, you can relax knowing your children are enjoying an incredible choice of exciting activities in the care of highly trained fun-loving counselors.
Carnival's super-popular year-round program includes a wide range of activities designed for four different age groups. All are supervised by counselors 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 counselor 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.
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 diapers must be provided by parents.
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 diapers and toiletries for their child.
Other activities for toddlers include:
