Is a Carnival Cruise as fun for kids as a Disney Cruise? |
Travel Info I have a 10 year old son and he loved the Disney Cruise but he was 7 when we took it. We are thinking of taking a Carnival Cruise this year and they seem to have quite a few activities for the 10-12 year old set. For some reason, I just don't see Disney having the same appeal for him now. Travel Tips I have done both. While Carnival does offer actvities for children it is nothing compared to Disney. I would not feel comfortable leaving my child for a few hours at a time on Carnival but I feel safe with Disney. I think he will still love the Disney Cruise. Especially at the moment with a lot of things themed around Pirates of the Caribbean. Hey I am 31 and I loved it. Others Two years ago I took my 12 year old daughter on a Carnival Cruise to the Bahamas. I would really like to recommend you do NOT take your 10 year old on a Carnival Cruise. 99% of the guests on Carnival cruises are there for one thing - DRINKING. What I experienced throughout the cruise was drunk people, rude and obnoxious. There were minimal activities for kids. The pools were very small and overcrowded. My daughter did not have a very good time. I was told by experienced "cruisers" to try the other cruise lines. I failed to heel the warnings that Carnival is the drinker's cruise ship. They were absolutely right. I would highly recommend Disney Cruises. You can't go wrong there with your kids. Next time I'm going to try Norwegien or the other ones. Only if you like your kid to participate in wet t-shirt parties. Carnival is for the wild bunch. i am 13 years old, and i LOVE disney cruises....we go on them EVERY year....carnival cruises are terrible for kids...we go on 2 cruises every year (since i was 2), and carnival was the worst.....its just a big party boat.....ppl r drunk 24/7, and wherever u r in the ship all u hear is noises all night....i strongly recommend not going on one....my 2 favorites are the disney ships and celebrity cruises....if u have any questions, dont hesitiate to email me at nixluvsjeter@yahoo.com or just send me a message!! hops this helps ; ] frequent cruiser I just came back from a Mediterranean on the Disney Cruise Ship "Magic". It was a wonderful time. The Cruise director outlined several changes they made on the ship that they said will be incorporated into future sailings all over the world to keep kids busy from time you get up till the late evening, including teenagers and young adults. On the other hand, Carnival seems to be the blunt of many bad press releases, reader comments, etc. You can go to the www.cruisecritic.com web site and check out comments on your Cruise line and ship. Do the research and plan well. Good Luck. i would not recommend going on a carnival cruise because of the drinking. I would recommend NCL. norwegian cruise line. i went on the majesty last week and it was so fun. email me at jem6529@yahoo.com and i will tell you about it |
