MrCo9 Posted April 30, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 30, 2010 "Is there a teen program onboard? Carnival offers two different teen programs. For our 12-14 year old guests, Circle "C" offers a wide range of activities from late night movies, sports night, teen disco, Karaoke, late night swimming under the stars, scavenger hunts, and many other age appropriate activities. Guests 15 - 17 years old have a place all their own as well, it's called Club 02. This program was created so the older teens can show off their skills in fun activities like Karaoke sessions, late night dances, ping pong and outdoor sporting events like basketball. Many of our ships feature lounges which are dedicated to both age groups. Some of these lounges feature video monitors with Playstation 2 or X-Boxes, as well as comfortable seating. High energy dance floors with state of the art lighting and sound have also become a mainstay in many of our "Teen Only" lounges. Due to these programs onboard, it is Carnival's policy to restrict anyone under the age of 18 years old into the main disco after 11 PM. Casino guests must be 18 years of age to play the tables and the slot machines. Guests under the age of 18 are not permitted in the casino. Guests under the age of 16 are not permitted in the spa and gym. Guests between the ages of 16 and 18 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. " The 17 year old has to leave the disco by 10:59:59 They can eat together, they can go to the pool together, they can play basketball and mini golf together. The 17 year old is not allowed in the casino and the 18 year old is not allowed in Club O2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHP Posted April 30, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 30, 2010 18 and older to get in the disco after 10 or 11pm...sorry. However, there are plenty of other places they can go at night TOGETHER. Piano bar, cover band lounge....etc. No age limits on these... In fact, the disco and the casino are the only two places they can't go together....

Knights on the Beach Posted April 30, 2010 #5 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Guests under 18 must vacate the dance club by 10 PM per carnival's website.But whether or not they actually enforce it is anyone's guess. They usually ask for ID, but not always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny the FAQ you quoted said this but when I asked a question about my kids using the fitness center and spa a couple of weeks ago I was quoted this FAQ: Are there any age restrictions onboard? Drinking alcoholic beverages: Guest must be 21 years of age or older to be served alcohol on board. Proper I.D. with birth date is required. Casino: Guest must be 18 years of age or older to play the tables and the slot machines. Guests under 18 years of age are not permitted in the casino. Spa Carnival and fitness center: Guests under 12 years of age are not permitted in these facilities. Guests between the ages of 12 and 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. So what is the correct FAQ answer?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what is the correct FAQ answer?:confused: Under 12 (6 months (1 year on transatlantic cruises) - 11 years 364 days) not allowed at all. 12-16 allowed as long as they are accompanied and supervised by an adult. Where is the ambiguity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omalley16 Posted April 30, 2010 #10 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Im confused on this gym thing too. I dont care about the spa, I just want to work out a bit. I am 14, and my grandmother would go with me, but I dont know if I could go in. Im not a fitness freak or anything, I just like to have a lot of leg muscle. 250 lbs able to move and counting :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrenalineRush Posted April 30, 2010 #11 Share Posted April 30, 2010 The other FAQ quoted said: Guests under the age of 16 are not permitted in the spa and gym. That FAQ said nothing about 12-16 being allowed with an adult. It said under 16 not permitted. I think the one FAQ is for teens reading it and letting them know they cant come into the gym alone if they are under 16. The other is more general saying that 12-16 is allowed with parents. In practice, if the kid comes in and doesnt act like he is goofing around, the staff wont say a word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the FAQ you're talking about on the Carnival website that states 12 - 16 must be accompanied by an adult. http://www.carnival.com/cms/faqs/default.aspx?faq=age+restrictions#q-219 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mssevie Posted April 30, 2010 #13 Share Posted April 30, 2010 The age thing presented a problem 2 years ago on the Ecstasy for my then 19 and 16 y/o DD's. At night it was hard for them to find things to do together since they checked ID at the disco(would not let my 16 y/o in even with me), and she could not go into the casino. They did try some of the other places and did some of the late shows, but there were times when the 19 y/o wanted to do the things she was allowed to do. Didn't ruin the fun of the cruise, but was still a little issue. This year for our cruise on the Conquest my younger daughter is now 18, so will not be an issue for them. She even had to use age as a criteria for what friend she brought. One of her friends she had considered bringing would still be 17 at the time of the cruise, so she chose a friend who was already 18 who will be able to do the same things she can do.

dseres Posted May 1, 2010 #14 Share Posted May 1, 2010 oops that sounded stupid when I said 2 were 7 I meant 17 and 2 were 18. they need to find a little leway on these situations. its ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbay-eh Posted May 1, 2010 #15 Share Posted May 1, 2010 oops that sounded stupid when I said 2 were 7 I meant 17 and 2 were 18. they need to find a little leway on these situations. its ridiculous. As much as I sympathize with you where do you suggest they draw the line - unfortunately they drew the line where it was not good for you but may have been for others. There really should be something for 18-21s but then the 17 would still be left out but then they have their own group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodogkisses Posted May 1, 2010 #16 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Carnival is very strict about letting anyone into the Disco if not 18 years of age the date of sailing. My DD was 18 yrs. on our cruise 2 years ago and had a 17 yr old friend with her. They stood guard at the door and wouldn't let them in, not even if I went with them. They meant business. It was a little inconvenient, but they found things to do. Glad we are all past the age of 18 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
