Camp Carnival "Night Owls" fees

[MentalVacation]

Ok, I suspect I know what the answer to this is, but for the sake of discussion, humor me. :)

 

When I log onto the Carnival site to manage my cruise, there are terms and conditions to accept as you go through the process of pre-registering a child for Camp Carnival. At one of the prompts, the terms and conditions reads something about extra charges for 10pm-3am (which I knew), and says it is 6.00 for the first child, 4.00 for additional child....but then when I click on the form that you actually print and bring onboard, the charges are set out at 6.75 per child plus a 15% gratuity. (the gratuity is not spelled out in the other area, although I did assume it would be added).

 

So, am I correct in assuming that they have just raised the rate and gotten rid of the second child discount, but haven't updated their website fully?

 

I don't even know that we will utilize this service as it seems like a good way to really mess up the kids' sleep (it is not in-room, which is ok, b/c that is a little odd too...LOL...I am clearly indecisive on this subject!)

 

BUT, on the off chance that we DO decide to utilize it, I just want to make sure I have enough in the discretionary budget for a couple of nights at least. And it does make a bit of a difference when you do the math:

 

For me (2 kids) here is the hourly rate with a 15% gratuity added in:

 

15.52 (presumed) new rate

 

11.50 old rate

 

Now, it doesn't seem like a huge difference until you calculate it out over 3-4 hours

 

4 hours at lower rate with gratuity: 46.00

 

4 hours at higher rate with gratuity: 62.08

 

Any recent cruisers that utilized this and can confirm?

 

I honestly suspect that we won't need it (as we are both usually pretty tired by the end of excursion-filled days....:) ) But, just in case....better to be prepared!

There's a discussion on this somewhere but yes, you are correct. It was recently changed and they haven't updated the rates yet.

Yes that is correct the new rates have not been updated.

Here is a better Camp guide with correct info.

There are usually a couple of late night parties they can attend. But yes, it can really mess up sleep....
