Carnival Camp Ocean for ages 2 and 4

[Candace8789]

Hello,

We are thinking about a cruise with Carnival (our first cruise ever) because it has the Camp Ocean and we have 2 kids who will be ages 2 and 4 at the time of travel.  I am wondering if anyone has used the camp and whether the kids liked?  Are you able to do shore excursions and leave them at the camp?

Thank you!

This is the link from the Carnival FAQ page about Carnival's Youth Program, it states in part, "If parent/guardian decide to leave their children in the care of the Youth Staff while in port, they can!  They should let us know if they are going on a Carnival shore excursion or going to explore the port on their own."

 

Note that the in port policy differs by cruise line (mentioning in case you look at other options).  Our kids are older now but they never really like the kids clubs, regardless of the cruise line.  Others post that the kids love them so it really depends on your children.  For what it's worth, we've travelled all over the place with our kids, even when they were infants, and we've always brought them ashore.
