Tke-n-Tink Posted September 27, 2007 #1 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I also posted the message on the Family Board. I am looking for some information regarding Excursions with Camp Carnival. I am sure that our 2 older kids would rather go on excursions with the new friends they will make - but I am looking for some information and imput - GOOD or BAD.... Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance I don't believe they do those excursions, as most families prefer a family vacation and therefore take their kids on excursions with them.

abitaturbodog Posted September 27, 2007 #3 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I've not heard about excursions for Camp Carnival, but my oldest is 11 so maybe this is something that the older groups do. Personally, I wouldn't do it even if Carnival does offer this sort of thing. I know I'm overprotective, but the idea of my child in a foreign country without me is scary. Am I the only one that feels that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only one that feels that way? That is not over protective in my eyes.Too many what ifs. Injuries, getting left by the ship, etc. I would never take the chance.

Tke-n-Tink Posted September 27, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Sorry - It is my understanding the Camp Carnival excursions are with the teen groups - It is so not being overprotective - That is whay I am asking the questions - GOOD or BAD experiences - I know all about the "fears" I have them myself - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance I know HAL had them in alaska. I've never seen them offered on carnival. I think you will not find many kids going off the ship without their parents.

abitaturbodog Posted September 27, 2007 #7 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I think I remember someone on the Family forum mentioning a teens excursion on one of the cruiseline's private islands. I think it was RCCL. Now that's something I'd sign my kids up for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nybumpkin Posted September 27, 2007 #8 Share Posted September 27, 2007 There was a Club O2 excursion offered on our Legend sailing in 2006 (NYC-Eastern Caribbean). It was a speedboat with a beach visit in St. Thomas. Our son didn't do it since we already had an excursion booked in St. Thomas, and I have no idea how many kids signed up. I haven't seen another Club O2 excursion offered on any of our cruises since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAC029 Posted September 27, 2007 #10 Share Posted September 27, 2007 My daughter and her friend that we took on our 2004 cruise on the Imagination went on a Teen Excursion in Cozumel with a Teen Counselor. They did a horsebackriding tour and had a great time. They were 12 then. At no time did I feel uncomfortable with letting them go. I am SURE Carnival oversees this as they do not want bad press if something happens. And I consider myself a VERY overprotective Mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnt Posted September 27, 2007 #11 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I have not seen kids excursions. I wouldn't want our son in a foreign country without us. That being said, we rarely get to enjoy time with our DS on the ship as he is always with his new friends. Excursions are precious family vacation time together.
