For parents of small children! Going on our first carnival cruise in march, any suggestions or tips?

It will be me, husband and our 4 year old! We will be going on the Carnival Elation, 5 day cruise from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas for 2 days. Couple questions...

1. Is Carnival Elation nice/child friendly?
2. Has anyone tried the Camp Carnival for kids? What kind of activities
do they do...are they safe and trustworthy?
3. Shore excursions! ...What kind of things did your young child enjoy?
Something that will hold their attention, and be fun. Nothing too dangerous.

Your tips and information is appreciated.






Answer :
All the ships are fine for children.
I suggest you enroll the child in the Camp Carnival so you can enjoy the cruise while the 4 year old enjoys it even more. The activities are varied and trustworthy.
Shore excursions for a 4 year old? I say not to do it.. The places are touristed out and the ship is great when all the others go ashore. The beach in Cabo is fine but the ship's pool is better. Enjoy!






Answer :
I hve only been on the Conquest - we cruised last week with 2 kids. Our ship was very kid friendly. Camp Carnival and Club O2 were great. They gave us a fold out brochure on the first day with all the activities - dates and times listed- kind of like the Carnival Capers which the adults get in their rooms every night. They were ( in our opinion ) totally safe. Shore excursions - we did golf one day, snorkeling one day, and the beach another. ( Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel). All were enjoyable days, be prepared for the kids to crash once you get back on the ship on shore excursion days ! We all had a fun, relaxing time and are planning to take another cruise before the year is out.






Answer :
Carnival ships are kid friendly but the overall quality of the ships are not up to most other cruise ships. Our biggest disappointment was the food, about 2 stars for that. The ship also seemed much more crowded than a previous cruise on Celebrity.
