No One Does Family Fun Like Carnival
If you're considering a Carnival cruise, then you’re close to making a great vacation choice. Bring everybody along for the fun ride to islands, exotic spots, and more… on a ship packed with amazing things to do for all ages, food that satisfies everyone, and cruise destinations that are perfect for opening young eyes to the world around them. But the best reason is that having fun together simply makes the fun more fun, and the family memories are a sweet bonus you’ll enjoy forever. That's why a Carnival cruise is the best choice for kids and adults!
Rooms designed for families
Whether you keep it cozy or let the kids have their own space, Carnival has stateroom options practically designed for your family! Some staterooms sleep up to five and feature flexible bedding configurations. Some rooms come with a view, some with balconies, and some even have an extra half-bathroom — nice! And some connect to the room next door, for the greatest family flexibility. And we can’t leave out the Family Harbor staterooms on select ships, which add nautical decor and family-favorite exclusive perks like access to a family-only lounge, kids eating free at most specialty restaurants, and more.
Fun and flexibility for families
Fun happens for everyone on a Carnival cruise, but that doesn’t mean everyone’s idea of fun has to be the same. That’s why variety is key for families, and a Carnival cruise has fun for kids, teens, and adults… plus the flexibility to enjoy things together or do your own thing for a bit. Catch a movie, play Family Feud with the kids, some family-friendly competition at SportSquare™, test your ability to make your way around the ropes course, have a splashing good time at WaterWorks™ waterpark, strap in for BOLT®: the fastest and first! rollercoaster at sea, or discover enriching experiences from partners like Dr. Seuss and even the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
Family dining and kid-friendly food
How can we be sure you’ll love the food on a Carnival cruise? Because there’s such amazing variety, from casual munching to sit-down dining, fancy stuff, and beyond. Some examples: steakhouse, sushi, family-style Italian, tacos, burgers, and more. Even the pickiest eaters can find new favorites at every restaurant, and great options are included in your cruise fare! Plus, the food is as flexible as you are hungry. Room service is always on the menu, 24 hours a day, and delivery is just a quick call away and the pizza station stays open until 4 a.m. — just in case you show up! — and our soft-serve machines don’t quit until the clock strikes midnight.
Discover Your Key to Paradise™ at Celebration Key
Now — for the first time ever, Carnival is building a new destination from the ground up nestled on the south side of Grand Bahama island opening in summer 2025, designed exclusively for Carnival guests. It’s perfect for adults, families with kids… everybody who appreciates fun and natural beauty. What you’ll find there is just like Carnival’s onboard vibe that folks love. When your ship pulls up, the vacation possibilities are expanded with unique island-style fun, relaxation, and adventure spread across 65 acres and five “portals” to explore. Each portal is distinctly different, made for another side of Carnival fun… plus get ready for unforgettable experiences like a mile-long white sand beach, largest freshwater lagoons in the Caribbean†, local Bahamian flavors and shopping, an adult-only beach club, plus excursions and more.
