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 & 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. 

EXPLORE PLACES AS A FAMILY

With ships leaving from 26 different ports, 14 in the U.S. + 7 international cities, and sailing to more than 200 destinations in nearly 60 countries, Carnival is all about fun vacations at sea and ashore. Everyone vacations differently. Some go crazy for adventure and others just want to chill. On a Carnival cruise, fun is what you choose. Known for Caribbean cruises, Carnival sails to exotic and amazing destinations sailing out of homeports in Miami FL, Port Canaveral FL, Galveston TX, New York, NY, Charleston, SC, Baltimore, MD, Mobile, AL, New Orleans, LA, Norfolk, VA, and more. Whether you’re dreaming of soaking up the sun in the Caribbean, exploring the blue waters of the Mediterranean, savoring fresh tacos in Mexico, or whale watching in Alaska, Carnival has something on your bucket list out of homeports!
