Carnival refers to its kids' program as Camp Carnival. Camp Carnival is
a year-round, fleet wide program that provides daily fun-filled and
age-appropriate activities for children between the ages of 2 and 11
years old. In addition, there is supervised "free play" and evening
babysitting service (for a nominal fee). Scheduled activities are
planned for the following age groups: Toddlers (2 - 5 years old),
Juniors (6 - 8 years old) and Intermediates (9 - 11 years old).
Carnival also offers programs for teens between the ages of 12 and 17.
Circle "C" is for the 12-14 age group and features games, parties and
other supervised activities. Club O2, for the 15-17 age group, provides
teens with amazing games, music, dance, movies and sports.
Here is more information and a sampling of activities offered for each
age group:

Children also get their very own menus, featuring all their favorite
foods. Hot dogs, chicken nuggets, pizza, macaroni & cheese and spaghetti

Club O2 (ages 15-17)
From the moment they step onboard, Club O2 teens are part of a cruise
experience unlike anything else. Every activity and event -- like
basketball, volleyball, ping-pong, pool parties and high-energy dance
parties -- has been specially created with 15-17 year-olds in mind.
Club O2 daytime activities are designed to be a little more relaxed.
Teens can hang out with their friends while watching a movie, listening
to the latest music, playing video games or joining karaoke jam
sessions. Carnival has even set up teen-only shore excursions so young
adults can enjoy the sites and sounds of beautiful ports with their
peers.
Many Carnival ships feature a dedicated lounge designed just for the
Club O2 program. These hot spots feature comfy seating, video monitors,
a state-of-the-art dance floor and an area to enjoy Coca-Cola products
and other non-alcoholic specialty drinks.
Club O2 Directors are hired and trained to spark the interest of the
teens and get them involved. Each director brings their own unique style
to Club O2. Their motivation and dedication to the program ensures every
teen's cruise experience is unlike any they have ever had before. They
are hosts, entertainers and often DJ's for the teens.
Activities for Club O2 may include:
- Board Games
- Card Games
- Music Hangs
- Theme parties
- Lido Deck Activities
- Reality Games Shows
- Trivia and scavenger hunts
- Pool Parties
Younger teens will only be allowed in the onboard disco until 10:45pm.
After 11:00pm, any guests under the age of 18 must leave the disco. The
Camp Carnival staff will coordinate late night activities for guests
17-years-old and younger. Activities may include a late night movie,
Karaoke, "Swim Under the Stars", etc. Program activities and age groups
are subject to change.
Carnival would like to note that Camp Carnival is not a "daycare". The
program is designed so that families are able to enjoy quality family
time together, and yet also have the choice of being with peers of their
own age, whenever desired.
Camp Carnival Counselors
Carnival knows that every parent wants the best for their children.
That's why they've hired only the best youth counselors to run their
Camp Carnival program. Every Camp Carnival counselor is either
college-educated in a related field, or has professional childcare
experience, or both. Carnival also performs a thorough background check
on each and every one of their youth counselors. And every one of the
youth staff is fully trained in CPR and basic first aid. Camp Carnival
counselors are qualified and dedicated to making sure your children are
safe, happy and having the time of their lives.
