Dear Vacations To Go Customer,

Carnival is offering our customers discounts of up to 87%. Plus a reduced deposit from $50 per person and shipboard credits of up to $50 per cabin on select sailings. The upfront rate includes your stateroom, meals and snacks and onboard activities and entertainment. Book by October 31. See dates and prices.

Carnival is all about fun vacations at sea and ashore, especially for families! A Carnival cruise features day and nighttime entertainment like stage shows, musical performances, and deck parties, plus an IMAX theater, WaterWorks, Seuss at Sea, family-friendly dining, and an amazing kids program.

Carnival's kids program is designed to group children by age, separated into five groups, with special activities custom-tailored to entertain your kids at sea.

Camp Ocean Penguins (ages 2 to 5 years)
From finger painting to cartoon time, arts and crafts to puppet shows, toddlers are sure to have a blast. Plus, Carnival provides babysitting services in the evenings (for a nominal fee), so Mom and Dad can get in some "quiet time," too.

Camp Ocean Stingrays (ages 6 to 8 years)
Junior cruisers will enjoy Spin Art, dodgeball, video games and more, and have the opportunity to participate in fun events and make new friends from all over the world. Carnival also arranges "Children's Only" dinner on most nights, and on port days, Carnival will provide lunch for children whose parents are ashore.

Camp Ocean Sharks (ages 9 to 11 years)
From pool parties to ship-wide scavenger hunts, young cruisers will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of fun-filled, age-appropriate activities.  Plus, when the sun goes down it's Night Owls time -- fees apply, but kids get to stay up late having fun while their parents also enjoy themselves well into the night.

Circle "C" (ages 12 to 14 years)
The ultimate teen program includes awesome activities, like dance parties, sporting events and water slide races. Plus select ships feature a Circle "C" Lounge, where movies, music videos, a touch-screen jukebox and gaming pods are available.

Club O2 (ages 15 to 17 years)
Club O2 directors are hired and trained to spark the interest of teens and get them involved. Their motivation and dedication to the program ensures every teen's cruise experience is unlike any they have had before. They are hosts, entertainers and often DJ's, exclusively for your teen.
