Cruises are a fantastic option when planning a vacation with kids. Your family can experience multiple destinations in one voyage. You never have to unpack or repack, worry about transfers with children in tow or wonder where your next meal will be. Everything is planned out for you.
Some of the newer cruise ships launched recently are so large they are literally floating cities with so much to do on board you might not even experience everything there is to see and do in a week long voyage.
Carnival Cruise Lines is the industry leader with 24 ships, operating 1,500 voyages annually, calling on ports from Cozumel to Alaska. The fleet’s largest and newest ship, the Vista, will accommodate 4,000 guests when it launches in 2016. That’s a ton of family cruise options.
Here are 10 kids activities you will find when sailing with Carnival.
1. Dr. Seuss Green Eggs & Ham Breakfast
Have your kids ever wanted to try Green Eggs & Ham after reading the story? Carnival Cruise Line gives them that opportunity on select mornings while at sea. Adults can opt for the Fox in Socks Steak and Eggs while the kiddos munch on Horton’s Cereal Crusted French Toast, Truffula Tree Pancakes and yes, even Green Eggs & Ham. This breakfast experience comes with special surprise visits from story characters who interact and pose for photos with guests.
