Carnival Cruises and Kids

Carnival Cruise Lines introduced "Circle C" for the 12- to 14-year-old age group, with new clubs, a full schedule of activities and staff. The program complements Camp Carnival, for younger kids, and Club 02, for 15- to 17-year-olds.

The new Circle C facilities include a dance floor with a high-tech sound and lighting system, large plasma screen televisions for movies and music videos, and a touch-screen jukebox. Events include sports, water games, late-night movies and ‘swimming under the stars’ pool parties.

Circle C facilities are already in place on Carnival Legend, Pride, Victory and Valor with Carnival Imagination, Inspiration, Liberty, Fantasy, Paradise and Glory scheduled to be completed by the end of 2008. The balance of the fleet is to be completed by 2010.

Carnival expects to host 600,000 kids fleetwide this year.
