Answer 1

I know people who had went on a couple of Carnival Cruises and really enjoyed themselves. Most of the cruise ships have movie theaters and different other types of activities that your teenagers can do. Just get ahold of the cruise's activity personnel and ask them to give suggestions that would be best suited for them

Answer 2

Decent. Didn't like the fact that Carnival uses salt water in their pools (Princess uses fresh water). Great staff. Weak drinks. The beds are very comfy.

Answer 3

Great source for any info you need about cruises is the "Boards" at CruiseCritic.com.

Answer 4

We won't take another carnival cruise.  I've been on two of them and this last one was so horrible that we will never even consider them again.  Most of the people on board were very middle america never been out of the country or traveled type.  The food is basic sizzler food.  While there were some nice guests, many were complete trash and their Children were completely out of control (as were the parents).  Basically the crowd was drink Budwiser, get drunk, and act like a frat boy or a COPS featured 'actor'.  Portions of the ship stunk like raw sewage.  The staff ranged from nice & competent to rude and flakey.   Carnival is the cheapest cruise line and so it attracts a certain type of traveler.  Whether that's a rowdy young adult or a never been out of Iowa couple, it just wasn't for us.

Answer 5

i haven't been on a carnival cruise personally, but my momma and dad used to go all the time. from what they tell me, they are so much fun, and there's plenty for kids to do. they didn't get into any specifics (i guess they didn't want to make us jealous that we didn't get to go), but i would definitely go on a carnival cruise given the chance.
