Carnival Legend-Fun For The Whole
Family
With a high-tech game room, expansive
indoor and outdoor play areas, a corkscrew waterslide, and dining
options that include special children's menus and 24-hour pizza and ice
cream, kids of all ages are sure to have a blast aboard Carnival
Legend, the newest "Fun Ship" set to debut in August 2005.
The numerous family-oriented amenities
aboard the Legend are the latest additions to Carnival's complimentary
fleetwide "Camp Carnival" program, which caters to the
350,000 kids expected to sail aboard the "Fun Ships" this year.
Spacious, state-of-the-art facilities, enthusiastic youth counselors and
a full schedule of fun-filled activities, offer the ultimate family
cruise vacation.
Expansive Kids-Only
Facilities
The focal point of Carnival Legend's
"Camp Carnival" program will be Noah's Ark, a
1,800-square-foot recreation center encompassing three distinct areas:
an all-ages play area stocked with a variety of toys and games, a
computer center featuring the latest educational and video game
software, and an arts-and-crafts lab with spin and sand art and
candy-making machines. A series of "tunnels" will connect the three
areas, offering kids a unique way to travel between the different
venues.
Located one deck below Noah's Ark is
Gigabytes Arcade, a high-tech video game room featuring
the latest video and arcade games.
Carnival Legend will also house an
outdoor play area with a schooner-shaped palyhouse, jungle gyms and
other playground equipment. Four swimming pools, including a children's
wading pool and a cascading waterslide will be featured, as well.
Kid-Friendly Dining
Options
Like other Carnival Legend guests,
kids will enjoy a wide variety of delicious dinign options - everything
from 24-hour pizza and ice cream and freshly grilled hot dogs and
hamburgers in the poolside Unicorn Café, to special
children's menus featuring chicken nuggets, pepperoni pizza, and other
favorites available in Truffles, the ship's formal
restaurant, Children's menus will also include games such as mazes,
tic-tac-toe and word finds to keep kids entertained during mealtimes. As
part of a new pilot program, kids will have the option of dining with
their parents in the main restaurant or with the youth counselors in the
Unicorn Café each night.
The Legend will also feature a special
turn-down service providing kids with freshly baked chocolate chip
cookies the first and last night of their voyage, along with the
"Fountain Fun Card," which, for a one-time fee, provides guests
under age 21 with unlimited soft drinks for the duration of their
cruise.

Jewelry-making, photography
workshops, late-night movies, pool parties, scavenger hunts, talent
shows and finger-painting sessions are just a few of the wide variety of
fun, supervised activities that will be available to kids
morning-'til-night. All activities, conducted by the ship's highly

(age 16-18) will have their own activities schedule coordinated by the
ship's social hosts.
