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.

Morning-'til-Night Activities, Convenient Babysitting Services
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 trained youth staff, will take place from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., and will be divided into four different age groups - toddlers (age 2-5), juniors (6-8), intermediates (9-11) and teens (12-15). Additionally, older teens (age 16-18) will have their own activities schedule coordinated by the ship's social hosts.

When parents want a night to themselves, babysitting will also be available from 10 p.m to 3 a.m. Conducted in a "slumber party" format in the Noah's Ark playroom, babysitting will cost $6 per hour for the first child and $4 per hour for each additional child in the same family.

Stroller rentals, featuring single and double strollers, will also be available. The cost will be $6 per day or $25 per week, and strollers may be used aboard ship and during port calls.
