Kids on Carnival- favorite things to do?

[MaiTaiMary]

Besides Camp Carnival and the pool/water slide, what do your kids like to do the most while on board? :)

[cruizinisthebest]

Miniature golf, arcade, a trip or two to Cherry on Top. Joining in on the line dances. They might enjoy seeing the Hasbro game show. My kids did all of that in addition to camp and the water stuff.

We'll be in the Miracle. I don't think we'll have "cherry on top" or the Hasbro show. :(

What are some other favorite things for kids to do on board? :)

My sons love the sports deck - basketball and volleyball. On one cruise, Patrick Ewing Jr. was aboard and on the sports deck. Middle son was thrilled.

[MaiTaiMary]

does the Miracle have a sports deck?

All three of my kids love the family-friendly comedy. They also enjoy the song and dance shows, even the ones I thought were not that impressive, if the costuming isn't a problem for you. I think the Miracle also has giant chess, which my older two enjoy.

Mini-golf, eating ice cream, watching glass elevators in atrium ( 3 years old)

I can't believe I forgot to mention unlimited ice cream, which we allowed pretty much any time except right before meals. DS, a skinny preteen, had 42 ice cream cones in 7 days.

Mine are big now, but when little, all the things mentioned, plus ping pong. They also have the outdoor movies at night with blankets and popcorn which I see a lot of kids at.

Hahaha! Sounds like my boys!

My kids- age 4 and 6 on last cruise- loved ordering cheesecake from room service every night and eating it right before bed, late night movies with popcorn on lido, and the water slides. They can't wait for next cruise in March for these reasons (now age 7 and 9)

The Miracle plays movies outside? I thought it didn't have a big screen.

Push the buttons by and in the elevator.

mine loves going to see the hasbro family game night show and he loves the "build a bear". I figure at any time now he'll outgrow the build a bear.

 

He also loves participating in the competitions they have around the ship, even some with the adults. He's 9 and been on about 6 cruises.

Never been on the Miracle, but according to the deck plan there is no Cherry on Top. And I know it doesn't have the big outdoor screen.

 

Nevertheless OP, you have gotten some good suggestions. Not sure if the arcade was mentioned. They can also participate in the deck parties and some of the competitions onboard. My kids love to do it all. Then they also enjoy having down time in the cabin watching t.v. or taking a nap. There's plenty of options for the kiddos.

Definitely depends on the age. My kids are 7 and 3 and my 7 year old loves Camp Carnival, the arcade, and the sports deck (we cruise on the Magic). My 3 year old does not like Camp Carnival but she has always liked going to the pool or simply running around the boat and meeting new people!

according to my 3.5-year-old DS, the best part of cruising was eating banana split while watching the sea....

I just remember it being a candy store with a lot of selection.

My son (8) would say the watersides and my daughter (11) would say chocolate molten lava cake (she loves getting dressed up and eating in the MDR).

Also, both my kids would also say the ice cream machine and the fact that when we are on a cruise they get ice cream at least once a day :cool:

[MaiTaiMary]

This is great! :D My kids are getting so excited!!

Learning how to do towel animals, they love reading the fun times before bed and highlighting what they want to do the next day.

 

There's so many things and every cruise they find something new!
