Yes! Spouses and children are welcomed to join you! While you enjoy the workshops and events, your children will be well cared for in Camp Carnival. Theyll have the time of their life participating in events just for kids. Camp Carnival activities are provided at no additional cost to you. Of course, there will be plenty of free time as well, allowing you to enjoy the ship activities, gourmet meals and the beautiful islands with your family. Please call us for third and fourth person rates. Please be advised that third and fourth-person cabins are very limited, and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis only.
