8 Reasons Carnival Cruises Make the BEST Vacation For Families With Kids

We met a couple with two young children on the Carnival Vista who told us, "We have no idea where our kids are right now but they can't go too far." I remember experiencing my first taste of freedom on a cruise ship when I was 11 years old. My normally strict parents felt comfortable enough to let me explore the ship on my own with the friends I made. Cruising as an adult and seeing groups of kids running around the ship at midnight brought back so many fond memories.
