This friday Im going to Ensenada Mexico on the Paradise ship on Carnival cruise lines and I have no clue what Im gonna do. Im 13 years oldd so I feel like im hopeless. ): I heard and read about the Circle "C" thing but then again I heard its boring and Im a shy person so im not all that great at making friends. Any advice on that? And If anyones been to the circle c thing whats it like? please dont copy and paste all that stuff from the website cause its no help.
Answer :
You are pretty much guranteed to have a lot of fun! The first time I went on a cruise I was your age and I had the same feelings as you did: will I be bored? Will I meet new people, etc, etc, etc. However, after going on the cruise (I did not go with carnival but the cruise lines are very similar), I found that there is nothing to be worried about. Just like you, I am a shy person and I am shy when meeting new people. The day that the ship set sail, I went to the teen club and when I entered there were other kids that greeted me and talked to me. The activities were mostly interesting and the counselors were REALLY cool. If I did not like the activities, I would go someplace else with a friend that I met at the teen center.
I hope this helped and I wouldnt feel hopeless if I were you, after that first cruise that I went on, i have been wanting to go SO bad on another cruise. Its really fun and you will enjoy yourself!
Answer :
Plenty of activities and you will be hanging out with kids your age. You will have fun on a Carnival cruise. We always do.
Circle "C" (ages 12-14)
Circle "C" is the ultimate Teen Program for kids ages 12 to 14 years old. Cool activities, awesome facilities and lots of rad new friends to add to their e-mail lists. Now young teens have a place of their own to connect with friends or simply chill. Circle "C" is the place to be for parties, games and other supervised activities created just for them (think dance parties, movies and more).
Teens must be registered with Circle "C" in order to participate in the activities, but it's up to them how many -- or few -- they choose to attend. Teens can come and go as they want, with activities running until the early morning hours. For teens that love to dance, Carnival has great news. Every night aboard a Carnival cruise our 12- to 14- year-old guests will have the opportunity to "mix and mingle" at the shipboard dance club to the latest hits. Some ships feature a Circle "C" Lounge, where movies, music videos, a touch-screen jukebox and gaming pods are available.
Activities for Circle "C" may include:
* The latest game consoles
* Talent Show
* Dance Parties
* Late Night Teen Hang and Late Night Movies
* Video Arcade Tournament
* Scavenger Hunts
* Karaoke
* Freaky Food Fear Factor
* Camp Carnival Survivor Challenge
* Make Your Own Pizza
* Game Boys
* ExerSeas Activities - Including games like Dodgeball, Basket Ball and Mini Golf
* Sea Notes - Including games & activities like Name that Tune, Teen Idol and Musical Jeopardy
* Water Color Activities - Including activities like Mono-Printing, The Great Art Robbery and Decoupage Boxes
* Spin Art, Sand Art and Candy Art
* T-Shirt Decorating

Answer :
NO!! no, this is from Carnival's web site:
For those guests who want the option of staying connected to the rest of the world, we proudly offer access to the internet in our onboard Internet Cafés and wireless networks using the ships own satellite connection. The Internet Café is open 24-hours a day and features private terminals with the latest flat panel computer monitors. Guests will have the ability to send and receive e-mail, chat online and access the full internet. Guests can also access their own e-mail account through AOL, Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, etc. Guests will have the option to create their very own temporary e-mail account with our "CruiseE-mail"™.
Wireless internet access is available across our entire fleet. Depending on the vessel, we have either limited wireless access in and around the shipboard internet café and select public areas or a complete "Bow2stern" wireless network. The complete "Bow2stern" wireless network is currently available on Carnival Imagination, Carnival Inspiration, Carnival Pride, Carnival Legend, Carnival Victory, Carnival Valor, Carnival Liberty, Carnival Freedom and Carnival Splendor.
The "Bow2Stern" network allows our guests to enjoy Internet access from literally anywhere on board, including all public areas, lounges, bars and pool decks, guest suites and cabins. To take full advantage of this feature, guests should bring their personal laptops along with them, as the number of laptops available for rent onboard is limited. In addition, this network provides supports the latest Wi-Fi enabled iPhones, PalmPilots and Blackberrys.
Internet Café Price List
We have several options available to guests wishing to use the internet service. the below options are available. Please note that the internet pricing options* are identical, whether an Internet Café terminal is utilized, or a laptop.
• An initial one-time Activation Fee of $3.95 applies to each user.
• A basic time charge of $0.75 per minute ("Pay-As-You-Go") is available. Minutes are rounded to the next full minute.
Discounted Time Plans
Discounted Time Plans offer guests the opportunity to enjoy a lower per-minute rate. These Time Plans do not have to be used in a single session and can be used anytime throughout the cruise until debarkation. Please note that there is no refund for unused minutes on these Time Plans and upgrading selected pricing options is not available. Plans are subject to change.
Cruises less than six days in length:
• 30 minutes for $16.50 ($0.55 per minute)
• 60 minutes for $24.00 ($0.40 per minute)
Cruises six days in length and longer:
• 100 minutes for $55.00 ($0.55 per minute)
• 250 minutes for $100.00 ($0.40 per minute)
Wireless Network Cards and Laptop Rental
Guests can rent a Wireless Network Card -- to connect their laptops to the ship's wireless signal -- at the rate or $10.00 per day. Optional insurance can also be purchased for $3.00 per day. These fees are in addition to the Internet price plans. A limited number of laptops are available for guests to rent with a Time Plan purchase for an additional $10.00 per day, with optional insurance is also available for $3.00 per day.
*All internet access charges will be billed directly to the guest's onboard "Sail & Sign" Account. In addition, when using a Café terminal, files can be downloaded as "read only" but cannot be saved, since a floppy disk cannot be inserted into the PC's. Users who bring their own laptop can read and save files without restriction.
FINALLY, it has been my experience that cruise ships' internet service is slow and unpredictable, especially when the ship is moving and more so when the ship is rocking. My guess is its difficult to keep a steady satellite signal when the ship is moving and/or rocking. So find an internet cafe in a port; just ask the cabin steward and/or wait staff, they know where because they find and use them.
