We're taking our first cruise on Carnival too. Last fall we took Princess, but we didn't bring our teen along. This second cruise is more for her and her girlfriend whom we're inviting. I don't know from personal experience, but from everything that I've heard and read Carnival is one of the better ships for teens and younger children. I am hoping they are right!! How old are your children and where are you sailing to? We're sailing on the Carnival Elation on May 24 out of San Diego to Catalina Island and Ensenada. If you want to keep in touch, I'd be happy to let you know about our cruise when we return.
