Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm against it so I'm gonna be I'm gonna be clear about this I'm very against it

I personally probably wouldn't bring a kid under 10 either

I think the ideal age would be Dan they're older right yeah and or older I would feel more comfortable at twelve

we've seen kids in the casino - yeah I don't agree with smoking cigarettes yeah and holding them and working a slot machine

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider using Camp Carnival for kids aged 2-11
Use night owls program for late-night childcare (10pm-1am) for a fee
Think carefully about bringing very young children (under 5) on a cruise
