Was NOT told it was a Gay cruise and we are not Gay. Had a terrible time and tried to make the best of the situation. Many of the Clubs were closed off at night for private parties and comedy shows were tailored to the clientele. Lido deck activities were not for the faint hearted.What a nightmare.

We've been on Carnival 6 times and only found the 4-night cruise to be a "party cruise" All others were longer and in my opinion, had a completely different demographic. Regarding children, we cruise with our children and grandchildren and find Camp Carnival (programs for kids) to be exceptional. Our grandchildren look forward to going everyday. They even have children's activities while you are in port so you can take adult excursions. Yes, you might see teenagers wandering around on their own but never noticed anything that upset or offended us. As a matter of fact, we've scheduled another family reunion cruise for next September on Carnival.
We've only cruised Royal Carribean once and did notice that the passengers were an older crowd than Carnival. We're in our 60s and don't mind being around the younger generations - it makes us feel young. As a matter of fact, we also enjoy seeing grandkids at the town squares.
