For parents of small children! Going on our first carnival cruise in march, any suggestions or tips?

I hve only been on the Conquest - we cruised last week with 2 kids. Our ship was very kid friendly. Camp Carnival and Club O2 were great. They gave us a fold out brochure on the first day with all the activities - dates and times listed- kind of like the Carnival Capers which the adults get in their rooms every night. They were ( in our opinion ) totally safe. Shore excursions - we did golf one day, snorkeling one day, and the beach another. ( Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel). All were enjoyable days, be prepared for the kids to crash once you get back on the ship on shore excursion days ! We all had a fun, relaxing time and are planning to take another cruise before the year is out.
