Why port specific packs matter

Your Cruise Isn't Generic.
Your Kid's Journal Shouldn't Be Either.

Each port pack is filled with maps, scavenger hunts, explorer challenges, and real things kids can discover on the island. No screens. No boredom. Just real cruise adventures they can collect forever.

Everything Kids Need
Before the Ports Even Start

But the real magic happens when you add Port Packs — where kids explore each destination through scavenger hunts, explorer missions, maps, and discovery challenges built specifically for that port.

What Cruise Moms Are Saying

"My daughter filled out every single page for CocoCay. Every. Single. One. She never does that with anything. We're already talking about which ports to add for our next cruise."

CocoCay Pack

"I was skeptical a $3.99 add-on would make a difference. Then my son spent 45 minutes on the Nassau scavenger hunt and asked me if we could come back next year. Worth every penny."

JT

Jenna T.

Carnival · Mom of 3

Nassau Pack

"Honestly the best $8 I spent on our entire vacation. Two port packs, two very happy kids, and zero 'I'm bored' on port days. The dolphin add-on made my 7-year-old cry (happy tears)."

Dolphin Add-On

"We've done 4 cruises and always struggled to keep the kids engaged on port days. This changed everything. The Cozumel pack had my daughter hunting for fish at the snorkel spot instead of asking for her iPad."

Dana K.

Cozumel Pack

"Downloaded the free one Thursday night, added three port packs, printed Friday morning, sailed Saturday. So easy. My kids didn't even know I'd planned it — they just thought mom was really cool this trip."

"My 10-year-old has already asked if we can frame her Labadee pages. She rated every zipline, drew the view from the top, and wrote more than she has all school year. This journal is magic."
