Is Camp Ocean open for 2-5 year olds?

I keep reading about it being closed for under 5 but don't see if it has reopened. Can anyone confirm?

Where are you reading it?  Carnival had it closed during COVID i believe but there are no restrictions in place since COVID protocols ended that i am aware of and Carnival.com doesnt say anything about it being closed?

 

The littlest little ones — ages 2 to 5 —join the Penguin^® colony and engage in activities like Musical Icebergs and Ocean Bingo… even learning a thing or two about buoyancy!

Yes it’s open. My kids were just there in January on the Mardi Gras and loved it. Can I answer any specific questions for you about it? My twins were 4 on our cruise.

Good to know! How did your kids like it? I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old and this will be their first cruise. Was the programming engaging for them? I also understand that they do not go to any water activities during camp...is that right?

I would suggest on embarkation day to go to their open house. You can take your kids in and show them around and kind of ease their minds and yours. 
The carnival app will have listed what they’re doing and at what time. My kids usually went in the evenings after dinner. There was always some sort of activity or craft planned. They came back to the cabin almost every night with something they made etc. 

I don’t believe they do any water activities and honestly at that age group I don’t think they take them anywhere. They stay in the camp location. 
There were a few occasions I went to pick my kids up and the activity they were doing wasn’t done yet and they begged to stay, so I hope your kids love it too!

camps are not opened the first night.   They do not do any swimming as that is a safety issue,  No food or drink allowed in the camps     Water is provided      You will be given an activities sheet.     these are done in 30 min intervals.,   Pick and chose what you want to do,    Camps are closed for lunch  (i dont remember the time-- and it opens about 2    dinner is closed from 5pm til 7pm and it becomes paid at 10pm
