We’ve teamed up with Carnival to give away a fantastic nine-day holiday for a family of four. Carnival is the world’s largest cruise line, with 24 ships in its family-friendly fleet. The newest is the Carnival Sunshine, which sails from Barcelona and calls at Marseilles, Rome, Naples, Dubrovnik and Venice. Passengers can hop off at each destination and experience the sights. Back on board, there’s something for everyone, with a wide range of restaurants, entertainment and activities. The kids can make a splash in the Waterworks or race each other down the 330ft Twister slide. The more adventurous can tackle a ropes course, while mum and dad can relax in the adults-only Serenity area or health spa. Evenings are just as entertaining, with West End-style shows, the Red Frog pub, a comedy club, cocktail bars, a casino and a nightclub.
