What sorts of activities are there onboard for kids?
Know this: you’ll have fun on your cruise; theyll have even more fun! Every line offers a unique mix of creative events and activities. Of course, there’s always some variation depending on the ship’s itinerary and the number of kids in the various age groups onboard. But here’s a list of activities that most mainstream cruise lines offer: • Age-specific activity rooms with toys, games, puzzles, puppet theaters, “ball pools,” arts & crafts, face-painting and movies. • Splash pools, kids-only whirlpools, water slides and pool games. • Scavenger hunts, computer lessons, pajama parties, talent shows, karaoke parties and learning labs. • Shoreside excursions: On selected itineraries, some cruise lines even offer shore excursions designed specifically for kids. Disney, of course, adds its own brand of magic to the mix. Norwegian offers kids a “circus at sea,” Royal Caribbean includes oceanographic “labs,” and so it goes. The point is, your kids will NOT be bored!
