NCL Kids program questions

[Snuggle26]

I would so love to hear all those who have kids in this age and how they handled the Junior Sailors programs ect. Me and my husband have decided to take a cruise and picked this line because they allow kids aged 2 to join the programs. Were thinking about going on the NCL Star. Is this program free and then the group sitting hours cost? When they let you leave your kid in the group sitting during port days, if your kids not potty trained yet, will they still let you leave them so you can go on shore or will you have to stay on the ship to change diapers. Any and all experiences would be great to hear.
Thanks so much

There has been a lot posted on this board - just go back a few pages.

You can read about my experience on page 3 (last post on january 9th). Look for a thread entitled
"Back from NCL Jewel with 2 year old. Do you have questions? "
It was not on the NCL Star but may give your some answers.

You will have a great time - the kids program is excellent!

? for anyone who has been on the POA. On the half port day on Kaui, do they offer babysitting in the morning? Would like to go kayaking and DW wants to get a pedicure without the kids.

We're going on the Dream tomorrow with a 24 month old. We're still going to ask if we can hire the babysitters for a day a port (just a few hours) and we're hopeful, but not counting on it. I'll let you know.
