mconthehighseas Posted January 17, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I don't have an answer, but I wanted to thank the OP. I had no idea that RC is no longer working with fisher price :(:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usckatieh Posted January 17, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I'm hoping they still have the Fisher Price race track to CoCo Cay too but I kind of doubt it. I'll let you know if we get to stop there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alisabeth Posted January 18, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 18, 2014 We just embarked on the Oasis today. We were able to get a nice bag of clean fisher price toys for our infant. They will still continue the lending program but they are not promoting it. You can only get the lending toys if you ask for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on AOS in March and hope the toys are still available then. Though it doesn't take much to keep my 14 month old entertained. Things that aren't "toys" are usually bigger hits anyway. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EviesCruisin Posted January 25, 2014 #11 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Oh bummer! I didn't realize they are no longer working with Fisher Price, either. Please come back and let us know how the toy exchange works & anything else of note. We sail 2 weeks from Sunday. :o I'm hoping they still have the Fisher Price race track to CoCo Cay too but I kind of doubt it. I'll let you know if we get to stop there.

Rather, Royal Caribbean will augment the Fisher Price toys with toys from other brands as well. A statement from Royal Caribbean summarizes the change, "As of January 1, 2014, Fisher Price will no longer be the official partner of the Nursery or our Babies and Tots program. Our guest may still find Fisher Price product onboard but it will be complimented by various other brands." Royal Caribbean will discontinue the following programs as a result of the end of the deal.

Akitkat118 Posted February 4, 2014 Author #19 Share Posted February 4, 2014 thanks for the feedback so far - keep it up everyone. Looks like they are still changing things and working out the kinks so let's keep everyone informed in case we need to pack a little heavier.

zenworks911 Posted February 11, 2014 #22 Share Posted February 11, 2014 We just got off FOS and they had toy bags for kids in nursery. We got one and it was great! 2/2/14 cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EviesCruisin Posted February 16, 2014 #23 Share Posted February 16, 2014 They have them in the Royal Babies & Tots Nursery. There is a binder of options and you can check out a bag of your choice, I think there were 9 options. Ours had a little piano, a fisher price wallet, a musical stacking toy and some drums (the "music" set). It was great for our little one so we kept it all week. You could exchange it though, if you wanted and others were not lent out. They were due back at 10 pm on the last night. It comes in a blue mesh bag and there is a laminated picture of the contents so you can make sure you aren't missing pieces. No racetrack at CocoCay though they did have an Adventure Ocean drop-off point "Where the racetrack used to be" There are still some Fisher Price type things - little people on the walls, some little people activity books/menus/etc. Our kids (19 mos and 4 years) had a wonderful time in the kids club. They were great. Where did you get them at? Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leezer Posted February 17, 2014 #24 Share Posted February 17, 2014 My son is 2 1/2 (will be 2 months from 3 when we go). Do they have toys for his age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingTeacher19 Posted February 17, 2014 #25 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hmm adventure doesn't have a nursery so I wonder if the toys will still be available. Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
