Andy4star Posted July 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hi we're going on a cruise in august on Dream and taking our 9yr old Autistic son with us. He is high functioning but does suffer high anxiety at times. has anybody experience of the kids clubs and kids facilities with Autistic Children ? Thanks in advance Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom52 Posted July 20, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I don't think there is much at all for kids on the Dream, it's not really the sort of ship with lots of things to do as it only has one sea day people don't tend to spend much time on board in my opinion.

Auntiebones Posted July 31, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Not specific to the Dream, but our slightly older autistic son loves cruising. There is a written timetable to follow for mealtimes and entertainment. We let him know which trips we are doing in advance and find out as much about the trip or port before we leave England. We stick to the same restaurants and meal times. (make friends with your waiter and he will reserve the table for you each night.) Staff will try and sort out any problems. Ours had a melt down over being questioned about his age when asking for wine at the captains night. A nearby manager stepped in and sorted it out. Couldn't ask for more. Our son had joined us on the Majesty, Spirit and Dream. The only downside was that he insisted on trying every drink on the AI bar list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
