I just noticed that the Splash Academy info has now changed to include ages 3 to 12. https://www.ncl.com/why-cruise-norwegian/family-cruises/youth-programs We don’t even know if our grandkids will be interested but at least it now appears to be an option.

Thanks. All are “house trained.”

Thanks, HuliHuli

My wife and I are taking our kids and grandkids on a 10 day Caribbean cruise this February on the Gem out of NYC. The grandkids are ages 2, almost 5, 7 and 10. There will be 10 of us in total. We have 3 family balconies booked, 2 adjoining and 1 nearby all on deck 10. We have sailed with NCL many times and on the Gem several times, but we have never cruised with young children before. We are wondering if anyone reading this can offer tips regarding dining, activities and anything else. For example; is it realistic to expect to enjoy eating together at a table for ten in either of the main dining rooms? In one place on the NCL website it states that children 3 to 12 may be dropped at Splash Academy but in another place it say 5 to 12. Do you suppose they might make an exception for a 4 year old who would be 5 in 6 weeks accompanied by his 2 older cousins? Any advice on these questions or any other subjects involving children would be gratefully received.

Yes, booked through TA, however, I was notified quite promptly regarding the daily service charge increase recently, both via TA and NCL directly.

Wow, nice of NCL to let me know (not). We are taking our kids and grandkids, ten of us in all. I wonder when we will be officially notified. I’m not too impressed that I’m finding out this way, but thank goodness for these boards and those of you that keep us all up to date.

What is the change to the itinerary Feb 17-27? I’m booked on that cruise and have not received any notification of a change.
