We sailed on the Wonder in November
with two kids ages 9 and 7. We registered when we boarded and toured the facilities. You can drop off/pick up at anytime during their operating hours but they may reach capacity (this did not happen at any time during our cruise).
From my kids point of view they did not enjoy going to camp as there weren’t specified activities during the operating hours, it was always free choice so there was nothing to look forward to. The sports activities were always the same and the crafts were very similar if not the same. I think they went a total of 3 times all week.
To compare, we were on the Carnival Mardi Gras earlier in the year and they loved camp as the day was planned in 30 minute blocks with different activities. We would go through the app and pick and choose which time slots they would attend based on the activities they wanted to try and would usually go twice a day.
While they didn’t enjoy camp, on the Wonder, at 5:15 daily there was always a Family Activity (for kids and parents/guardians)….family Bingo, scavenger hunt, puppet show etc.….those activities were really fun and my kids enjoyed them. They also had Family Silent Disco in one of the lounges in the evenings…kid friendly music and atmosphere!
Give the camp a try as every kid is different and enjoy different things.
Have a great cruise!!
