Thank you everyone for your wonderful tips. Lots of great work there.
Taking hubby and 10 yo daughter - she will be 11 next year - on Pacific Pearl on 7th April 2012. Very excited, as the last time I went on a cruise was almost 20 years ago on the Fairstar.
Hubby and daughter have never been on one before.
Can anyone give me tips on the kids clubs? She is on the 11-14 year old group and from what I can see it goes through to 1am :eek:. Are there any shows that she can come to with us at night or are they all off limits?
Also cruise cards for kids - can they only spend money on it when they are with a parent? I assume the kids club don't have them using it without parental permission?
Thanks :)
When I went on my first cruise (2009) I was 15 and LOVED the kids club (TEEN HQ+). The youth staff are great and soon become your bestfriend.
It does run through to 1am, however from 10.30m onwards its usually just a movie playing and only a few people stay.
Shows: Almost all the shows are for all ages, except for some of the smaller (comedy type) shows in some of the bars. So you are more than welcome to take her to them.
With the cruise card, parents can put a limit on there children's. Say you put $50 on your daughters card, and when she reaches it you can decide to increase it or not.
