SavvyMama Posted October 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2014 First time cruiser - We are sailing the Getaway next week and I'm trying to figure out clothes and packing for our three children. What do most kids wear to the kids club? I am thinking I will put them in their swimsuits in the mornings with tshirts/sundresses layered over so that they will be ready to go to lunch and then straight to the pool/waterslides without us having to go back to the room after we pick them up for lunch at Noon. Then after pool later in the evening head back to the room for showers and change into more dressy dress/shorts/collared shirts for dinner and after dinner activities. So . . . two outfits a day. Is that about right? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2B&Z Posted October 10, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 10, 2014 That's exactly what I do for our boys. They each have 2 bathing suits, so they never have to put on a wet bathing suit...which makes them cranky :). For the kids club, I always send them in T-shirts and shorts, with socks and running shoes. There are sports and cooperative games which will explicitly state that running shoes are required, though I've never seen anyone turned away. As for dinner clothes, I find we can get at least 2 nights out of shorts and a few shirts get 2 nights of wear.

russianmom Posted October 11, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 11, 2014 My kids (boys) wear bathing suit and tshirt during day Shorts shirt and sweatshirt at night. Depending on activity scheduled they wear crocs or sneakers/socks They prefer the buffet for dinner so they can get there right at 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tggrtoes Posted October 11, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Yep - sounds right. Just off getaway today... DS asked repeatedly to go to splash academy. T-shirt and shorts is standard! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LrgPizza Posted October 11, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) T-shirt and shorts. I wouldn't send the girls in sundresses, unless you want them to wear shorts underneath. These kids PLAY, not just sit around looking pretty. My son only did waterslides 2 different days, and never got in the pool other than embarkation day, so he never wore swim trunks around. He'd have on his shorts and tennis shoes, so he was already ready to hop on the ropes course. Edited October 11, 2014 by LrgPizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acmama901 Posted October 11, 2014 #6 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Just off the Getaway. ..our 6 and 8 year olds loved the Splash Academy! The counselors are awesome!! They have the kids remove their shoes when they enter, but have them put them back on for some games. Also, just a note, the last night was a pajama party....kids are welcome to come to the evening session dressed in pj's.

Buford T Justiice Posted October 11, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 11, 2014 don't forget plenty of socks. I think in Splash the kids most often take their shoes off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavvyMama Posted October 13, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Thank you so much for these answers. I'm so happy to hear so many loved the Splash Academy - our kids are really looking forward to playing and having fun there (and my husband and I are looking forward to some couples time while they play!)

English101 Posted October 13, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Splash Academy was awesome this past week on Breakaway! My girls 7&9 had a blast and we were all thrilled that they were in the same age group. They usually wore shorts/tshirts. I didn't like the idea of them being there in dresses. But some girls did. My girls usually wore flip flops and never had an issue. I really liked pj night, last night! I packed up before getting ready to go to dinner. It was wonderful being able to pack everything except clothes for today. I'm sure this is a big reason why they do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missourianluvscruising Posted October 13, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 13, 2014 We were on the Getaway a few weeks ago, kids 4&8. They were shorts and tshirts to Splash Academy. They loved it! Begged to go back and cried when we were leaving the ship. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
