Oasis of the seas kids club ages 6-8

[Twilightimp]

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the kids club. as this is our first time with RC I wanted to know what the 6-8 years old room was like..im a bit worried about dropping our son off for more then a few minutes alone. unlike Disney who had ship to shore cell phones in each room. I wont be able to call him and check on him, the idea of him being alone with adults and even kids on that big boat and him not being able to just call me , unlike at school or home , and mind you he is a very trusting and friendly kid worries me a lot. has anyone had there kids in this program? how did you like it? how did your kids like it? please give me all your pros and cons..thank you!

Would suggest posting on the RC board or family board for a better response.

Your child will be fine....adults aren't allowed in the clubs....and he won't be allowed to leave on his own. My goodness...what are you imagining might happen?

This is the perfect age for kids to learn they don't have to be attached to mom or dad all the time. The whole point of raising a child is to let them become independent...unless you want them living in your basement until they're 35! Now is the time for them to know they can handle themselves for short periods of time, and feel proud of that accomplishment.

Most kids in this age group LOVE the club and parents have to drag them away for "family" time! The counselors are fantastic!

Our kids grew up sailing with RCI and participated in the kids programs with the different age groups as appropriate. Our experience was very good and our kids looked forward to the program with each cruise.

 

The facilities are very safe and protected against anyone wandering in or out and are staffed by qualified crew with child development or other related fields and experience.

 

I think you have very little to worry about and I believe your kids will enjoy the program.

thank you !! I didn't worry to much on Disney because I could call, as he is our only child and as any parent does, we all worry ... I just want him to be safe and comfortable first, before I worry about myself! im looking forward to him being able to hang out with kids his age and not have to be with us the whole time.

Try it for a day or two - if your child (or you) aren't happy with the program, then just withdraw from it - no harm / no foul. But I think once you are on board and see the facilities and the numbers of other same age kids involved, it will be good for all of you.

 

Enjoy your cruise! Oasis is a great ship.

Twilightimp, I'm sure that your friendly son will enjoy meeting new friends, the staff, and activities in the Adventure Ocean Explorers group. I've heard many times that people actually miss their kids, as they meet up for dinner. :)

 

EXPLORERS (AGES 6-8)

Space Mud, Fossil Fever, Meteorology Madness! Hands-on science gets young minds churning – along with explorations of the fine arts with Adventure Art and Adventure Theater. Round out the night with dancing through the decades and ice cream for all.

 

Also the H20 Zone waterpark and the video arcade. http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/experiencetypes/category.do?pagename=onboard_cat_kids_teens_and_families

 

Just wanted to mention My Family Time Dining that is offered for the first seating time in the Main Dining Room, for children ages three to 11. Kids enjoy their meal within 40 minutes of seating, before heading to the evening's Adventure Ocean activities. (They are picked up by AO staff). The program starts the second evening you're onboard. After that, you can use it each evening or whenever you wish.

 

You can easily pre-register online for My Family Time Dining right now. Or, visit the Adventure Ocean Youth Program area while onboard to sign up.

 

The Oasis also offers the Dreamworks Experience: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/contentSitelet.do?pagename=dreamworks_main&pagenameMain=main_family&discriminators=0. Have a great cruise!
