Explorer or the Seas - Adventure Ocean

[Jackies0812]

:)

I'm am traveling on the August 1, 2004 RCCL Western Caribbean Cruise on Explorer of the Seas. My husband and I have traveled on RCCL twice in the last two years WITHOUT my daughter. Now my 8 year-old is joining us. I would love to here from other parents in regard to the ADVENTURE program. Below are my questions.

1. My daughter is extremely tall (4'11) and she will be 9 on August 13th. Will Adventure Club allow her to bump up to the 9-11 group?

2. When do you "sign up" for Adventure Club? Is there an orientation for the child and parents?

3. When kids are in Adventure Club what freedoms do they have? Parents are given beepers, right?

4. What did you like best about Adventure Club? Did you use Adventure Club at night? Did you find that your kids were excited about going to Adventure Club?

5. Did you leave your child on the ship while you did an excurion at port? How did this go?

6. Do the counselors take the kids swimming?

Thanks so much in advance. I would LOVE to commicate via email if possible. My email is wrasse1@hotmail.com.
