So let's just examine
what we are talking about when we say "endless choices"... Disney is the
mother of all fantazmagorical (our word) packages for combo adult and
children Cruises. First know that Disney has wisely designated adult-only
areas and children-only areas plus plenty of all-family areas to enjoy all
together. If you have little ones ages, 3-4, children can train to be
Mouseketeers, practicing their marching, and watch a video clip of the 50's
Mouseketeer show opening. And of course, Mickey Mouse himself will come to
see how they are doing and lead them in a Mouseketeer march! Children ages,
5-7 can hang out with a colorful Pirate who fills little heads with
mesmerizing stories of adventurous buccaneer tales with historical emphasis
and if they are lucky, Captain Hook will make a surprise visit and have a
chat with his old friend the Pirate!
These age-specific
programs are created by Disney's Oceaneer Club with the added luxury of
giving all parents pagers so that everybody will be in touch at all times!
If you got teens...they will meet tons of friends at a New York-style coffee
house complete with music, games and a huge TV screen. There's even an
Internet Cafe primarily for teens 13-17 they will feel they are definitely
with their peers speaking their same language! In addition for teens there
is a sports equipment area called, "The Glow Jam" with games, and music to
listen to. Teens can also experience Karaoke at it's best practicing to
become future rock stars and showcasing their talents. All children will get
to have photo opportunities with the famous Disney characters roaming around
inspiring giggles and so much fun.
You have a little
more to think about when bringing an infant. But this can be accomplished
very successfully. Disney allows infants, as young as 12 weeks with baby
sitting services provided in their nursery. Here are things regarding your
baby to think about and discuss with your Cruise Director..getting a crib
confirmed... in advance! Discuss also crib bedding, bathing facilities,
medical staff, any special needs?...and of course, baby sitters. Some Cruise
Lines do not want infants at all and each have their own age limit and their
own set of services and policies.
When Cruising with
small children visiting a port successfully might be better if you book
yourselves into a shore resort where bathroom and eating facilities are
conveniently available. From that home base you can take short tours, walks
and feel less stressed about food and perhaps a spur of the moment basic
some-thing-or-other that you left back on the Ship.
Carnival and Disney
seem to be the stars of the kid fantastic fun and care programs, however
that is changing as we speak. Norwegian, Celebrity, Holland and Royal
Caribbean are also big winners in making the whole family extremely happy
and the thing to know (we think of Las Vegas when we say this) the
competition keeps driving already spectacular Cruises for children and
adults to even greater heights. Each year tops the one before! So don't
dream of leaving the kids behind. There's no reason to anymore!
