Okay, I agree but my kids are teens and know not to use the phone when we are not in the regular service area. We actually put all of our phones on airplane mode when we were at sea. They were only allowed to use them on the ship the day we left the port and the night before we returned. We also used them at the ports because there was free Wifi where we would eat lunch. What can I say, we are all addicted to social media! ;)

off topic, but if we are using free wi-fi while in port in the Bahamas will we not be charged anything? I'm still so confused on how international calling etc works. Thanks!

I -----------------, agree to the following rules and Mom and dad can add rules as they see fit.

 

KIDS CRUISE CONTRACT

This needs to be an exciting and educational trip for all. We want you to have fun, and at the same

time be safe, and courteous to others on the ship. We want to bring you home in the same happy health

condition in which you board the ship. We have set up a few rules that must be followed. Any bending of

these rules, or stretching the interpretation of these rules will result in the remainder of the cruise

spent with none other than your loving mother and dad. Final say will always be your mother and Ryan.

1)The meeting the first night in the teen club is required. Most teens from what I have been reading do not

hang out there but chose that as a meeting point. The first meeting is required as that is when the parents

sign informational papers for each child for you to participate. It is also when and where the introductions

take place of fellow teen cruisers and the staff inside the teen club. This information must be filled out if

you happen to decide to take part in any of the teen activities organized by the cruise ship.

2)Under no circumstances are you to go to anybody’s cabin nor is anybody allowed to come to ours.

3)You will not go through any of the cabin areas/hallways. There is absolutely no reason for you to be in any of

these locations except to return to your own cabin.

4)You will not be playing around on the elevators. For example: pushing the buttons to every floor.

5)You do not accept a drink of any kind from anybody other than mom, dad, or anyone in our group or one that you

have ordered and is brought to you by cruise ship staff. Nor will you leave your drink unattended. If it is

left unattended you are required to order another one. There are sick people out there......

6)You will be required to check in at a specific time set by mom and/or dad and different intervals throughout the day.

You will also tell us where you are going, what you will be doing and who you will be with. This is so if plans change for

us we can find you to tell you.

7)If you are in our cabin alone, you will be required to have the do not disturb sign posted. Not even crew members (room steward)

are to be in there when you are by yourself.

8)You will be required to join us for all evening meals in the dining room. We have the early seating so you will be required to

be back to the cabin and ready to go at the assigned time. Make sure you allow enough time to get ready.

9)If you decide to swim, you will be courteous to the adults in the pool. No splashing or “cannon balls” to be cute.

Be courteous of adults swimming laps for exercise. Stay out of their way.

10)You will not be obnoxious whether we are with you or you are without us. We expect you to be well mannered using please,

thank you, and excuse me at all times. Hold the doors for adults that are passing through at the same time as you,

allow people to get off of the elevator before you step on. Just because somebody is rude does not give you the right to be rude.

11)Absolutely no running on the ship!

12)No butting in line at the buffet. And do not take more than you can eat. If you are still hungry you can go back for more.

There is plenty of food. I’m sure they plan for people with bigger appetites than yours.

13)Absolutely no cell phone!!!I will have mine.

14) No excessive amount of sugar and junk food. (You know what is exceptable and what isnt)

I borrowed this too - thanks!

Security will require you to remove any Christmas lights on your balcony. That's a no no.

Yeah I just read that. No biggy :) I'll have the stars!

I'm second guessing twinkly lights on the balcony. It seems people don't like them and they could get taken down. Would have been pretty though

We are cruising December 8th and I just heard they will be decorating the ship for Christmas at our first port stop. Do you think it's too early to decorate our door for the Holidays? I'm also going to look for some battery or solar powered twinkly lights to put on our balcony railing.

That should say "with our" not with out. ;)

We made reservations at the Holiday Inn. $139 for one night - includes breakfast, parking for the week and free shuttle to and from the port.

You can go to the "Fish Fry" area in Nassau. I was reading about it last night. Awesome local food.

This is our first time cruising with out kids. We will have 2 staterooms. I was thinking about decorating our doors. We will be on the Carnival Pride. I've seen that lots of people so this on the Disney Cruises. Would it be corny to do it on ours? If not, I need ideas (is it anything goes?). Thanks!

I sent an email to Atlantis asking what was available. They told me about the various packages that are available (I have the details on each if anyone wants to know):

1) Aquaventure Package

2) Beach Day Package

3) Discover Atlantis Tour

They also said this: "Day visitors who choose not to participate in the water attractions or tour are welcome to enjoy our fantastic restaurants, duty free shopping and world class casino."

Does anyone know what hotels in Baltimore offer the Cruise & Park package? Thanks for the help.....
