Is there a way to download books on to the iPad for my 8yo to read (or read alouds for my 5yo?) that don’t need the internet? My kids are gonna whine by the pool if we aren’t constantly entertaining them haha. Is it even a good idea to bring the iPads with us to common areas like the pools etc.? Are there lockers on cruise ships? Maybe we will just bring some old fashioned paperbacks but I’m curious if anyone has figured this out. Thanks!

Hi we are sailing next week 4/2-4/9. First time cruisers. Cn anyone recommend a good snorkeling excursion the kids will enjoy? They are 5 and 8. Close to shore/shallow is better. Do we have to stay within our cruise line or can we book via third party? We are sailing on Norwegian Cruise Line Prima. Thanks!

We are taking our first large-scale cruise (we have done some live aboards pre-kids 🤣) and our first time in Bermuda. We are taking Norwegian Cruise Line's Prima in 10 days (4/2-4/9)! We have our heart set on the night time Bermuda Triangle excursion. Can anyone recommend another day snorkeling excursion with the kids? They are 5 and 8 and new to snorkeling. We prefer snorkeling from shore when able. We were looking at the Caves & Waves or Restless Naive Catamaran Sail & Snorkel or Glass-Bottom Boat & Snorkel Tour. Wish they were longer, we'd love to be out the whole day! Also can anyone recommend dining reservations we should make ahead of time? Maybe a place or two the kids will be impressed with. Or any other reservations we should make now? Does the Kids Club fill up? Also do we need to book a transfer to Horseshoe Bay Beach transfer ahead of time? I was thinking there would be locals queing up for transfers when we got off the boat for cheaper. Thanks!
