Thanks much, I told my daughter and she was like nope, my teacher has told us about Santorini and Rome so I would like to visit those cities, now I am hoping she will be ok walking around on the port days!

Thank you, I didn't even know about this cruise line so had totally skipped that. Will have to check it out

Thank you all for your great replies. My kid was so excited to see that some of these ships (Royal Odyssey for example) has these many fun activities going on for kids. Since we have never been on a cruise, I was telling my kid that we have maybe 1-2 sea days so she won't be able to just do kids stuff all day for 9 days and when we get to the ports, we have to do sightseeing, are you sure you won't get bored. She said she would like to do this but knowing she is still 9, would you say we will have enough time to do those kids activity on the sea days (on a 9 day trip to Rome, Turkey, Greece)? Thank you

I guess I should stick with the RC cruise line as they have more kids activities. My 9 year old likes waterparks, iFly maybe, bumper cars, arcades...

I have never been on a cruise ship but both my nine year old and myself would like to give that a try! It would be outside of any holiday or school break and the places we would like to visit are: Italy, Turkey and Greece. I did some research and looks like MSC, Carnival (Miracle and Legends) and Celebrity Cruise have 10-12 days options that goes through the same countries. My kid and I would like to have fun activities to attend during on-water days, activities such as movies, water slides or similar activities. Was hoping to hear from anyone who has older kids and have done a similar trip to see which cruise line would work better for us. Thank you in advance!
