The kids club does end at 10. You can however, if you pre-arrange it, have them stay from 10-12 for $5 per hour, per child. My understanding was they would watch a movie, or do something quiet. We didn't end up doing that, since we were usually pretty tired by that point from our day. We had dinner at 8 and usually weren't done until 9:30. The nice thing is, you do get all the kids events for the week on the day you disembark. Therefore, it does help to plan your activities. There were 2 nights where the kids could eat with the counselors and their friends, and we agreed to this for 1 night. We kind of like eating with our kids in the dining room, especially since it doesn't always work at home, so it is important to us to make this work. We would have missed our dinner completely on 2 nights if we had early seating because we weren't back from our shore excursions in time. Let me know if you have any other questions! I'm happy to answer them.:)

We just got back from the Golden Princess and we had late dining at 8 pm. My recommendation on this is if you do traditional dining, the kids evening programs go from 7-10, so if you have late dining, that doesn't work very well. There were two nights where our son wanted to go to the kids program rather than eat dinner, especially since he only ate buttered noodles anyway. We did like the traditional dining because we got to know our wait staff and the kids liked having their chocolate milk waiting for them.:)
