GTMoose Posted October 26, 2012 #26 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I'll add my two cents to say our daughter loves to go to Adventure Ocean. It is very well run and organized, and the people that work it are happy and enthusiastic. It's very clean, and the kids are always busy. I would highly recommend this. Your child will have a great time, and you will have some quality "adult" time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoCCC Posted October 26, 2012 #27 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Sounds like a good place to ask this question...tipping in Adventure Ocean....I know they have quite a few helpers...how do you handle tipping them?Lou I think they split all the tips. I usually bring some cash and give it to person in charge and ask them to share it with the staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liberiben Posted October 26, 2012 Author #28 Share Posted October 26, 2012 And just to make sure I have everything. All I need in a certified Birth Certificate, no picture ID for her(we have passports for us)? I would hate to be turned away at the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingrightalong Posted October 27, 2012 #30 Share Posted October 27, 2012 This is interesting I thought they had to have a passport also? Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctcruiser1721 Posted October 27, 2012 #31 Share Posted October 27, 2012 As an FYI, I invested in the passports for my kids. It just seems so make things go a tiny bit faster. Not worth it for some I would imagine but for me, when I'm already having a stressful travel day, I take a "tiny bit". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liberiben Posted October 27, 2012 Author #32 Share Posted October 27, 2012 We plan on getting her a passport, but this trip was booked last week and leaves in a month, so it may or may not come. We planned on waiting to let her cruise next year, but this deal on the Liberty was too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onessa Posted October 29, 2012 #36 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Be certain to bring the standard OTC meds because you will likely not be able to find them on-board or in port. At this age DD liked the small cans of Play-Doh (the party sized ones) a small plastic sheet (I'd cut a 5x7ish peice out of one of those "disposable" cutting boards) at the table, on a bus ride, etc. When she'd run out of stuff to do with it I would challenge her to "make a triangle" "make a flower" etc. We'd also do a daily visual scavenger hunt. I had a list of stuff and would draw (very) crude pictures. Some of the items would be port-specific others generic. When we were in Venice, for example, we had a statue of a winged lion, a NY Yankee's baseball cap, a gondilier's hat, an orange backpack, a canadian flag, a basketball hoop, and a pigeon sitting on someone's head. It would keep her looking around (trying to find that darned basketball hoop!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanner10 Posted November 10, 2012 #37 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I think they split all the tips. I usually bring some cash and give it to person in charge and ask them to share it with the staff. I am taking my son and his 4 year old (my youngest grandson) on their 1st cruise on the Liberty of the Seas in 3 weeks. Since this is my first time cruising with a child, I never even thought about tipping the Adventure Ocean staff!! I know tipping is a personal thing but could any of you steer me in the general direction of how much to tip?? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
