smalltownmomwa Posted February 1, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2013 We are going on a cruise in May with our 2 kids, age 9 & 7, and were wondering if it was worth buying the Nickelodeon Bedtime Kit. Has anyone gotten that for their kids? Loved it? Waste of $$? Thankss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayhooper Posted February 1, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I am curious about this as well because my 3 year old daughter is an enormous Dora fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Sailor Posted February 1, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Well, we sailed on the Jewel for our daughter's 16th birthday. I purchased it for her & the note read your never to old for Sponge Bob. When we arrived back from dinner, her bed as made up with the blanket & pillowcase. (That was when she first saw it.) She loved it. One night we came back to the room & the blanket was a peacock towel animal. :) The funny thing is she is now 18 & still uses both the pillowcase & uses the blanket while watching tv. One of her favorite items in the kit was the flameless candle. It is "clap-on clap-off" operated. She has it on her desk by her bed. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalltownmomwa Posted February 11, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Bump! Has anyone else purchased this? Sent from my XT897 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegallyBlonder Posted February 12, 2013 #5 Share Posted February 12, 2013 My Mom purchased these for my sons (ages 5 and 3) on our 1/18 Gem cruise, and we thought they were wonderful and worth every penny. It is entirely Sponge-Bob theme, so no Dora (at least that I know of). It came with a blanket and pillowcase, which our room stewards used to make their beds every night, as well as a cool, decorative stand-up nightlight and cups with lids to use during the cruise. It also all came in a sponge-Bob back-pack style drawstring bag. The boys LOVED it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstewart1075 Posted February 12, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I purchased this for my then 3 year old daughter on the Jewel (she was also a huge Dora fan at the time), but she liked Spongebob too. They made the bed up for her everynight and she loved it. The package came with great stuff that we still use and she's almost 5 now. Definately worth it for us!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalltownmomwa Posted February 12, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Thanks everyone. I will keep thinking about it. I like the concept and the included items, I just really dislike Sponge Bob. :). My kids like him though.

I ordered the set for her prior to going on the Jewel precisely because she can bring it on the Breakaway and I'm not sure they will offer it on the Breakaway. She loves it! I'm already imaging her bed made up with Spongebob next summer!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like you would be able to order it though no matter which ship you are sailing on. I would try calling and see if they would send it to your home address.

pete98 Posted May 19, 2013 #17 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I am really disappointed other characters are not offered with this. We find Sponge Bob inappropriate and do not let our children watch the cartoons. We would totally purchase these kits if other characters, like Dora & Diego, were offered.

smalltownmomwa Posted May 19, 2013 Author #18 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I agree actually. I ended up choosing not to purchase the kit as i ha e such a dislike of spongebob. Sent from my XT897 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a call saying it wasn't offered. It has recently come up as an offering. I can't stand Spongebob, but my son loves him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trvl_fanatic Posted May 19, 2013 #20 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I don't really like spongebob either (bit on the annoying side). though my daughter did like the app when she was younger (we didn't let her watch the actual cartoon). as she calls our upcoming Gem cruise, the "Nick Jr" cruise, we did buy the set anyways, just to go with the theme. hopefully she's not disappointed that it's not dora. we also got the bon voyage room package (actually got it as a suprise for DH), but figured DD will like it as well :) this i think we be the 1st cruise she actually remembers. (she doesn't recall the 1st one obviously as she was only 20mo at that time, but she's so excite for this one!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcsmith Posted May 19, 2013 #21 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Piling on in the hopes NCL is reading. Would love to buy this but we don't let our kids watch the Sponge either. Give us Dora or Diego . . . or one of each since we have a boy and a girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare skittl1321 Posted May 19, 2013 #22 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Rather than just post here, I hope parents will email NCL to ask for other nick characters. I find sponge bob inappropriate for most children too :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vondofife Posted May 19, 2013 #23 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I am booked on the Getaway next October and the Spongebob bedtime kit is being offered to buy on myNCL. Definitely available on Getaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baflagg Posted May 19, 2013 #24 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I just checked into the kit this week for our Breakaway cruise next month & was told it is available but only for purchase on board. Hope this changes as I prefer to pay for as much as I can upfront prior to boarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find sponge bob inappropriate for most children too :( I'm intrigued. I've only ever seen Spongebob a couple of times, and it seemed quite harmless to me. Why do people think it is inappropriate?
