InsideCruiser Posted July 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Looking through a recent compass for the 9 night Bermuda/Caribbean cruise on the Explorer. Our kids are 6, 7, and 9. Some of the days have family activities planned for 5:30. Day 3 - Family GagaBall Day 4 - Family Crazy Tag Day 6 - Family Fun Hour Day 7 - Family Scavenger Hunt Day 8 - Family Scrapbooking Seems like a strange time for a family hour. Wouldn't most families with young kids have early dining @ 6:00? Amy experience with these activities? Are they worth planning dinner around? We are MTD. Thanks, IC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, IC We completely missed these on our last cruise, but they could be planned for when the club is closed (between 5-7pm). But you are right, it would completely mess with early sitting and MFTD, which is scheduled for early sitting too. But, we may definitely try to do some of these on our next trip. They sound fun. Our son will be 5, so he might enjoy these kinds of activities. We will have MTD this next cruise, so could plan around that.

K&Rs Mom Posted July 17, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Yes they have to be when the club is closed because they use that space. I think as many families use My Time as have early seating now, so that makes it more manageable, or they might eat elsewhere that night, feed kids in WJ before 7pm club drop off..... We've done the scavenger hunt: super fun and we won silver medals that the kids still have. It doesn't have to be all-or-nothing either. You can go only to the nights you're interested in. Your 5yo might not like scrapbooking, but my 10yo will; my 12yo won't like crazy tag but your 5yo might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL...yes, I cannot see him sitting through scrap booking either, but the scavenger hunt and tag, he might like. He hated MDR last cruise, so we mostly ate in WJ - so, that is definitely an option for us. Also, we might just feed him at WJ, drop him off, and then go the MDR or specialty dinning ourselves.

We'll stop by the Family Farewell Disco at 7:30 in the Chamber on the last night as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
