Getaway: will (any) Kids Club staff speak German?

[RegBarclay]

Hi all,

 

Apologies for posting the same question twice, but my last post did not receive any replies...

 

We will cruise Getaway in January and I was wondering if some staff members in the Kids Club will speak German, or are the games and activities designed in a way that children who do not understand English will have fun anyway?

 

Our sons are 4 and 8, so they will also get separated and I am worried that the language barrier could be a problem for them.

 

I know that playing with kids whose language they do not understand is never a problem on a playground... but it might be different in a Kids Club where the activities/games are structured as I understand and there might be some explaining involved...

 

This will be their first cruise, so I guess they will not spend a lot of time there and it would probably be no problem for them to just not go at all. On the other hand I read all the posts here how much the kids love spending time in the club and it would be nice for us to have some kidfree time as well ;)

 

Any input is appreciated!

 

Regards,

Since you were short on replies on your first post, maybe you could ask your personal cruise consultant or call NCL directly? That's would I would do as I'm sure the staff changes from time to time

Which date will you be sailing? We are booked for the 31st and have a 5 year old daughter who speaks Dutch and Turkish. German is familiar for her but she doesn't speak it.

I think you might want to call and see with NCL what they usually do for this situation. I am sure there is a plan for this.
