geegee1 Posted January 14, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) The "Family Cruises" board will probably be the best place, I know it has helped us out a lot. But one piece of advice bring a power strip if any of your children are bringing devices with them that will need to be charged.

Kingofwylietx Posted January 14, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 14, 2016 -Have fun and wear sunscreen. -Have at least one evening where it's just you two (kids at the kids camp). -Have one evening where you keep the kids up late with you eating snacks, watching shows, exploring the ship, and being silly.

Kdiamond55 Posted January 14, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 14, 2016 This was the age my kids were when we started cruising with them (they are now almost 13 and 15 and have been on quite a few). Go to the kids' club the first day and sign them up. Even if they never end up going its worth it. My kids always loved the kids' club and would beg to go all the time. Especially at that age group it is lots of fun. Don't stress too much about routine, let them have fun. Great ship for their first cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquarianne11 Posted January 14, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Going on the Escape with our kids in September! Any advice???? We were on the Escape last month with our 8 yr old. She was able to do the ropes course, mini golf and the several slides. The aqua racer slide is fantastic. She loved the Splash Academy and was in the 6-9 yrs old group.

kchiumento Posted January 14, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Go to the kids club and sign them up in the afternoon before the big rush at 7pm. Then at 7 you can just drop them off while all the other suckers have to wait in line to sign them up before dropping them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids love it there so much, that's where they want to spend most of their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyrHeaven Posted January 15, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 15, 2016 My son is 5 and will be going on his 4th cruise at the end of February. I agree, the kids clubs are wonderful. My son never wants to leave! When they close for lunch and dinner, he wants to eat quick and head right back. The staff is outstanding. Make sure to send them on the first night. It's crucial for making their friends in the beginning. Also, if there is registration setup in the cruise terminal, register them before you get on the ship. If not, register once you get on. Don't wait until 7 as it can be a bit chaotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
