Freedom - Kids Club

[CatherineM]

Would love to hear experiences with the Kids Clubs. My kids are 9 and 7. A few questions:

 

1) Do you register them prior to embarking? For Disney, we registered them online adn they got bracelets during onboarding activities. Is Royal the same?

2) What activities are there for this age group?

3) I heard something about the staff coming to gather kids at the MDR and taking them back to the kids club. Is that offered on Freedom?

4) Please share any experiences!

 

Thx!

Welcome to RCCL. My daughter who is now 10 loves Adventure Ocean. She started participating at age 6 on various ships. We traveled on Independence a couple years ago. It is Freedom's sister ship. To answer your questions,

 

You can't register in advance. There will be an open house on day one where your kids can view the club and you can get them registered.

 

Kids this age have so much fun! They do arts and crafts, play games in large and small groups, sing songs, and practice for the talent show (if they wish to participate). My daughter used to cry when we would pick her up. She didn't want to leave.

 

To do the pick up from MDR, you need to be signed up for family dining time. Some ships offer it and some don't. The first night your kids order and eat with you. The following nights, your server will already have your kids starter at their place (my daughter always has the fruit cup). The server will also take their order first to bring theirs to them quickly. This will allow you to escort your kids to the assigned door at the MDR. They will escort your kids to the club and entertain them for the rest of the evening.

 

The club staff are awesome and very helpful. Your kids might be in different groups due to their ages. They will combine the groups if the sizes are small.

 

Have fun!

Well my kids are now in the "teen" category [emoji22], but when they were that age, they LOVED adventure ocean on all the ships we've taken them on including the Freedom. I have t done the picking up from DR, I'm not even sure that was an option for us, but my kids, especially my son, got bored in the MDR. We tended to let them eat in the WJ then take them to AO while we ate. They would beg to go. It was amazing. They did video game challenges, all kinds of physical games, talent shows, even a pirate night where they dressed up and did a little skit on stage during one of the shows in the theatre, so cute. Your kids are going to have a great time and the staff has always made me feel that my children were in good hands.
