namest Posted April 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 15, 2017 We are traveling with 10 people, 4 of which are children. Is there a way to communicate on board the ship via texting to find each other etc. The kids will be in kids club occasionally and want to know how they reach parents if needed.

spookwife Posted April 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 15, 2017 You have to buy the appropriate wifi package that lets you use your cell phone messaging apps. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-1 Posted April 15, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 15, 2017 we did trip on Freedom with five kids and five adults. The kids club are very good with getting in touch in case of emergency. They have your stateroom number, they have your cell phone number, and if need; they can call via ship loudspeaker. What we did for our cruise was this. The kids were in different kids programs so the main person in charge had our cell phone and cabin number. Counselors come to dining room and pick kids up after dinner and then you have the night onboard to do whatever. Kids programs close between 10 and 11 pm. We left sticky note pads on all adult cabin doors with a pen. If kids came to cabin or wanted to go somewhere else they would jot a note down and leave the time they were they and where they were headed. Also all kids had cabin phone number and could call the cabin from any phone on the ship. Hope this helps; if you have anymore questions just ask.

cb at sea Posted April 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 15, 2017 If the kids are old enough to leave the club on their own, TELL them where they should come and find you, before they go to the next thing. If they aren't over 9, you will have to pick them up. After the 1st day, you should have a good idea of how long they'll enjoy being there. Really, tho....just have everyone tell each other their plans...and you'll be able to find each other without issue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids are too young to go to cabin alone. We were on Disney cruise last year and they have ship phones that are used so everyone can text or call including kids club. Guess we will figure it out. Thanks for the suggestions. Did you enjoy the cruise? We have never done a ship this big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-1 Posted April 16, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Yes we loved the Freedom. With five kids there was something for everyone. Ages were from 2yrs old to teenagers. There is so much for kids; but adults will have alone time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
