mogens Posted April 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Suggestions on cruising with granddaughters aged 11 and 8. I know first choice would be Disney. A little out of my price range. Second or third choices? And ideas on "kid sail free?". are they as good a deal as they seem? Thanks,Mogens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SbbquilterUT Posted April 1, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Royal Caribbean has been a favorite when our kids were younger - plenty of other kids to meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglovestocruise Posted April 2, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Took our granddaughter on Oasis of the Seas. She absolutely loved the kids club, several times she skipped dinner in the MDR to have dinner with the kids club group with the new friends she had made. She also spent hours each day on the flow rider doing both bogie board and full surfing. Some nights the she was in the kids club well into the late night. She was 12 at the time. Only issue with kids club is that at age 10 and above they can sign themselves in and out when ever they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted April 2, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Royal Caribbean or Carnival...or NCL will fit the bill. Actually, 9 is the age they allow to sign in and out of the clubs (but that's up to you!).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only issue with kids club is that at age 10 and above they can sign themselves in and out when ever they want. Agree that Royal Caribbean would be a good choice. Oasis class ships have so much to see and do. Would recommend Voyageur or Freedom class too. As far as signing in and of Adventure Ocean, ages 9-11 can sign out, but you have to sign a permission slip allowing them to do that; it's not automatic. Twelve year-olds are allowed to sign in and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartgv Posted April 2, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Make sure to read this thread on the "First Time Cruisers" board - https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2619108 It concerns the parental permission requirements and a problem the poster had. They happened to be on Carnival, but the same thing could happen on any cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
