PGHProducer Posted March 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I’ve cruised Royal many times (and will be going diamond after our planned cruise on Oasis this summer) The difference is our last cruise was our honeymoon, and now we have kids! So we are taking our 4 year old on his first cruise! He’ll be diamond after one trip. Lucky guy! ANYWAY… I know full well that things can and will change by this summer.. but has anyone done Adventure Ocean with this age group with current Covid protocols? Just wondering what to expect, will he have fun, etc. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted March 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I haven't seen any reports since the Feb 25 protocol change, but prior to that it was not fun for kids since they were treated like disease vectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean… my two kids both go to daycare. They get colds after the 2nd week of school and are sick until June. So…… they kind of ARE vectors of disease. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so in post-covid Adventure Ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted March 6, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Based on that they're still treating kids like they have covid. Two different statements about social distancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottyb1708 Posted March 7, 2022 #7 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Just off Oasis and had kids in the 3-5 and 6-12 program. Kids wear masks, not really any social distancing. They all loved it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be on Harmony in 2 weeks and we are wondering if AO has increased capacity from a few months back when it was limited. Did you have to sign up for spots ahead of time? Was it difficult to get the kids in as often as they wanted to go? Any input on current process appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said if you had an excursion booked, you would somehow get priority access, not sure how that works though. We had trouble getting some of the kids in the 6-12 program 2 nights, but we were slow getting them there. I think as long as you get them in before the 8:00 dinner rush, you would probably be OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great-that sounds a lot easier (overall) than other reports I’ve seen-thanks for reporting back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example when we went in November it was either 5 or 6 hours for the entire week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky981 Posted March 7, 2022 #12 Share Posted March 7, 2022 As recently as last month each kid was given a red circle that they had to stay within. Sounds like those days are over at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No limit on hours on our sailing, may change during a high kid occupancy sailing (holiday, spring break, etc). There were 3 sessions you could put the kids in, first come first served. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
