Kids' activities on the Diamond Princess

[merela]

I collected all 4 kids' patters from the Diamond when I was on it 2 weeks ago. Keep in mind that this program was adapted for Alaska's inside passage. Diamond's Mexican sailing will probably have a different focus, i.e. they wouldn't do "paint a bear" or "create an iceberg".

-------------

I have no idea what some of those games are--what the heck are Spoons?!

 

Anyways, I didn't post every single item listed on the Kid's patters, but these will give you some ideas of whether your child will likely to do in kids' clubs.

 

If your child make friends easily, they'll have tons of fun on board.

 

HTH.

I went on the sapphire princess (the sister ship of the diamond) and i absolutely loved it!!! i cried when i had to leave because i met the coolest people ever and we all had so much fun! i still keep in contact with all of them and i actually visited one of them from florida, and i live in oregon. I am 15 and the teen center on the ship was awesome! if you have teenagers i highly recommend the sapphire princess, it was the most fun i have ever had!
