Does Majesty have Children's program?

[jimc_usa]

I have a 3-1/2 year old grandchild. Are there any programs and what are they? What do they charge?

[melika091900]

the kids program is free ... if you have them there at night for the babysitting they usually charge 5$-6$ an hour from like 10p-1am

I got this from NCLS website

 

 

 

And who said cruises aren't for kids? It's our middle name. NCL and NCL America offer what you want, what your kids want…good times all around, for all ages, at all times, just the way you like it. Plus, complimentary activities happen every day—whether your child wants to paint, have a pajama party or put on a show. And just think of the new friends they'll make—you might even have to schedule time just to see them.

The Youth Staff

We like our Youth Staff because they are carefully chosen from Education and Recreation programs at their University. Your child will like our Youth Staff because they are fun. Actually, they are experts in fun—they design specialized activities for all ages. And they'll keep a constant watch over your children to make you happy. Not to mention, each staff member is CPR and First Aid certified, so your child will be safe and secure at all times plus they're trained in communication and confidence building too.

Specifics & Restrictions

A few things you need to know before the good times begin:

A parent or guardian is required to register kids ages 2-17. After registering, kids can participate as often as they choose.

Your child will be assigned to an age group based on his/her age at sailing. If they have a birthday while at sea, only then they are moved up. Sorry, no exceptions can be made—this helps keep your child safe.

Kids under 13 may not sign themselves in and out. Only a designated adult over 21 may sign them in and out of Kid's Crew. Until our Youth Staff gets to know you, have a photo ID ready for drop off or pick up.

We're flexible. Our activities and programs are subject to change to accommodate a child's needs.

Sorry, we are not able to have one-on-one care within our Youth Programs.

Leave the flip-flops and sandals in your cabin—we play hard and require proper footwear.

We are not able to change diapers or pull-ups, but we leave you with a beeper to alert you to do the duty. Beepers do not work ashore, so parents will have to stay onboard when their children are in our Youth Program.

Your child not feeling well? Sick children need to see the medical center before coming to the program. There's no charge if your child is well and is allowed to join the activities.

Please let us know if your child has allergies or note any medications on their registration…we like to have snacks and will need to know.

Want to involve the whole family? Great activities are offered throughout the cruise including Pizza Making. Just remember, a parent is required to attend with a child to participate.

Because our Youth Staff is not included in onboard gratuities, cash gratuities are divided among the staff and greatly appreciated. Individual gratuities can be made through the onboard Reception Desk.

Please don't hesitate to call with questions at 1.800.327.7030 or speak with the Youth Program Supervisor once aboard.

 

Kid's Crew Safety and Emergency Information

Relax—it's your job to have fun and our job to keep your kids happy and safe. Every child in our Program receives a Kid's Crew bracelet with their name, stateroom number, emergency station, allergies, and medications listed. If an emergency does occur, our Youth Staff is responsible for the mustering of the child in their care and bringing them to safety at the Child Muster Station. There, you can claim your child. All unclaimed children will be taken to the secondary station and distributed to their assigned lifeboat stations.

Group-Sitting for Kids

Need a little more “me” time? We offer more supervised fun for the kids. The “Late Night Party Zone” and “Port Play” are both group-sitting services for kid's ages 2-12. The Youth Staff runs these activities in the Kid's Crew Facilities and all the requirements and procedures apply.

The “Port Play” is offered from 9am-5pm and we accommodate those parents booked on Shore Excursions. Sign up is 8pm the evening prior to the desired “Port Play”.

The “Late Night Party Zone” is offered nightly from 10pm-1am. The charges are $5.00 per hour, per child, and $3.00 per hour for each additional sibling in the same immediate family. Charges are applied directly to your onboard account. Sign up is 8pm the evening prior to the desired “Late Night Party Zone”.

A reminder, if your child requires you to keep a beeper, a parent or guardian must stay behind on the vessel during either activity, as our beepers do not work off the ship. Also, no private or in-cabin babysitting is available on any NCL or NCLA vessels.

Our Youth Staff is waiting for you to sign up now…your kids will have a blast!

They do, but it is somewhat limited, especially while in port. We were on the majesty last August to Bermuda. My kids were 2 1/2 and 4 1/2 at the time. On sea days, it was generally open 9-12, 2-5 and 7-10 (no charge). However, on the port days, including the last day when we needed to be back on board at 11:30am, nothing opened until 2:30 and then was only open for a 45 minute WITH PARENT activity. It then closed again until 7. There is a nice kids pool on the Majesty, which we took advantage of quite a bit when the play room was closed.

Are you specifically referring to the Majesty or just kids' groups in general?

[El-Bac]

I was on the Majesty the week of Presidents' Day and it was infested with kids... yes there are kids programs.

No, I was asking melika091900. The Majesty isn't listed as one of the ships she's been on so I was wondering if her comments were about the program on the Majesty or just programs in general.

[jimc_usa]

The port and play seems to be only for parents booked on excursions. True or false?

Anyone can sign up for the port play. It costs $5 per hour for the first child $3 for each additional. If your child is still in diapers you are not allowed to leave the ship.

Thanks for clearing that up.
