Royal Caribbean's far-reaching Adventure Ocean youth program caters to all age groups - 3 to 17 years old. It was an overwhelming feeling, for me when thousands of kids partook in the specially conducted activities onboard the Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Oceans. It was fun all-around, and my kids loved to be on the cruise during the festival season.
Activities onboard were grouped as per the age of the kids. The 3 to 5 year olds known as Aquanauts had a number of beach games and hula-hoop contests to enjoy. Special story time sessions were arranged, with creation of fish kites via the ship's partnership with Crayola. There was also arrangement for adventure science with lots of hands-on science experiments. Kids were really amazed by the photo-shoot with the captain.
The 6- to 8-year-olds called as Explorers had adequate opportunity for exploration in the Explorer room. Kids also participated in cartoon drawing, colouring, and board games. I found the group meal sessions to be most fascinating, held at either Windjammer or Johnny Rocket's. The dance classes held by the Royal Caribbean dancers were quite beneficial for the kids.
There is a provision on Royal Caribbean cruises that children younger than six months are not permitted to cruise. I know not the reason for this stipulation; well I consider this as providing rest time for lactating mothers. Considering 6 months to 3 years as Royal Babies and Royal Tots is what I liked most. I really appreciate the cruise company for providing tiny tots their due share of recognition onboard. There are demands on parents to accompany their little ones with participating in onboard activities.
