Adventure Ocean: Balance Family Fun with Adult Relaxation
Embarking on a cruise with your family can be a joy-filled adventure! If you’re sailing with Royal Caribbean, cruising can include a balance of family time and adult relaxation. The Adventure Ocean Program is Royal Caribbean’s answer to blending the kids’ dream vacation with parents’ need for some grown-up time.
What is Adventure Ocean?
Adventure Ocean is more than just a children’s activity centre. This is a comprehensive program designed to ignite the imaginations of young cruisers. Royal Caribbean has divided the program into age-appropriate groups. This helps make sure that activities are geared perfectly to each child’s developmental stage. From toddlers to teens, there’s a space and a schedule for everyone.
Age-Specific Zones and Activities
For the littlest adventurers, aged 3 to 5, the Aquanauts group offers activities that range from arts and crafts to basic science experiments. Imagine your child’s joy as they transform into a mini-scientist or artist while onboard!
The Explorers group, for children aged 6 to 8, ramps up the excitement with themed parties and more complex projects. These activities are not only fun but also encourage social skills and teamwork.
Pre-teens, aged 9 to 11, join the Voyagers group, where they can participate in challenges and more physical activities, perfect for expending some of that boundless energy.
Teenagers aren’t left out, either. The Teen program offers a mix of sports, games, and social gatherings, including teen-only lounges and discos. This provides them with a sense of independence and the chance to make new friends.
Safety and Supervision at Adventure Ocean
Safety is paramount in Adventure Ocean. The staff members undergo thorough training and hold relevant qualifications. The secure check-in and check-out process give parents peace of mind. Children are safe while they indulge in some adult-only time aboard the ship.
Tip: Visit Adventure Ocean on embarkation day! Bring a piece of ID with you to sign up your child. This will save time when they’re ready to head to the club during your cruise. Parents must present ID each time they pick their child up from the program. Children will not be able to leave the club without parents showing proper identification.
Evening Activities and Babysitting Services
For parents wishing to enjoy a quiet dinner or a show, the Adventure Ocean program offers evening activities, keeping children entertained well into the night. Some kids even fall asleep during a late night movie. Don’t worry…they’ll be safe and comfortable until parents arrive to pick them up. Additionally, for a small fee, the Royal Babies and Tots Nursery provides babysitting services for the youngest cruisers.
The Balance of Family Time
While Adventure Ocean provides fantastic opportunities for children to play and learn independently, making friends with other kids on board, Royal Caribbean values family time. Many activities, from onboard shows to poolside fun, are designed for families to enjoy together.
Royal Caribbean’s Adventure Ocean Program blends fun and education for children with the relaxation and leisure adults crave on a vacation. The next time you’re planning a family cruise, remember the incredible value this program can add to your experience.
