We travelled on Royal Caribbean’s ‘Voyager of the Seas’ cruise ship with our 4-year-old Kidsetter on route to Fiji.
After boarding the ship, locating our cabin, attending the safety induction, it was time to kick back and relax ! We joined the party on Deck 5 – ‘DreamWorks Sail Away Extravaganza’ including friends from Madagascar, Shrek & Kung Fu Panda. A terrific way to get our cruise started !
We checked our Kidsetter into the Aquanauts Kids Club each day which is for ages 3 – 5. Open from 9am to 12pm, closed between 12 – 2pm, open 2pm – 10pm. There is also a ‘Late Night Party Zone’ from 10pm – 2am. (Our Kidsetter goes to bed early so this has yet to be an option for us.)
The Kidsetters have busy schedules of activities set out for the day; How to Train your Dragon; Bugs, Bugs, Bugs; Space Night; Kung Fu Panda Training; Zoo-rific; Calling all Super Heroes; Balls, Balloons & Bubbles; Colour Craze; Rock n’ Roll; Under the Sea; Artistic Kids; Camp Aquanauta; It’s a Bouncy World; Get Physical; Silly Sports; Princesses and Knights; Enchanted Fairytales; Building a World of Fun; Chocolate Factory; Trains; PJ Night; Big Kid Games; Happily Ever After; Pirate Night; Adventure Ocean Prepare to go Live; Under the Big Top; Artic.
Thereis always plenty activities for us too, however we tend to use the time to relax, swim, enjoy the live music and excellent dining experiences.
The restaurants and dining facilities are world class. Various options are available; Café Promenade,Windjammer Café, Sapphire Dining Room, Giovanni’s Table, Chops Grille and Johnny Rockets. Our Kidsetter is addicted to sushi so Izumi Japanese Cuisine was especially a great success.
We attended various Meet & Greets with stars from DreamWorks movies such as Princess Fiona, Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, Puss in Boots, Alex the Lion and Gloria the Hippo.
We love taking our Kidsetter to live theatre and find cruise shows a fabulous way to expose him to the artform. They are included in the cost of your cruise fare, usually short in duration and easily accessible making it ideal for Kidsetters. Anytime our Kidsetter is becoming tired we can leave and not feel like we have been cheated of our tickets. We watched Voyager of the Seas production ‘Showtime’ starring the Royal Caribbean Singers and Dancers in “Broadway Rhythm & Rhyme”, “Music in Pictures”, “Farewell Showtime”, “The Comedy & Magic of Phil Cass” and an ice-skating show called‘Ice Odyssey’.
We enjoyed the upbeat atmosphere of Royal Caribbean’s ‘Voyager of the Sea’s. An excellent option to spend quality family time without the hassle of having to perform daily chores, it is all taken care for you.
