  1. My kids love cruising! They both started in diapers and are now teenagers. There is definitely enough to keep them entertained on the ship. Camp starts at age 2 so they can attend the activities they like and give you free time. I would recommend bringing walkie talkies so if they want to talk to you (or leave camp) they can get you. They do have some family activities like the 1st night is a family dance/meet and greet, and they have family ice cream eating contests and so on. They will give you a schedule the 1st day of all the activities available.

     

    As for Cozumel if you are looking for a kid friendly beach, go to Paradise Beach http://www.paradise-beach-cozumel.com/ This is my kids favorite beach anywhere!!!!

     

    This is a video of our kids when they were younger to get an idea of life on board and the 1st beach is Paradise Beach, Enjoy!!!

     

     

    Great video and nice to see the Man Utd kits.................i'll be at the ground next week for the Watford game !!!

  2. Especially on Carnival, there's always something for kids to do. My daughter (almost 10) has been on three cruises so far, starting when she was three (with the fourth next month). We've also cruised with our young nephew twice (while he was under 5) and our other nephew (2) is joining us next month.

     

    During the day on sea days, you can hang out by the pool with your kids; you can play mini-golf, you can spend money in the arcade, or your kids can spend time in Camp Ocean with new friends. In the evenings, it sort of depends -- are your kids the type who always want to be with other kids? If so, Camp Ocean may be a great place, especially for the two older ones. The 2-year-old, just depends on his/her personality and how well he takes being separated from mom and dad. But there are movies on the big screen, family-friendy comedy and musical shows, etc. that a family can do together, even after dinner.

     

    However, be forewarned -- not all Carnival ship classes have staterooms that allow for 5 people. On some ships, you have to rent an expensive suite to get to 5-person occupancy. So you might end up having to rent two adjacent cabins (with connecting door, in many cases). Officially, your name would be on one cabin, with your wife's on the other. Unofficially of course, you can arrange as you see fit.

     

    I've done a quote and 5 fit into the cabin we are looking at so that's ok.

     

    The movie idea sounds perfect, we can sip a drink while watching as well.

  3. Paradise beach was where i was looking at.

     

    I have to make this decision by myself as its a surprise for my wife and kids.

     

    As the stateroom will be fairly tight with us all in it i think we'll spend as little time as possible in it.

     

    We will pay for one evening out for just us i think.

  4. I know about the code of dress for adults but is it the same for children in the dining room ?

     

    The evenings is my worry as we want them to have something to do as well.

     

    I know what we'll do on port days as we've been to Key West on out honeymoon and want to relive it a bit and in Cozumel we'll do a beach day.

  5. Hi all,

     

    I'm trying to decide on if i should bring my kids on a cruise before we hit Orlando for 2 weeks.

     

    At the time of traveling they will be almost 3, almost 6 and 7. We would be looking at 4 nights on Victory hitting Key West and Cozumel.

     

    It would be one stateroom for the 5 of us, which would be tight but its only for 4 nights. I just wonder would there be enough to keep them entertained at sea.

     

    Also in the evening after dinner what would the options be for things to do ?? Would it be kids club for them while we grab a glass of wine or are they things the whole family can do ???

     

    Any advice would be great, we're traveling from Ireland so its either 4 nights in the Keys or 4 nights on a cruise.
