My son likes the kids clubs on board, he's been in every age group and this time will be in the teen age group for the first time. He likes the parties, movie nights and video games. For the younger kids, when he was 8 he was at the top of the age group for the younger kids and was sort of bored so they let him go into the next higher level. He enjoys the activities, they make t-shirts, decorate cookies and eat them, and other fun optional activities. Note that at age 8 I think you can opt to let your child sign themselves out of the kids club or not, depends on your child's ability to navigate the boat to find you! They close during lunch on sea days but stay open for lunch and serve the kids on port days. The staff is engaging and the spaces are really nicely done.
