Day Care

[shevon020]

What are the hours for the day care? Is it open at night during the shows?

What day care are you talking about? Adventure Ocean is open until 10 pm for ages 3 to 11. After 10 pm you pay $6 per hour (until 2 am). Royal Babies and Tots depend on what time you´ve booked and paid for (opening hours are 5 pm - midnight for the evening sessions except for the first night when they close by 10 pm).

so for kids unter 2 you must pay for anytime spend with the Babies and Tots programs?

 

I guess I should have asked a long while ago....my son will be 2 when we board Oaisis next month!

Royal Babies and Tots are $8 per hour. You have to sign up on the first day. Depending on the number of kids under 3 you get a slot of hours you can use throughout the cruise. If parents don´t use their hours others can take them.

We are booked on the Allure Sept 4, 2011 and I was told by RCCL there was no charge for using Royal Babies and Tots during the day. However if you wanted a sitter for nite then it was $8 per hour for the first two kids.

I think the person you spoke with was misinformed. This is from the RCI website:

 

General Info

This experience is exclusive to our newest ship, Oasis of the Seas.

There are 2 age groups:

Babies (6-17 months) up to and including 1 day less than 18 months.

Tots (18-36 months).

 

Cost

The charge is $8 per hour, per child. This can be charged in hour increments (minimum session charge is $8 for 1 hour even if child is picked up early).

 

DH and I would love it if the nursery was free during the day, though! As I stated in another post, I don't think it's quite fair that RCI charges the same amount for under 3's who can't use a vast majority of the ship's amenities, but then charges extra for the one area designed specifically for them. As a result, parents of the under 3's could very easily spend more money for their child who can't use most of the pools or entertainment facilities than a parent of a 3 or over child who can use Adventure Ocean for free, along with many more entertainment/activity options. But, such is life and, as we all know, life's not fair!
