gaylemh Posted February 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Does anyone know what the ratio is of kids to the staff in the Kids Club on NCL Gem? Do the ships have standards like the day care centers on land? I'm interested in knowing about the 2 year old group. Are there ever times where they turn kids away because they don't have enough staff, or because it's too crowded? I'd also like to know if there are any play areas with toys where parents can play with their kids? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russianmom Posted February 13, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 13, 2012 NCL is revamping their Kids Club program- starting with the Gem this month. They have not released much info- just waiting for reports as people return from their trips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2B&Z Posted February 13, 2012 #3 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I've had children in the 2-5yo group twice now and I've never seen a child turned away. The seem to staff the kids club based on the number of children on board each sailing. On the star in January, there were about 20 children in the group at any one time with 4-5 staff members, so close to the 5:1 ratio we have for child care at home. Sometimes I would go to pick up DS2 and there would be kids crew members with toddlers in their arms, rocking them to sleep...they are a very caring bunch! They didn't have any play areas open to parents, but there was a daily family activity where parents attend with their children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaylemh Posted February 20, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The kids club with the new 6-24m group is supposed to be starting with the Gem that left today. I hope someone comes back to report what it's like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotthead Posted February 25, 2012 #5 Share Posted February 25, 2012 they would always have enough staff.. they know how many kids in each age group are sailing from the bookings. No worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
