Royal Caribbean (Independence of the sea) toys on board to borrow?

[Libra1975]

Hi I am doing a 10 day cruise with a 3.5yr old and a 18 month old. I am hoping the older one enjoys the kids club but will need to keep the 18 month old entertained myself. Luckily we don't have to fly so aren't constrained by luggage amount but was wondering what type of toys the ship (Independence of the Seas) has on board that can be borrowed for an 18month old?

 

Thanks.

 

(p.s any other tips also gratefully received!)

Not aure that they let you borrow. They have sessions for mom n tot scheduled throughout the cruise where htey break out themed fisher price toys for the hour or so.

Yes thanks I have seen the scheduled playtimes but I am sure I have seen it mentioned that you can borrow a bag of toys. Not sure is this is confined to Oasis/Allure/Freedom/Liberty or if IoS has it as well.

Yes IOS had this when we were on her. It's called the "Fisher Price Toy Lending Program" I didn't use it because our kids were older but I have seen some reviews. Some said they got new toys. Some said they got some not so new toys ;) This was back before they started offering new programs but I haven't seen that they have removed this one.

We were just on the Navigator in March. We did use the toy lending program and it was fair. My daughter was 19 months, and they gave her a couple of toys from the 3-5 group. We did go to the baby play groups and were told we could exchange toys there, but that was not the case. I would say to bring some of your own toys just in case.

Thanks for your replies, am packing some arts&crafts stuff for the 3yr old and will throw in some toys for the 18month old just in case.
