smalltownmomwa Posted April 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2013 On one of our ports, I have a tour 2.5 hour tour scheduled currently for 8 am. I am debating whether I should switch that to 1:30 pm. Has anyone had difficulty getting their kids up and out the door by 730 on cruises? On the one hand, we are on vacation and it would be nice to sleep in a bit. On the other hand, I want to make sure we get out the door in time to wander around town before lunch if we go with the later one. My kids are 9 & 7. Thanks!

European_CruiseGirl Posted April 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I'd take the later one with older kids. However I just chose the other way around. Excursion at 8:45 instead of 12:30. The difference however is that: 1. we are cruising with a 2 year old and a 5 year old who wake up early in any case and 2. I expect us to still be somewhat on European time (day 4 after our transatlantic flight to the US) so we will most likely be up quite early in any case. :) But if I'd have the possibility to sleep in I definitely would. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted April 28, 2013 #3 Share Posted April 28, 2013 If this was your only early excursion of the cruise I would go earlier but if it was one of many and I had the option I would move it to the afternoon. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted April 28, 2013 #4 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Depends on whether or not your have 'early' kids. We could have done it with our younger one, not with our oldest. That being said we always liked the early tours. They don't break up the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted April 28, 2013 #5 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Gee! I hate being rushed in the morning and even more so when our girls were young and still cruising with us ... so I'd take the later one. It'll take some time to make sure they have something to eat for breakfast. Whatever, have a great time! :) LuLu ~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalltownmomwa Posted April 28, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted April 28, 2013 This is our only official excursion, so I think we will stick with the early one while the kids are fresh. Thanks for the opinions! Sent from my XT897 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted April 28, 2013 #7 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Sounds like a good plan because you know what works best for your children! Have FUN! :D LuLu ~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
