Kids Sail Free Offer

[toby517]

I saw the information below on the NCL website under the "Kids Sail Free" offer. Is NCL now offering babysitting?

 

Splash Academy Ages six months to 12 years, our complimentary Splash Academy engages kids of all ages. We also offer babysitting so mom and dad can play too.

 

 

 

Thanks

They have for some time been saying they were working on implementing one (per my PCC and some onboard staff)... but I hadnt heard it started (and wonder if it ever really will). ,

It may depend on the ship. When I went to ncl.com and clicked through to http://www.ncl.com/cruise-ships, looking at 'what's on board' - 'activities' - 'splash academy' lists the following...

 

"Kids ages 3-12 can do what they do best – be kids! Our complimentary youth program is where they can enjoy age-appropriate creative play, sports and more. From scavenger hunts to shipboard family challenges and dodgeball to pizza-making, there’s something fun for everyone."

 

The same link on the Spirit has this...

 

"Splash Academy is just for kids.. From the very smallest to the biggest, there's a cinema, computer, an arts & crafts section and even quiet spaces with a nursery and a sleep/rest area too."

I suspect it refers to the group sitting at night. That's quite misleading text if it is the case.

Not sure if it maybe is referring to the after 10pm program. It cost like $5-$6 per child per hour till like 1am in the Splash Academy. If that is what it is they had this for a few years already.

Toby email socialmedia@ncl.com and ask your question(s). The person who handles that mail account will be able to give you accurate information.

When I was on Jewel in 2012 there was talk of building a nursery. Just got off Jewel and there is no nursery or babysitting.

Think it is referring to group babysitting (late night).

I'm pretty sure they are referring to the "sitting services" they offer for $6/hr after 10:30pm. You sign up for the nights you want it and they stay in the kids club and do activities. We have always used it during the white hot party. I believe it closes at 1:30am no matter what. :)

 

Any activities with the toddlers that are held in the kids club is done WITH the parents there with them. They do not allow you to drop off your toddlers because they are not allowed to change dirty diapers for health reasons (I'm told).
