VIP- camp at sea

[mgmigs]

Can someone tell me more about the camp at sea VIP program? What exactly does it offer? When they say “dinner party” is that just dinner? It looks like celebrity charges a fee for kids to eat at these “parties”?  First time using the celebrity kids club so not sure what to expect.

I think the "VIP Pass" is fairly new but it sounds similar to the "Party Pass" option we were offered last year except instead of a 40% discount, the cost included all lunch, dinner, slumber party times plus a tour of the ship for $105. 

 

Lunch and dinner was by sign-up if you wanted them to attend. Lunch was on port days only from 12:00 - 2:00 pm, dinner was every day 5:00 - 7:00 pm, and they were taken to the Oceanview Cafe. Not exactly a party!

 

Dinner was free on sea days and when the ship sailed from port by 5:00 pm. Otherwise there was a $6/hour charge for lunch, dinner or 10 pm - 1 am "slumber party". There was a note that if there weren't enough children, we might have to sign up for meals the day before but that didn't happen.

 

The kids program did close from 12:00 - 2:00 and 5:00 - 7:00 except for those signed up for lunch and dinner. There was also a rule that they could only stay in the program for 6 hours before taking a minimum 1 hour break.

 

Overall, our kids (7 and 9) enjoyed the kids program a lot. The 6 to 8 year olds had organized activities that were crafts and contests in the kids club area. They did go as a supervised group to the buffet for ice cream in the afternoons. The 9 to 12 year olds had activities like scavenger hunts where they went around the ship in small groups on their own. All ages worked on a talent show for the last day of the cruise.

Whoops!  Sorry, I thought the question about the "camp at sea" program was about Celebrity's  latest policy where passengers need to pack and bring along their own footstools and coffee tables.
