Sailing with child with Aspergers

[orkaren1]

We will be sailing on Royal Caribbeans Harmony of the Seas with our 6 year old grandson who is being evaluated for Aspergers.  Does anyone have any hints on cruising with an Asperger's child?  Also would it be worthwhile to contac Royal Caribbean special needs department ahead of time to advise them of our grandson's needs or would it be better to wait until we are onboard and talk to the people in Adventure Ocean kids club?  Thanks for any information or hints you might have.

If you need special accommodations for muster drill, or a special menu, or the child to be placed differently in the club, then call ahead and give them a "heads up".  Otherwise, you can talk to the staff on the 1st evening, when "orientation" in the kid's clubs occur.
