Adventure Ocean Cruise Compass

[princesstori]

I've been searching online for copies of the Adventure Ocean Compass for the Explorer of the Seas or any of the Voyager Class ships. Anyone know where I could track these down? Or would be willing to email copies to me? Just would like to get an idea of what is going to be available for our daughter while we are on our cruise.

 

Thanks in advance!

We were on the Mariner in January with our DD who was then 3 1/2 and in the Aquanauts group (3-5 year olds). She LOVED the program and never wanted to leave it! Whenever we went on the islands, she asked when we were going back to the ship so she could "go to school". Assuming the activities will be similar, here's the list of topics from our week:

Day 7 (this is the only day I don't have the kids' compass, but according to the "adult" compass, here were some of the activities)

9:30 Adventure Ocean Family Talent Show Rehearsal (Aquanauts performed the Hokey Pokey and all of them received a medal)

11:15 Adventure Ocean Talent Show (bring your cameras!)

 

I know they had other activities throughout that last full day, but I can't remember them :( ... but I think you get an idea of the kinds of activities offered. Make sure your child keeps the "credit cards" that are handed out after participating in each activity. On the last day, s/he'll get to turn them in for prizes- front pack, CD carrying case, t-shirts, key chains, etc.

 

I'm sure your whole family will have a blast!!! :D

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this list for me. My DD is already very excited about our upcoming cruise. (If she sees a cruise ship on TV she is telling us about it.) Just wanted to get an idea of some of the activities offered to share with her. Just to fuel everyones excitement some more.

 

Thanks again!!

I just got back from the Monarch of the Seas and felt my DD 3 years old couldnt have been in better hands. Many of the counselors had teaching degrees and always kept them stimulated and happy. Each time she came back from Adventure Ocean she had a craft project that she completed. Hope you have a great time!
