70.0. "Cruising with Kids?" by CURIE::TOBIN () Fri Jan 20 1989 19:47

    Does anyone have any good experiences on cruises with good kids'
    programs?  I am interested in a cruise with my wife and 5-year-old
    daughter, but would like to have some kind of program available
    aboard so that the wife and I can have some time aboard.  We aren't
    particularly interested in the Disney combination cruise at this
    time.

70.1CRUISING WITH KIDSFPTVX1::URONISSat Jan 21 1989 01:406
    Most of the lines now offer good childrens programs which make it
    easy for the parents; however, they may not offer it on each ship
    or even all year. The programs usually run during the summer, holiday
    cruises or if more than x number of kids are on board. Be sure to
    have your travel agent check out the specifics for the ship and
    date that you select DON'T ASSUME. It's a great way to go for families.

    RCCL and Sitmar seem to have the best children's programs (from
    my personal experience).  I'll be taking my children on Carnival's
    Jubilee on the February school vacation so we'll see if there
    program is all that they've tooted it to be.

70.3Kids love it!!!GLDOA::PFLANZThu May 04 1989 20:208
    I have been on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Sitmar...Sitmar is
    head and shoulders above the rest....Full youth and Teen centers.
    Activities from 09:00 to 24:00..Not just babysitting but culture;
    Italian lessons, dance, etiquette.  My kids loved it...Only problem
    is Princess bought out Sitmar.  I don't know if it willbe the same.
    I booked for end of june anyway.

    My children most enjoyed the RCCL children's program.  Sitmar had a
    good children's program, but are now owned by Princess who don't offer
    as complete a program.  Carnival's program is ok, but RCCL's 
    offers more.
