explore the kids club and areas
Clubs for children ages 3 and up are INCLUDED with the cost of your cruise
Safety is a top concern
No adults are allowed in the club except during open house hours
Each child has a magic band that they wear during the entire cruise. There is a lock on these so they do not come off
The band is scanned and has a picture of your child and the adults that have permission to pick them up or drop them off.
You will set up a secret word that will be used to pick up your kids. This is a word that only you and the adults responsible for your kids should know.
Each band has GPS on the ship so when picking up the kids, they will know exactly where the kid is. This could also be helpful if for any reason you get separated while on the cruise ship.
When entering the clubs each kid must stop at the handwashing station which lasts for 12 seconds and does all the dirty work.
restaurant and all things food

onboard activities
entertainment
On my most recent voyage, the shows were performed at 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
Guests that have the main dinner seating (usually around 5:45 p.m.) will first enjoy dinner and then watch the later show in the evening. Guests enjoying the second dinner seating (around 8:00 p.m.) will attend the earlier show and then head to dinner.
Most shows running 45 minutes to 1 hour in length
I recommend that you arrive about 15- 20 minutes before showtime to get a great seat up close. The performers sometimes travel through the aisles and there is a lot to see when you are front and center.
Typically have a visiting Broadway Professional on each sailing

Elevators
Now there are only two elevator banks, forward and aft. But they do have more elevators than they did before
Only certain elevators go up to the top floors. If you're trying to get to floor 13 to go to Palo Steakhouse and are currently on floor 6 in the aft elevator bank, only the farthest toward the wall elevators will take you to floor 13. The others will stop at 11 and 12. So when an up elevator opens, check the buttons inside to see if there is a 13 button
