Loyalty Programme
Now our guests under 18 can enjoy complimentary membership
and all its benefits! We have extended membership of the Crown & Anchor Loyalty Programme to younger guests aged 0-17 and included some exclusive new benefits.
Young members will automatically be awarded their parent's membership level; whether Gold, Platinum, Diamond or Diamond Plus when enrolled in the programme. For example, kids with more than 5 completed cruise credits (Platinum) will enjoy priority check-in. With 10 completed cruise credits (Diamond and Diamond Plus), they'll enjoy priority departure from the ship and entry to the priority waiting list for sold-out shore excursions.
Adventure Ocean®
For kids, there can be no greater adventure than sailing the high
seas. And to make it even more special, we created our Adventure
Ocean® Youth Programme, specifically designed to entertain
children from 6 months to 17 years with an exciting range of fun and
educational supervised activities. There's even the added excitement
of Adventure Beach - an area especially for families to enjoy together,
with a swimming pool and water slide, it's loads of fun!
Adventure Ocean® is specially designed to blend educational activities
with just plain fun. Every cruise is different. But one thing never
changes: your child will get to learn about local customs, do cool
science experiments, and make great new friends.
Family holidays will never be the same again. With Adventure Ocean®,
you can do activities as a family, plus parents get some free time
to themselves - and children get some time to have their kind of fun.
That includes special children-only meals, a TV station with channels
just for children, lots of great play areas and even a nightclub for
teens. Royal Caribbean cruises are designed to bring families closer
together and for everyone to have the time of their life!
To participate in group activities, children must be potty-trained.
No pull-ups or nappies, please.
Who is it for?
Adventure Ocean® is a free Programme, open to all guests aged
6 months to 17 years. Children are cared for by age: 6 to 18 months,
18 to 36 months, 3 to 5 years; 6 to 8 years; 9 to 11 years; 12 to 14 years; and 15 to 17 years.
If your child wants to join a different age group, they must participate
in one day-activity session and one night-activity session with their
proper age group first. The Adventure Ocean® Manager and youth staff
will then make the decision based on their maturity level.
The People Behind the Programme
Each Adventure Ocean® staff member holds a college degree in education,
recreation or a related field, from an accredited college or university,
or has qualified equivalent experience in working with children aged
6 months to 17 years.
All are fully trained and certified in children's
first aid and have an extensive backround in working with groups of
children. So relax - your children are in safe hands.
Eat, Drink and Be Merry
For our youngest guests, we offer a children's menu featuring all
their favourites: pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, peanut butter, and
macaroni cheese. Kids have their own drinks programmes too. The Unlimited
Soda Package lets them purchase a fountain soda/juice package so they
can enjoy as many fountain sodas and juices as they want.
On selected nights, our youth staff host dinners in our specialty
restaurants. It's a great opportunity for children to eat with other
kids and for parents to enjoy a meal alone.
Adventure Ocean® Coupons
All children who participate in Adventure Ocean® will have the
opportunity to earn up to three Adventure Ocean® coupons a day by attending
the activities. At the end of the cruise, they can trade them in for
really cool prizes.
Adventure Family
The idea of Adventure Family is for children and their parents to
get together and participate in fun onboard activities like ice-skating
and karaoke, as well as beach games that are played shore side. It's
a great way for the entire family to have fun.
Time for Mum and Dad
As a holiday for the whole family, Royal Caribbean also provides quiet
time for mum and dad. That can be during the day, while the children
are at their own Adventure Ocean® Programme, or at night, while the
children are with babysitters.
For older children, we offer group sitting in the Late Night Party
Zone. The service is offered from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. in our youth facilities
and children must be at least three years of age. The rate is $5 USD
an hour per child.
For younger children, we also offer individual sitting in your stateroom
from 8 a.m until 2 a.m. Children must be at least one year old. Rates
are generally between $8 and $10 USD an hour, depending on the number
of children in your family. Payments must be made in cash. We require
24 hours advance notice and the guests can confirm the service with
Guest Relations upon boarding.
Please note: Children who are not toilet trained
and nappy and pull up free are not allowed in the pools or whirlpools.
