6yr old son would love:
Zip lines
Xbox
swimming
waterpark
mini golf
cinema.

Would also like to see some craft or creativity activities. Pottery, beading, artwork e.t.c He also loves animals and creepy crawlies so a handling session would be nice although I appreciate this might be difficult on a ship!!

Dodgems for me - bumper cars as we used to call them - would bring back happy memories. Think other half would like the climbing wall - he's more adventurous than I am!

Rockwall and indoor sky diving - which way is up?

The most popular activities with my family would be the circus school, rock wall and the water park. Great variety of activities on that list though :)

And what about the children - please say how old they are - what you think they’d love to try or experience onboard

Me: zip lines - trued it once, and it was so exhilarating. Would love to do it again!
DP: rock wall - something he's never done but always wanted to try. On his bucket list.
DSS (16): Perfect Storm Waterslides - the only physical activity we can get this lazy teen to get excited about is waterslides!
DS (5): Splashaway Bay - this little boy, just like his big brother loves adventures in the water

So much choice. As a family it'll be dream works and the waterpark for us. All the children age 10,5 and 9 mths would be happy.

My 10 year old would love the rock climbing and flow rider too.

My 5 year old would try the flow rider and love to try Ice skating.

I'd love the skydive for me.

My DP is happy to go with the flow. Maybe he'd try a new sport?

Wow what a lot to do. DH would be content in the pool and on the slides. DD would love circus school, Dreamworks experience, swimming, slides and roller disco.

Indoor sky-diving sounds like a once in a lifetime experience.

I'd be in the library reading a book (in my dreams!), my husband would be in the games arcade and the kids (6 and 2) would be in the splashpark/on the waterslides.

wow we would all love them all i think

faves would be ice rink and swimming for the kids

My 4 & 6year olds would want to do circus skills, mini golf and dodgems and probably kids club and anything arts and crafty. My nearly 2yo of want to do anything his siblings did (which is often a problem - we need activities they can do together or at very least that 4 and 6 yo can do together as they love each other's company and also get jealous of the their. They would also love a teen disco despite not being teens.

DP would like to read in library. As would I. We'd both like to play mini golf without the kids!

All of them! But if I have to choose - circus skills for all of us. Sounds like a great way to get everyone involved.

I would love the cinema, DH would pick the ice skating and indoor sky diving and DS(5) would definitely love the swimming and water slides. I can't believe how many activities are available!

To be honest we would love all of that
Dc are 5 and 8 and would mainly be interested in the water activities and cinema.
But I bet they would still have fun on all the other activities too.
Dh would like cinema
Can't believe you have so much on offer!

Wowww well its my dream to be on a cruise like this one day.
For the answer to your question : i think we would try and do all of the activities as we're paying a lot for this kind of trip,so better enjoy every single penny until the end :)
Our 6 and nearly 11 years old DDs would love to have the opportunity of doing all of these activities.That's a long list and well packed.The top of the list activity would be the ice rink,roller disco and all the water activities :)

My DC is only 3 months now, but if we were to book he would be around 9 months when we would go.

With what that in mind, I think he would love Swimming and Reading in the Library (and mummy would love Escae Room and Rock Climbing 😉).

The girls would love Learn to Dance and the Disco!

Wow so much choice!! :-) Very surprising. We would all love the cinema, roller disco and splashing about in the pools x

Water park for the family, DD would like the surf rider, Ds the x box and I'd like the dancing!

Circus school and roller disco sound amazing. DD would love the zip wire.

Wow! This all looks so good- would love the opportunity to try these.

I'd love to try the surf simulator and indoor sky diving- things I wouldn't normally get to do.

DH says he'd like to do the "learn to dance" sessions so that we could dance together. Although secretly I think he'd also like the surf simulator!

DS- age 5- would love circus skills, ice rink and zip lines if he's old enough to join in! (Can I do zip lines too- to help him, obviously?!)

DD- age 3- would also love circus skills and ice rink

All children, including DS- age 1 would love the Childrens clubs. Plus that would give us chance to relax too!

Teenagers would love the club, laser tag and Xbox games

We'd all love the swimming and water parks and would need to do reading in the library for a rest!

This all really does look amazing, I wonder how long we'd have to go for to fit it all in??

Forgot to mention the dreamworks experience too!!

Have never been interested in going on a cruise until reading that list. It all sounds amazing and I'd likely try everything which I guess is the appeal - everything in one place. First on the list for me would be the Escape Room and Surf Simulator. My partner would probably like Dodgems and Laser Tag.

What a list!

I would go for activities not easily available around where we live.

So the flow rider; the escape room and laser tag
