For us I guess it would be the cinema & Ds would love the laser tag & Xbox. It certainly wouldn't be learn to dance as Dd is pretty advanced & would like to work a cruise ship as a dancer when she's older.

I'm surprised you havnt mentioned the shows. Cruise ship dancers are highly trained professionals & you are known for putting on spectacular shows including full scale musicals. The whole family would be there

I'd pick to do the escape room - I love them! Have done a few 'real' ones and loads online.....would be great to do one at sea!

DH would like anything to do with water or spend his time in the games arcade reliving a misspent youth!

Our DC are 3 & 5 - they'd love a mini disco or any type of kid's club.

Splashaway Bay Kids’ Waterpark would be our favourite as we all love to swim and have fun in the water - me, my husband and kids (aged 1 and 2) swim every Saturday unless we are away on holiday (ideally a cruise!) when we swim every day so would love a water park.

My son (4.5 years) and I would love the cinema and anything water related! We’d be in the pool all day if we could!

Ha. I'd probably convince DS to pick the dance ones only because I love dancing myself. But he'd probably pick the water activities for himself and arcades!

DS would live on the mini golf, dodgems and xbox. DD roller disco, teen disco and ice rink. They would both want to send me to 'Learn to Dance' as apparently it's hilarious that my genertion weren't tought at school.

My family would try cinema, games arcade (For me :P) and the dreamworks experience

The rock wall for sure and the ice rink! Ooh and mini golf too!

So which would you pick and why? I like to chill so being pampered and Reading in the Library sounds good to me.
What do you think your DP would choose to do onboard? some sporty stuff and cinema.
And what about the children - please say how old they are - what you think they’d love to try or experience onboard? DS1 is 10 and DS2 is 7. Both would love the Circus School, water park, Laser Tag and DS1 would love Xbox too.

So which would you pick and why? I would love the whirlpool and the learn to dance.

What do you think your DP would choose to do onboard? He'd love the laser tag and sky diving

And what about the children - please say how old they are - what you think they’d love to try or experience onboard? My daughter is 6 and would love the roller disco and dreamworks experience.

Me and my family LOVE cruises!

The Kids club is a must, the kids love going and me and the hubby get to go do some activities the kids are too young for... like the flow rider.

The main things my kids would love are:

The Dodgems
The Laser quest.. they love it on land!
Splashaway Bay - Kids’ Waterpark
Circus school
Zip lines.

We are an active family so these are amazing activities for us

I think the kids would fancy circus school, waterslides and whirlpools. I'll just sit be the pool and chill, LOL

We'd definite all choose the indoor skydiving - so much fun!

My first choice (Age 27) would be the DreamWorks Experience.

DH (Age 28) would choose the Arcade.

Dss (Age 6) would choose the Mini Golf.

Me -
~ Cinema
~ Circus School
~ Learn to Dance
~ Mini Golf
~ Reading in the Library
~ Sports Court - Basketball, Football and much more
~ Swimming

DH:
~ Cinema
~ Dodgems
~ Mini Golf
~ Sports Court - Basketball, Football and much more

DS is 5:
~ Circus School
~ Ice Rink
~ Roller Disco
~ Splashaway Bay - Kids’ Waterpark
~ Sports Court - Basketball, Football and much more
~ Swimming
~ Zip Lines

We would love the cinema and all the swimming activities and my dd would love the library

Dodgems and the games arcade

The Perfect Storm Waterslides is something that all three of my children would love. They are 8, 12 and 15. I think they would all choose to go on the zip wire too. The range of activities would suit them all really well.

Me personally would love the dream works experience. Im a big kid at heart and the dreamworks films are some of my favourites.

My partner would love the laser zone. He loves all things like that and wouild probably rope my children into joining him.

Our all family would go swimming and kids (3 and 6 years) would love the waterslides and waterpark. The older one would also go for Xbox games and zip lines. My partner and me would try indoor skydiving for the first time.

DS1 is a big gaming fan so would love the Xbox sessions or games arcade.

DS2 is Mr Sporty so would love the Zipwire or flow rider.

Personally I'd enjoy sitting reading in the library (with 🍷 whilst the kids did the above activities!).

My son (nearly 4) loves anything water based, so we would be going for surf simulator, waterpark, waterslides etc. My partner also loves swimming and surfing, so would be drawn to the water activities too.

My 4 year-old would love the Splashaway Bay - Kids’ Waterpark, my husband would probably try the indoor sky diving. For me I'd give the ice rink a go. All sounds like a lot of fun, I didn;t realise cruises could be so much funfor families.

DC would love
~ Cinema
~ Circus School
~ Dodgems
~ DreamWorks Experience*
~ Games Arcade*
~ Ice Rink
~ Learn to Dance
~ Reading in the Library
~ Roller Disco
~ Splashaway Bay - Kids’ Waterpark
~ Swimming
~ Teen Disco
~ The Perfect Storm Waterslides
~ Ultimate Abyss - Tallest Slide at Sea
~ Whirlpools

We would pick swimming and whirlpools as we would be there to relax.

I would choose laser tag and my DH would probably pick the waterslides! My son loves the water so would probably pick splashaway bay (assuming it was age appropriate) he's nearly 3.
