Kids are 7 and 8 and would love swimming and learn to dance.

babyloi · 08/10/2017 21:32

My boys would love roller disco, zip line fun and the water park and my DP and I would love the whirlpools and escape room. Although the Dreamworks Experience sounds like great family fun all round!

funkyfreks · 08/10/2017 21:33

~ Learn to Dance
All the family could do this and keep fit at the same time!

daisyduck123 · 08/10/2017 21:43

Oh wow. I'm sure they would love to try them all. Splashaway Bay would be top of the list and they would love the Zip wire. The Perfect Storm Waterslides and FlowRider® Surf Simulator would suit my water babies too :)

sarsar123 · 08/10/2017 21:58

Would have to be FlowRider® Surf Simulator, this would be so much fun! My boys would love this. What an amazing ship x

Gill81uk · 08/10/2017 22:31

Oh wow, so much choice! I would pick the Dreamworks Experience, as it is something totally different that we couldn't do at home.

I think DP would pick laser tag, as he'd love to do that with my son.

My 7 year old son would choose the kids splash park, and I think my 4 year old daughter would go for the circus school.

bc1616 · 08/10/2017 22:34

I would choose circus school for my children, I would love to go to the cinema

lolamia91 · 09/10/2017 00:05

upthehammers · 09/10/2017 00:18

I think I'd go for the cinema, library and indoor skydiving

My children (5 and 7) would no doubt love Splashaway Bay - Kids’ Waterpark, xbox games, the ice rink and cinema.

tubbyj · 09/10/2017 00:52

Look fantastic but they are holidays at sea - I don't like being on boats/ships. Could you just stay in port for a week?

Or recreate one on land?

Pimmpom · 09/10/2017 09:15

Most of it to be honest! Learn to Dance for me, Mini golf for all us and the children would be living on the Water Slides!

jazzitup · 09/10/2017 09:20

Dodgems and swimming for me.

snare · 09/10/2017 09:35

flow rider, ice-skating and ziplines would all be fab. :)

nonnyno · 09/10/2017 10:41

We'd love the swimming and the rock wall!

user1485629191 · 09/10/2017 11:02

Indoor sky diving, all the family has wanted to try it!

hpsauce84 · 09/10/2017 12:20

I would love to be able to afford a cruise like this! Our family consists of myself, my hubby and our two girls who are 5 and nearly 1.

I'm mostly into more relaxing activities so would love the cinema and swimming.

My hubby is the adventurous one and would have great fun on the surf simulator, indoor sky diving and zip lines.

Our 5 year old would adore the Dreamworks Experience and would also have great fun at the circus school and on the dodgems.

Our nearly 1 year old would love doing what she always does and watch everyone else enjoying the activities!

euromorris · 09/10/2017 12:38

Circus School and the Ice Rink, though I'd love to give everything a try!

eandoauntie · 09/10/2017 13:08

Splashaway bag - now they can both swim we have fun in the water.

windowmouse · 09/10/2017 13:12

Ice rink and indoor sky diving, skating is always a big hit and the sky diving would be something you don't often get the chance to do. Kids are 7 and 10.

Dessallara · 09/10/2017 13:16

Swimming :)
