Mine would love anything sporty, so the mini golf and ice rink would be popular. They'd probably play the mini golf repeatedly until they beat their Dad! Boys 8 and 10.

We've been talking about going on a cruise for ages! My husband and I would love the Learn to Dance, and Reading in the Library - something we never get time to do! My sons would want to do pretty much everything, especially the FlowRider® Surf Simulator and the Indoor Sky Diving.

Kids (11 and 14) and big kid (aka DH) - 45!, would love the indoor skydiving- simply because where else would you be able to skydive, whilst on a boat, on an ocean?! craziness but cool craziness!

We'd probably spend most of our time in the pool, or at the ice rink or cinema and we'd definitely try the indoor sky diving

We would try all of the activities if time permitted.

Wow that is an impressive list. I think mine (and me!) would want to do almost everything! The most fun things, I think are Cinema, Dodgems, DreamWorks Experience, FlowRider® Surf Simulator, Ice Rink, Indoor Sky Diving, Laser Tag, Splashaway Bay - Kids’ Waterpark, Swimming, Whirlpools, Xbox Games & Zip Lines!
No excuse for getting bored with all that available!

Cinema, mini golf, library, whirlpool

Ice rink and shows, swimming pool circus school and cinema

I'd love the ice skating - I used to be good at it as a teenager, but I will probably be rubbish at it now. The indoor skydiving sounds fantastic too. DP would definitely go for reading in the library - he's an avid reader and likes his peace and quiet. DSD1 would love anything to do with water, and DSD2 would love to do anything involving dancing, or the circus school. I don't think we'd see each other anywhere other than at mealtimes!

Definitely the mini golf for my family it would be great for all the family and you can play more than once on holiday and not get bored.

My children would love swimming and the zip wire! Never knew there would be so much to do on board!

the roller disco would be great fun for me and my children

I would pick swimming - get a chance to swim with my DS.
I'm sure he'd pick the reading in library if they have all his fave books - Gruffalo, Peppa Pig and anything with a Tiger

Mini Golf is always great family fun.

Both DP and I would like swimming and learning to dance - we like activities we can do together. My DD 13 would enjoy the teen dance - she likes an excuse to dress up, and make friends.

Swimming is top of our list - loved by all.

My kids are 12 and 15 and like most siblings have very different interests.
My DS is a very mellow lad that likes things that are quiet but still loves meeting new people even though he is quite shy. He would love
~ Xbox Games and probably the kids club if it were popular with teens his age.

My DD on the other hand... is all about the dancing, she would love
~ Reading in the Library
~ Swimming
~ Teen Disco
in fact, we would probably never see her except for when we did family activities such as mini golf and the cinema. My husband for sure would love to try the Flowrider, if for nothing more than a nostalgic nod to his youth, and to show the kids he still has skills!

Our family would love to do the escape room! We have some local ones and we love them! My son had his last birthday there!

Roller Disco - I would certainly love it! We'd all go for it as we love skating!

Two kids here, 5 and 8, and we've never been on a cruise. Here's what we would like if we were lucky enough to go!

DC aged 8 would LOVE the Flowrider! He's keen on body boarding and loves the water, so this would be brilliant for him. He'd also love all the pools and anything swim related in general.

DC aged 5 would love the ice rink. We've been ice skating twice and she loved it both times, but nearly managed to go on her own the last time so she would be well away with a bit more practice.

I'd love the pools, the library of books (heaven to hide away in!) and the cinema as well as the pools.

DH would love the pools, particularly the Flowrider and and we'd all do things like mini golf together very happily. DC's would probably not do the kids clubs unfortunately as they aren't keen on them. However there seems to be lots to do that we could all do together or in pairs, which is great.

I would really love a cruise holiday but I do suffer from sea sickness and am worried that I would be stuck on a boat feeling ill. Plenty of people have been on cruises and have told me that you don't feel any movement but I wish I could believe this and book a cruise as the activities available look amazing!!

My daughter is 4 and would love the kids clubs as she gets bored easily. It is also nice for hubby and I to spend some quality time and we would enjoy the spa together.

My daughter would love circus school, she loves going to the circus and keeps saying she wants to be on stage with the circus.

As a family we would enjoy the waterpark most as we can all go on the slides together and have fun in the water - quality time as a family.

I would love to do this-
~ Circus School
~ Dodgems
~ DreamWorks Experience*
~ Escape Room
~ FlowRider® Surf Simulator
~ Games Arcade*
~ Ice Rink
~ Indoor Sky Diving
~ Laser Tag - coming in 2018
~ Reading in the Library
~ Rock Wall
~ Roller Disco
~ Splashaway Bay - Kids’ Waterpark
~ Swimming
~ Teen Disco
~ The Perfect Storm Waterslides
~ Ultimate Abyss - Tallest Slide at Sea
~ Whirlpools
~ Xbox Games
~ Zip Lines

My daughter and partner would love to do pretty much the same. There is a lot of choice and variety and it just all looks so fun!!!

DH and I would definitely love the escape room - we've done a couple before and they are great fun!
Kids love anything water related so splashpark probably

Thanks for all the comments!
