my family love swimming and the cinema so we would probably spend most of our time doing this

I think swimming would be the go to activity, however, I think they would enjoy all of them and I would need another holiday after!!!

definitely the roller disco to relive my youth and show my kids the moves!

As a family we would go for the Mini Golf (any excuse to be out in the good weather) , the water slides, indoor sky diving and the Ultimate Abyss ( the adrenaline junkie side of us coming out there).
DP would end up doing the Dodgems with Dd - they always have personal competitions with that. Plus ice-skating because he is a complete soft touch and Dd would make him skate with her for entertainment value! I have never seen my parents laugh so much, when watching him ice-skate.
Dd ( a teen) would go for the Flowrider, Roller Disco, Rock Wall, Games arcade (with friends she makes on board).
I have done the zip line on there and wouldn't bother again. Dd would probably try it because it is there.
Apart from that you can find me by the pool with a nice, long cold drink in hand

Rockwall and swimming for dd!

Swimming is great for the whole family to do .

Wow what an absolutely incredible list of activities! I didn't expect to see activities like that on a cruise. Pleasantly surprised at the variation.

My son aged 7 is a bit of an adventurer! He would love the zip line, and the waterslides, even the rock wall sounds perfect for him!! He loves to be busy and try new things.

My 4 year old loves water, so the kids water park sounds perfect for him. He prefers to stick near by us adults, and experience things together.

Laser Tag would be my number 1 choice

Hi,
Personally I (34) would love:

Escape Rooms Indoor Sky Diving & *Learn to Dance because i like a challenge and like to learn new things
DH would love:
Surf simulator Indoor skydiving *Ultimate Abyss because he's a thrill seeker through and through.
The kids (2 boys aged 12 & 13) would love:
Zip lines Rock Walls * All of the water slides because they're exciting & thrilling.
Although i think we would all love to have a go on everything. make the most it, it looks amazing.

Swimming fun and burn off energy :)

I think we would choose
DreamWorks Exp.
Ice Rink
Sky Diving
Learn To Dance
Mini Golf
Reading In The Library
Swimming
Teen Disco
Xbox Games
Zip Line
Our DS is 13 and a scaredy cat, fear of heights etc, DD is 11/12 and is an adrenaline junkie, so would love most of these, not so much into the watersports.
I'd love the learn to dance as I have two left feet, so learning to dance with them would be good :-)

We tend to centre our holidays on the children and to get quality time with them, so we would choose the following: Cinema, Circus School, Dodgems, DreamWorks Experience, FlowRider® Surf Simulator, Games Arcade, Ice Rink, Indoor SkyDiving, Laser Tag, Mini Golf, Rock Wall, Roller Disco, Splashaway Bay - Kids’ Waterpark, Sports Court - Basketball, Football, Swimming, The Perfect Storm Waterslides
Ultimate Abyss, Zip lines and especially the Xbox Games! So much to do! :)

Reading in the Library.

My daughter would definitely pick the waterslides, she loves them! I think DH would pick the indoor sky diving for the fun of it, and I'd love to try the escape rooms (crystal maze fan!).

My two DC are 15 and 3 so a variety of activities catered towards their individual age groups sounds great, but looks like there's also plenty for them to do together as well!

I did just look at the prices on RC website though...ouch! Maybe a treat for me and DH when the DC are all adults and have left home then

There are so many it's hard to choose! But I think the circus school and skydiving would go down really well for my two. Who knew there were so many things to choose from on a cruise?!

I think we would all enjoy the Laser Tag, kids are 6 and 8 and love that sort of thing, DH used to play it as a kid, and it'd be a nice activity for the whole family to do together.

Looking to book a RC cruise next year I would love the escape room, cinema, indoor skydive and dreamworks experience

I'd probably choose reading in the library for some peace and quiet!

DP would love the dance lessons.

The kids would choose swimming (3 yr old) and dodgems (5 year old).

I think DS1&2 would go for rock wall, water slides, escape room and gaming. DD might add in anything dance like!

I would be languishing somewhere quiet whilst they were occupied!

Wow that is a pretty impressive list of activities I would have to have a go at the Surfs Up Flow rider as it looks great fun
OH would be wanting to try the skydiving simulator
Oldest boy would love try the Perfect Storm waterslides and youngest son I think would want to ride the zip line very probably more than once!

My eldest would love the water park and my husband would like the escape room. I would stick both kids in the kids club so I could read a book and drink a g&t by the pool!

The water slides!

Oh my God they all sound amazing! I have to say this would probably be my dream trip and something that I am already saving up for.

We would definitely try most of them but as a family I think things like the cinema, ice rink and the escape room sounds like a nice activity to do. I would probably be on my own with the zip lines but there is something that just really appeals to me about doing a zip line on a boat in the middle of the ocean.

circus school
ice rink
dodgems
rock wall
zip line
and escape room

In fact, if we found ourselves on a cruise, I think we'd try everything! :)
