Ice rink, learning to dance and roller disco!

twinklenic · 20/09/2017 21:00

im sure my older kids would love the laser tag , youngest the dreamworks experience and i would be quite happy with swimming

cheekychicken24 · 20/09/2017 21:13

I'd be in the spa!

DH would love the golf - although I'd try & drag him into the dance lessons!

Our DC are over 18 now, and very much into health & fitness, so they'd be all over the gym, the jogging track, and definitely the shopping!

Jade5093 · 20/09/2017 21:14

Water park and swimming

Time40 · 20/09/2017 21:14

Swimming, because I'm a mad keen swimmer.

I'd also like the cinema, waterslides and dodgems.

I'd have a go at indoor skydiving and the surf simulator if they didn't look too scary.

I have no idea what an escape room is.

Narnianescape · 20/09/2017 21:21

My lo would love the Rock wall

ItsAMackerel · 20/09/2017 21:27

I asked DS(10) and his list was zip-wire, surf simulator, Xbox games, waterslide and mini golf.

RACHELSMITH45 · 20/09/2017 21:28

My two little ones would love to try all of this, how AMAZING!! The dreamworks experience sounds fab and ice skating on a ship?! fantastic.

gamerwidow · 20/09/2017 21:30

Roller disco or ice rink

freefan · 20/09/2017 21:45

What a fantastic choice selection, our children said they would pick
Cinema,
Swimming and Water Park
Laser Tag
Teen Disco
xbox games
rock wall
escape room
indoor skydiving
And this was just for starters, never realised there was so many things to do.

lhlee62 · 20/09/2017 21:47

Water fun in the pool and going on the slides, maybe a bit of crazy golf

hmariez · 20/09/2017 21:51

Mine are aged 9, 15 months and 4 months. All would enjoy swimming

bluearmy35 · 20/09/2017 21:52

we would love a huge cinema to experience the latest movies

Marg2k8 · 20/09/2017 22:31

I love the idea of slides at sea. How cool is that?

feeona123 · 20/09/2017 22:31

My kids would love swimming, mini golf and learn to dance. They are only 3 and 1 so a lot wouldn't be suitable until they were older.

Cailin7 · 20/09/2017 23:13

DCs would love the rock wall or roller disco

Yaracuy · 20/09/2017 23:52

Ice Rink & Swimming would be two activities I would like to take up

TellMeItsNotTrue · 21/09/2017 00:04

Th dreamworks experience looks good fun for all of the family so I'm glad it's not limited to children! That is the sort of activity we would do on holiday, we try to do things as a family because those times can be rare day to day in a busy household, we do also split up for activities not everyone would enjoy and so I would choose the spa Grin

childmaintenanceserviceinquiry · 21/09/2017 01:10

DS and I would spend all day on the dodgems. He is 12 and any car related activity is his ideal! I am a single parent so no dp to worry about. Fabulous choice of activities. I am very impressed.

carolineandbaby · 21/09/2017 06:05

DSD said she would love the water park and swimming because and I quote " I'm such a water baby" and she would love the ice skating because she's only done it once but really wants to do it again. She's 9 yrs old

claza93 · 21/09/2017 06:26

DD would love the water park as swimming is her fav thing to do! She would also love to give ice skating a go!

fish88 · 21/09/2017 06:43

My partner and I would enjoy laser-quest. My children are 1 and 4 and would enjoy swimming /waterpark.

PepeLePew · 21/09/2017 07:52

dc are 10, 12 and 14
They'd want to do things together so that would narrow it down a bit, but I asked them and they said:
~ Cinema
~ Dodgems
~ Escape Room
~ FlowRider® Surf Simulator
~ Laser Tag - coming in 2018
~ Mini Golf
~ Reading in the Library
~ Rock Wall
~ Swimming
~ The Perfect Storm Waterslides
~ Ultimate Abyss - Tallest Slide at Sea
~ Whirlpools
~ Xbox Games
~ Zip Lines
Basically, if you can go up or down it, swim in it or look at it, they are happy. We'd join in with mini golf and all the swimming stuff.

ohlittlepea · 21/09/2017 10:01

Wow, there is so much more than I imagined...are you sure you dont need a mumsnetter to review a cruise? 😁
I love the sound of the waterpark, the gym classes and sneaking off to the solarium for some peace!
My husband would love the golf and the escape room!
Our three year old would love the carousel, the dreamworks experience, and the water slides!
I think our only problem would be getting her off the boat to come home!

phillie1 · 21/09/2017 10:28

Learn to dance sounds fun
