Definitely the water park. Football for my dses too (6,7 and 9) along with laser tag Xbox and mini golf, the dreamworks experience also sounds intriguing.
I'd like to try the kids clubs with my youngest, she's only 8 months at the moment so depending what activities there are and if I could stay with her then something might suit?

I'd like to try the escape room and surfing simulator with dh

Actually I must show this info to dh because I think a cruise sounds great with all this included! But he's not too sure yet about the concept

Ice skating for us as we are a variety of ages and found this activity suited everyone and then the closest rink shut so would be great to do it again

My Dd would love the kids club -
She'd also love swimming and the kids Splashaway Waterpark.
Dh would love the mini golf and rock wall
I would love the cinema.

My two teenagers would love to try the Escape Room, so would I :)

swimming

Ice skating would be amazing!! Would be amazing to be on a ship on the ice. It all sounds fab though, where do I sign up

Games arcade and mini golf! They all look fab though. I'm sure we would give most of them a go!

Love RC cruises and the onboard activities are great

New stuff, as a family we would love laser tag and the cinema

I am about to book independence or symphony for next year - a voucher would be v welcome

My 5 year old would love to watch some of his favourite movies in the cinema! I think Laser Tag and the Surf Simulator could be fun for us adults too!

There is a lot of different activities I would choose dreamworks experience and the escape room sounds exciting I think my son aged 12 would try the games arcade football x box as he likes his games and sport a lot of the activities do sound fab

What fantastic activities!

I would pick the indoor sky diving as I've been wanting to do this for ages.

My husband would pick the Escape Room as long as that means a relaxation room and not a try to escape from room experience!

My children, ages 8 and 10, love anything water related so definitely the Splashaway Bay and waterslides.

I would pick the perfect storm waterslides
OH would pick the surf simulator or dreamworks experience
DC1 would pick Adventure Ocean club
DC2 Splashaway pool
DC3 Splashaway pool

I would pick the perfect storm waterslides
OH would pick the surf simulator or dreamworks experience
DC1 daughter aged 7 would pick Adventure Ocean club
DC2 son aged 5 Splashaway pool
DC3 son aged 3 months Swimming as he loves water

I would pick the dodgems as this is a fun activity for all of the family. DS is 3 yrs and would pick the splash way, water rides and splash zines are his favourite.
DP loves an adrenaline rush so would pick indoors sky dive but I'd be too scared to join him

Aaaw! It's on my bucket list. My mum and dad met when they were working for Royal Caribbean (mum was a beautician, dad was a chief engineer) so I spent a lot of my childhood on the ship. But they passed away in my teens. I have such fond memories.

Anyway! They all sound absolutely brilliant! But we would head for mini golf first!!

DH would DEFINITELY choose the escape room. We did one in Budapest and he loved it, we've been saying we ought to do one again ever since, but that was 3 years ago now...
DD is 18 months and she'd choose the fun of kids club (or maybe that would be me choosing some peace and quiet!) or the splashaway pool as she adores water and swimming in general.
I'm torn between the cinema (haven't been in 18months- the correlation between that and DD's age are probably quite obvious!) and indoor sky diving as it's always something I've wanted to try and clearly no better place to try out so many new things!

I think it would be impossible to keep the kids away from the waterslide and pools! I quite like the idea of sneaking to the on board cinema, and try ALL the restaurants!

Ooh an escape room. This really takes cruising to another level.

The ship becomes the itinerary rather than the itinerary itself.

Brilliant

Myself and my husband would pick the ice rink as we enjoy ice skating together. Our children (Aimee 4 and Ava 2) would pick swimming because they're both water babies.

I know all of my children would pick the same sort of thing anything to do with water and slides as would me and my husband we all love the water and would happily spend the whole day at a water park

1.Ultimate Abyss - Tallest Slide at Sea For 18 & 15 year old DDS

2.The Perfect Storm Waterslides For 13 DS
3.Splashaway Bay - Kids’ Waterpark For 3&5 year old DD&DS

Zip Lines!!!

The escape room sounds fun

I would pick escape room and cinema. Also if I got chance the library too.

DD's (both toddlers) LOVE dancing so would love any kind of disco. We would probably try ice skating too.

DH would like surf simulator and all the swimming pools.

We would love all of that! But the whole family's top pick would be the waterslides as we all love swimming. Ds is 10.
