Fun isn't just for adults at Royal Caribbean. Royal Caribbean offers
exciting programs for guests of all ages, including the new Crown &
Anchor Society Youth Program. With membership, children 17 and under can
earn credit for cruising with us and receive special onboard benefits
just for them!
Teens can discover a whole new world of cruising just for them onboard
Royal Caribbean ships. From dancing until 2 a.m. in the teen-only dance
club to just hanging out with friends in the teen-only lounge, there's
plenty of options to make new friends, explore independently and have a
blast.
As for the younger set, Royal Caribbean has activities for wee ones
starting at just 6 months old! The Fisher-Price Aqua Babies and Aqua
Tots Programs for parents and children 6-36 months old was developed by
Fisher-Price exclusively for Royal Caribbean International. Drop by,
stay and play!
Kids ages 3-11 will especially love the complimentary Adventure Ocean®
Youth Program, specially designed to blend educational activities with
just plain fun. Every member of the staff holds a college degree in
education or other related field, or has qualified experience in working
with children, so you can feel confident that your kids will have the
time of their lives while learning a little in the process.
Aqua Babies (Ages 6-18 months)
To make your time onboard even more enjoyable, join in the fun of Aqua
Babies and Aqua Tots, interactive classes developed by early childhood
experts at Fisher-Price. Simply head over to Guest Relations to pick up
a copy of the daily Compass that matches your child's age. While you're
there, check out Adventure Ocean for older kids-with great facilities
for art, science, and games. Royal Caribbean will be here for your
family as your children grow! A parent or caregiver MUST accompany
children during all playgroup sessions.

instruments are introduced and rhythm, movement and creativity are
explored.

physical development with the help of Baby GymtasticsTM toys, activities

discoveries and surprises each day. This playgroup session is full of
ways to examine, discover, build and wonder.

experiences and teach you how to make playtime learning time as well.

discoveries, sing, sway and play with great toys they are sure to love.
