Hi Jacksmom,
My dd is 9 and a quiet child. I didn't know what to expect in the lab but she wanted to go to certain things that she thought she would enjoy. She went to the lab for about 3 1/2 hours on the day we were in Nassau.
She did goofin around w/animation 1-1:45
Bridge tour 2-2:30
The Jr Chef experience (choc chip cookies) 2:45-3:45
Then storming the Lab from 3:45-4:30 she paged us.
All the other things that she would have probably liked to do were during our dinner time which we all like to eat together, since we dont get to do that too much at home......
Also at
castaway cay she snorkeled with us and stayed on the beach all day. It was way to hot to not be in the water!!!!!
Stormin the lab is like free time to do whatever... computer, knex, crafts.....
A boy thats family ate dinner with us was 9 also and he didnt want to be at dinner, he wanted to go to the lab.... He met 16 kids he said and was there every night til midnight.... I guess it all depends on your child. My dd liked what she did do I think because they were structured events that you didnt have to find something to do. She doesnt make friends easily because she is so quiet. She is getting better though........
Pirates night was on the day we were at Nassau. It was pretty crowded. We were up on deck 10 looking down at the show..... We were right where the fireworks were, on the right hand side if you are looking at the stage... I dont know my ship lingo!!! LOL Also they had a buffet that looked pretty good, but I had 8:15 dinner and couldnt fit one more piece of food in me!!!
If I can think of other stuff I will let ya know.... I have the navigator here so I can tell ya what else they had to do... When are you going on your cruise?
