At what age can children check themselves out of the clubs? And if you don't want to allow that can you take that privelege away from them (i.e. have the CM's follow that rule) and can you still get a pager? I wouldn't want DD in there without being able to call us so I guess we'd have to do walkie talkies ourselves if
DCL wouldn't give us a pager.
Also, I have not read much about the new kids club concept but have seen discussions here about it. A PP mentioned not being thrilled with this and I have to say I agree. I was so happy that our DD was on the upper end of the Oceaneer's Club age range when we cruised. She is a non-aggressive sometimes shy child and I did not want her with children much older than her. We are set to cruise next year but I was already concerned about her being at the low end of the Oceaneer's Lab. So what is the deal now? She'll be 9, how much older can the kids she's around be? She's also an only child so hanging out with a sibling isn't an option.
