We had a wonderful vacation both times we went on the cruise. But I have to say, if I could, I would change things a bit too with the kids programs. My children enjoyed it, but we only checked them in for activties they wanted to do, the rest of the time they were with us. I think there could have been more choices of activities for the kids. We went to sign them in for BINGO once but it had been canceled.
I would have liked to see more 'character' encounters for the kids. But to be honest, my kids loved being with us more than the Kids Club most of the time, not because the kids club wasn't fun, but because the ship is so great and they loved the Mickey Pool and the shows and the dancing up on deck 9, and well, we just had a blast!
So maybe if you plan to leave your kids in the club a lot it might get boring for them. We spent most of our time together as a family except for the things that the kids really wanted to do (which was usually 1 activity a day). Again, they would have stayed more if we wanted them to, but we had fun together, all of us! Maybe that is the determining factor. When our kids were in the club, we would sometimes show up and take pictures (like when they were dancing in Studio Sea). We were never apart for too long.
And it was the best vacation our family ever took! We are going on the 7 Day next year!
