Was it hard to book time in the kids club? I think I’m just surprised because the cruise part of our trip is the part I thought was gonna be the most relaxing, without having to constantly monitor openings, availability, etc. We’re going to the parks for 5 nights after the cruise (postponed Covid trip) and there’s so much stress (for me) involved with that part of the trip due to the daily 7am thing that it’s a bummer to hear the cruise may be a hassle too. I don’t understand these trips that cost thousands of dollars and yet you still have to worry whether you’ll have easy access to the features you’ve paid for!
I just found out about the kids club requiring reservations, and honestly I am super annoyed and considering just canceling the whole thing. The kids club is the whole reason we're doing a Disney cruise, to be able to just drop the kids by whenever we want some alone time. Planning out an hour here or an hour there and adhering to a strict schedule all day is not relaxing. That's not to mention that all the reasonable times are booked up now anyway (pretty much only port days and super late night still available to be booked).
If they were going to do this they should have it in big bold red letters on the top of the booking page since it's such an important part of the experience. Heck we even booked through one of the recommended travel agents on here and even they didn't mention it to us. Very disappointed to find this out 3 weeks before our sail date.
