Computer access for kids!

[wannabecruiser]

I was just wondering if they have access to computers in the kids clubs? My son will be 12 when we go and I think he would like to do some computer time. If not is a place available for the kids to access them with a parent? I know we will want to e-mail to home and let everyone know how we are doing on the cruise while they are staying at home!!! Also, how about the playstation systems in the club, are they available for the kids to play all the time? I have read they have tournaments for certain age groups and I know my son would love that. I am not sure how long he will actually be in the club, I think he will be more apt to hang around with me, and that is fine. sometimes if he does not know anyone he is hesistant to go out on his own and join in. But you never know he may suprise me. It will just me me (mom) and him going. We can't wait!!!

There are computers in the clubs but no internet access. Your child would have to use (and pay for) computer time in the main internet cafe.

Thanks for the info. As of now I think I will just get the unlimited access package, not that we will live on it but that way if we want to send messages home more than once we can just go ahead and do it, and my son can just be with me when I go and he can send messages to his friends too. I have a long time to think about it!!!! Before we go.

They do have computers in the childrens areas, but like the previous post said they do not have internet access. If your son wants to play on the computers or the playstation, look for the times in the navigator when it says "free time", otherwise they will be doing other activities. How close will he be to 13 years? The teen area does have these things and they are available on a regular basis. If not the 10-12 year old group does spend some time in the teen area, which these times can be found on the navigator. Let your son look at the navigators and decide what he likes. If I remember right they have copies of the navigators online so you can see what is happening, some things might change, but they should be the same for the most part. It would be suggestion to have your son at least go on the first night, this is usually when all the counselors are there and they do an introduction type thing to get the kids together.
Have fun! If you will be on the wonder, I will be returning to work on the wonder in about a month.
