How do I sign up for Kids clubs?

[Beauty2016]

I have heard that you have to sign up prior to sailing for the kids clubs but my phone and desktop both are not giving me the option of signing up. It has "onboard fun" but that is for extra add ons not kids clubs. HELP. The nursery is also blacked out (we wont be utilizing this but just weird).

To do kids club or ocean-ears club you have to wait 30 days before sailing. It won’t show up until then. (And when that 30 days comes, you’ll have to do your online checkin and then you can do it)

We are about 3 weeks out and its not giving us the option even after online checkin.

15 days out for me and I don't see it anywhere.
I didn't know we had to sign up beforehand

This doesn’t apply to teen club right becuz I don’t have the option to sign up the 15yos

None of this is correct.

"Signing up" for the kids clubs was a COVID measure that is no longer in place. You'll get a MagicBand upon check-in, and then you just drop your kids off whenever you want.

The only children’s programming that requires reservations is the nursery. While the Oceaneers Club and Lab did require reservations for a period of time after the restart, that policy was discontinued in spring 2022. Now, children are free to come and go in all clubs other than the nursery. The is is a return to the policy from before the shutdown.

Just to clarify a couple of nuances... Parents can specify whether they want a child to be able to check themselves into or out of the clubs without a parent physically coming to pick them up. Also, there are times when one "side" of the Club/Lab has an open house where parents and non-potty-trained littles can come hang out. During those times, only the other side will be available for what they call "secured programming."

Finally, you'll be charged $12.95 to your onboard account for each MagicBand they issue. You can keep them as a souvenir or return them at the end of the cruise for a full refund.

Fantastic!
This is what I remember from 2015 so glad it's back to normal.

If they’re a certain age that it. I did this for the 11yo last time but I remember there was an age limit. A 5yo can’t come and go as they please.

The limit to self sign out is 8.

If we’re going through all the minutiae, there is no sign in/sign out in Edge and Vibe. That has caused concern for posters before because they didn’t want older kids to be able to have free rein.
