Just cruised last week, and according to the Navigators the 5-7's and 8-9's always ate out, either at Animator's Palate or Topsider's for lunch and Topsider's for dinner. Only our 6 year old went for one lunch, and it sounded like they made up trays ahead of time for each child with an assortment of items that were available that day on the kids' line of the Topsiders' lunch buffet (it was a sea day, I don't know if port days would differ)
