Hi all -
We are getting excited for our March 20 Eastern cruise! I have a question about how people handle night activities with their kids. We will have four kids in our party, ages 12, 9, 9 and 6. It is two families in adjoining rooms. If the grownups want to go out late to a movie or a club, do you think we can leave the kids in the rooms to sleep? I know the kids club is available late but I'm not sure I would want my kids to stay up that late. I honestly don't know if this will even come up (and even if it does it would only be for one or two nights I'm sure), but I was curious how other people have handled this situation.
Please, no flames about how I am a horrible parent for wanting to spend time away from my kids - I have read some of those threads and I am not interested in that kind of feedback. I am mainly asking because I have never been on a ship before and I just don't know how secure I would feel about the kids being alone in the room. For what it's worth, the 12 year old is very responsible and I would use her as a sitter at home.
Thanks for any help!
