I am soon to embark on the Dream and still don't really get what the Oceaneer's Club is all about. Does anyone have experience with a preschooler (~4) in the club, what they do, etc.?
If you are not fond of your son with all of the computers you can ask for a note to be made in his account. It is not a guarantee but the counselors will try to encourage him to participate in other things. Another note is that the lab is a lot more computers than the club so if he is the club and it switches over to the lab he will not have as many non-technology options.the club videos showed a lot of computers (not sure what I think about that).
I don't recommend leaving a child in the club all day. The primary thing kids do at the clubs is play on the computer consoles. Those are shared, so your child likely won't have one to himself all day, and even if he could, would you really want that?I am soon to embark on the Dream and still don't really get what the Oceaneer's Club is all about.

Thanks for the replies!
Youtube videos of the pool decks and club area have made me paranoid about what a 4YO would do all day on the ship. The pools seem smaller than I expected, and the club videos showed a lot of computers (not sure what I think about that).
I am completely checking out of work for this cruise, so I am not too keen for him to be gone for large parts of it. But it would be a nice touch if the club offered something fun for him.
While the pools were busy on our recent Wonder cruise, they were not at all too busy for DD5. She played in the small pool and on the splash pads a LOT, and would just come over to our chairs when she wanted something to drink or a snack! I got her on the waterslide on probably day four, and she loved it and would go down it again and again - she has enough direction sense to be able to find the stairs, ride the slide, and then come back to us, which was nice. Although she did do the slide six times in a row. I went over a couple times to make sure she wasn't lost, and the lifeguard was like, "Nope, she went right back up the steps!"
