the firstmickeys MAGICAL Western Cruise Aug 12-19: First Time Cruisers

We just got back from our second cruise last week (4 days on the Wonder). Our son has had check-out privileges on both that cruise and when we did the 7 day Western.

My wife and I have actually found it to be a great experience for our son who likes his independence because we know there are 1,000+ pairs of eyes of the crew members who are constantly keeping tabs on the kids. For example, on the 4 day, our room steward, Paul, would let us know when and where he last saw our son, even if we already knew.

The ship is a self-contained space so it's not like they can wander off. Our son spent most of his time in public areas like Studio Sea, the arcade or bopping in and out of the lab.

Anyway, that's been our experience. Every family and child is different.

Donna - hi! Just wanted to let you know we started off the 4 day with a Mojito. :thumbsup2
 
:wave: Bob! sighhhhhhhhhhh....I still miss those mojitos! No one else makes them as good! ;) :teeth:

I need to plan another cruise! :banana:

Donna... I'm up as far as pirate night, and loving the TR. You had me hooked right from the beginning when you said you were in 6042... we'll be there next Oct! Hope you left it in good shape for us! I would love to see more pics of the room/verandah if you have any.
