Trip Report - 9/24 to 10/3 (Finally!)

[joyebean]

I finally did my trip report, and it's posted on my website:

Most of it is devoted to our time in the parks, but I plan to add some to the cruise portion (we did 4 days in the parks and then a 4-day Wonder cruise).

Thanks for looking!

Great reports and pictures. You guys sure seemed like you had a swell time. Just curious, how would you compare the Oceaneers club with the Neverland Club?

Hmmm...they're similar but different!

Seriously...Neverland Club is stationary--everything's located in one place--and designed for kids to be in for a few hours at a time, and there's usually a different group of kids every time. Alex loved it.

The Oceaneer's Club, on the other hand, was more like a Day Camp. They took the kids various places on the ship--to see movies, to eat at various restaurants, etc. (the only place they didn't take 'em was swimming). Plus Alex got to know both the counselors and the other kids in her age group well, and was able to settle into interacting with them more (whereas in the NL club, she generally did things alongside other kids, rather than with them).

Her age group (5-7), also got to spend some time in the Oceaneer's Lab, depending on what was scheduled.

Alex loved this, too.

Summary: NL is essentially really cool, group babysitting, while OC is Day Camp.
