ADVENTURE FOR ALL AGES

DROP OFF & PICK-UP

For the safety and comfort of both you and your little adventurer, we kindly ask that only one parent/guardian drop off and collect the child(ren) each session.

Please ensure that the person dropping off/picking up a child is a person on the authorised pick up list and that they are carrying their own SeaPass® card.

For safety and security, whilst in port, the person dropping off and/or collecting a child from Adventure Ocean, must be 18 years or above.

ROYAL BABIES AND TOTS: 6 - 36 MONTHS*

This is home-away-from-home for our littlest adventurers. A space where adventure time, snack time and nap time all come together. Our goal is to keep our babies and toddlers happy — free to explore and make new friends.

*There is a service charge of $6 per hour per child before 6:00 pm and $8 per hour per child after 6:00 pm. Bookings will be cancelled 15 minutes after the booking start time - please contact the Nursery if you are running late.

Contact the Royal Babies & Tots at 3095 or 558944.

AQUANAUTS: 3 - 5 YEAR OLDS

Whatever they’ve dreamt up today, the sky’s the limit for our Aquanauts. Here, pirate ships and space shuttles are way more than make believe. Because storytelling sparks their imagination — and that makes it real to them. Children have to be fully potty trained and diaper free to participate in this age group. Contact the Aquanauts at 3059.

EXPLORERS: 6 - 8 YEAR OLDS

For Explorers, there’s no end to activities that engage young imagination. Like science experiments, including Space Mud, Get Buggy and Germ Jungle, arts and crafts with Adventure Art and much more! Contact the Explorers at 3028.

VOYAGERS: 9 - 11 YEAR OLDS

The Voyagers group offers endless ways for kids ages 9 - 11 to play. They can stoke their competitive spirit at games, show off their creative skills with age-appropriate art and crafts and learn with science experiments, including Germ Jungle, Volcanoes and more! Contact the Voyagers at 3036.

FAMILY ACTIVITY FUN

If your family enjoys doing scavenger hunts, word search challenges or arts & crafts together, stop at Adventure Ocean on deck 12 aft, to select a Family Activity of your choice from our list of fun!

TOY LENDING PROGRAM

Couldn’t fit all the toys you wanted for your little one? Be sure to check out our Toy Lending program. We have a collection of developmental toys suitable for children ages 6-36 months. Parents can borrow and exchange toys for new toys throughout the cruise.

SAFETY 1 - 2 - 3

Parents, please ensure that your child wears the wristband that was specially placed for them in your stateroom and they are continue to wear it for the duration of the cruise.

In the unlikely event of an emergency, proceed directly to your muster station. Adventure Ocean staff will meet you there with your child(ren).

CHILD SAFETY RATIOS

In compliance with safety regulations for the children within our program, the number of participants per sessions is limited per staff. We will do our best to accomodate your child as soon as we can.

BEHAVIOR POLICY

Inappropriate behavior will not be permitted during Adventure Ocean activities. Youth demonstrating such behavior will be issued up to two age-appropriate time-outs. Upon a third incident a parental conference will take place and a potential dismissal from Adventure Ocean activities.

LATE PICK-UP POLICY

Please note the designated pick-up time for each activity. Following a 15-minute grace period, you are subject to a late fee of $1 per child, per minute. If your shipboard activity runs late, not to worry — you will not be charged.

DIAPER POLICY

All children participating in Adventure Ocean activities must be at least 3 years old and be fully potty trained (with the exception of children in the Royal Babies & Tots Nursery).

SELF-SIGNERS

With parental consent, only 9- to 11-year-olds have the opportunity to sign themselves in and out of the program while at sea. If your child is a self-signer, please make sure that they always carry their SeaPass® card with them for safety and identification purposes. Children may not self-sign out whilst the ship is in port.

CURFEW

Adventurers under the age of 18 who are not accompanied by a parent or guardian have a curfew of 1:00 am, unless they’re participating in programs hosted by Adventure Ocean or Teen Staff.

Dress Code

Dress To Impress

YOUR HEALTH IS OUR PRIORITY

We’re all in this together. Here are some things to keep in mind for the health and safety of everyone onboard.

Dress Code: Dress To Impress

It’s fun to dress up every now and then. Think of this as a night out in your best look – suits, sports coats, cocktail dresses, gowns and “going out outfits” are all great options. Photographers will be all around the ship ready to capture your great looks.

Wash Up and Watch Out!

To best prevent illnesses, wash your hands with soap and warm water after bathroom breaks and before eating. Feeling ill? Norovirus symptoms include upset stomach, vomiting and diarrhea. Should you experience any of these symptoms, contact our Medical Staff by dialing 51.

GOOD TO KNOW

Cruise Vessel Security & Safety Act (CVSSA)

The Security Guide and embassy information is available for your review at the Guest Services Desk. Additionally, you can find this information listed on our Company website.

Assistive Listening System (ALS)

Guests may request and sign out Assistive Listening Systems (ALS) or Assistive Listening Devices (ALD) available at the Guest Services Desk.

Safety 1–2–3

In compliance with our Youth Evacuation Plan, children will be given colored wristbands that correspond with their muster stations. In the event of an emergency, Youth Staff will escort all children participating in Adventure Ocean activities to their muster stations for reunification with their parents/guardians.

Take Precautions Ashore

Safe traveler tips: avoid mass gatherings as a security precaution and avoid being late back to the ship. Be cautious and practice situational awareness when exploring new areas. If on Shore Excursions, stick with your group. If traveling on your own, consider alternative routes and allow yourself extra travel time to and from the ship.

Our Pipes are Sensitive!

Our toilet system onboard is very sensitive. Please do not flush anything except toilet paper. Thank you!

ONBOARD EXPENSE ACCOUNT

Setting Up Your Account

If you did not set up an account during Online Check-In or during boarding in the cruise terminal, you can do so in the Royal App or at the Guest Services Desk on Deck 5. Onboard Expense Accounts can be set up with a credit card, a debit card, or cash. Our ships utilize a cashless system, so your SeaPass card will be the only way to make purchases while onboard. Please note that a temporary hold of $99.75 USD will be placed on your card to verify funds. Onboard purchases over $100 USD will generate additional holds. The hold will be released within 3 to 5 business days after your cruise ends, but can take up to 30 days, depending on your bank. You may add other guests to your expense account by visiting the Guest Services desk. A daily limit can be placed on arcade spending. All charges can be viewed in the Royal Caribbean App. Printed receipts will be provided for each onboard purchase, and a preliminary statement will be delivered to your stateroom on the last morning of your cruise. A final statement will be e-mailed to you within 24 hours of departing the ship on the last day of your cruise. Guests on a cash account will need to settle their account at Guest Services prior to disembarking the ship.

DINING

Specialty Dining Reservations

Specialty Dining reservations can be made through the Royal Caribbean App. You may also dial [7000] on your stateroom phone and select the restaurant you wish to dine in or visit the restaurant and make a reservation with the Maitre d' outside. The Maitre d' can also assist you with making changes to your seating.

Room Service

Continental breakfast is complimentary. Both the All-Day Menu and American Breakfast will have a delivery fee of $7.95 USD plus an 18% gratuity for each order. To view the menu, visit the Royal App or browse on the TV in your stateroom. When you’re ready to order, dial [7000] from your stateroom phone.

If not already pre-paid, an $18.00 USD gratuity ($20.50 USD for Suite guests) is added to each guest's onboard account daily to help recognize superior service from crew during your cruise. This gratuity is shared among dining & culinary services staff, stateroom attendants, and other hotel services teams working behind the scenes. In addition to daily gratuities, an 18% gratuity is automatically added to all beverage, mini bar items, specialty dining, and spa & salon purchases.
