Now our guests under 18 can enjoy complimentary membership and all its benefits! We have extended membership of the Crown & Anchor Loyalty Programme to younger guests aged 0-17 and included some exclusive new benefits. Young members will automatically be awarded their parent's membership level; whether Gold, Platinum, Diamond or Diamond Plus when enrolled in the programme. For example, kids with more than 5 completed cruise credits (Platinum) will enjoy priority check-in. With 10 completed cruise credits (Diamond and Diamond Plus), they'll enjoy priority departure from the ship and entry to the priority waiting list for sold-out shore excursions.

Adventure Ocean® - for kids, there can be no greater adventure than sailing the high seas. And to make it even more special, we created our Adventure Ocean® Youth Programme, specifically designed to entertain children from 6 months to 17 years with an exciting range of fun and educational supervised activities. There's even the added excitement of Adventure Beach - an area especially for families to enjoy together, with a swimming pool and water slide, it's loads of fun!

Family holidays will never be the same again. With Adventure Ocean®, you can do activities as a family, plus parents get some free time to themselves - and children get some time to have their kind of fun. That includes special children-only meals, a TV station with channels just for children, lots of great play areas and even a nightclub for teens. Royal Caribbean cruises are designed to bring families closer together and for everyone to have the time of their life!

Who is it for? - Adventure Ocean® is a free Programme, open to all guests aged 6 months to 17 years. Children are cared for by age: 6 to 18 months, 18 to 36 months, 3 to 5 years; 6 to 8 years; 9 to 11 years; 12 to 14 years; and 15 to 17 years. If your child wants to join a different age group, they must participate in one day-activity session and one night-activity session with their proper age group first. The Adventure Ocean® Manager and youth staff will then make the decision based on their maturity level.

The People Behind the Programme - each Adventure Ocean® staff member holds a college degree in education, recreation or a related field, from an accredited college or university, or has qualified equivalent experience in working with children aged 6 months to 17 years. All are fully trained and certified in children's first aid and have an extensive backround in working with groups of children. So relax - your children are in safe hands.

Eat, Drink and Be Merry - for our youngest guests, we offer a children's menu featuring all their favourites: pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, peanut butter, and macaroni cheese. Kids have their own drinks programmes too. The Unlimited Soda Package lets them purchase a fountain soda/juice package so they can enjoy as many fountain sodas and juices as they want.

On selected nights, our youth staff host dinners in our specialty restaurants. It's a great opportunity for children to eat with other kids and for parents to enjoy a meal alone.

Adventure Family - the idea of Adventure Family is for children and their parents to get together and participate in fun onboard activities like ice-skating and karaoke, as well as beach games that are played shore side. It's a great way for the entire family to have fun.

Time for Mum and Dad - as a holiday for the whole family, Royal Caribbean also provides quiet time for mum and dad. That can be during the day, while the children are at their own Adventure Ocean® Programme, or at night, while the children are with babysitters.

For older children, we offer group sitting in the Late Night Party Zone. The service is offered from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. in our youth facilities and children must be at least three years of age. The rate is $5 USD an hour per child.

For younger children, we also offer individual sitting in your stateroom from 8 a.m until 2 a.m. Children must be at least one year old. Rates are generally between $8 and $10 USD an hour, depending on the number of children in your family. Payments must be made in cash. We require 24 hours advance notice and the guests can confirm the service with Guest Relations upon boarding.

Please note: Children who are not toilet trained and nappy and pull up free are not allowed in the pools or whirlpools.
