Creator's Key Takeaways

Every youth counselor on board holds a bachelor's degree in education, recreation, or a related field, and they bring years of experience working with large groups of children.

The Adventure Ocean program is consistently rated as one of the best in the cruise industry because it balances educational activities with pure fun.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Set a daily budget with your kids for the arcade since games operate on a pay-per-play basis using the SeaPass card.
Note that the Ultimate Abyss requires a minimum height of 44 inches.
