Creator's Key Takeaways

four course meals on a cruise can be hard for kids to sit through so I'm about to share with you five things to keep your kids entertained and none of them are a tablet

I have been cruising for over 20 years with five of those years working on cruise ships

my first go-to item is a small simple toy in whatever theme your child is into at the moment for us it's dinosaurs

one important tip is that all of these activities need to be a surprise your child should not see them or play with them until the actual vacation
