Thought I'd take some time to talk about the kids club on board the Sun Princess. Children between the ages of 3-12 can attend the kids clubs, it can be split into Princess Pelicans (3-7) and Shockwaves(8-12) but as there was only 28 children on this cruise they kept them all together. The kids club on sea days opened from 9-12, 1-5 & 5-10. On port days the times changed a little, however children could stay on the ship in kids club while their parents went on shore, which was handy if the parents wanted to do a tour or activity that was not suitable for children, or if the children didn't want to go.
We used this for Mystery Island, after swimming some of the Dwarfs didn't want to go back to look around and asked to stay in kids club instead, some returned to the island with us. This is the Dwarfs 3rd cruise and we found they enjoyed this kids clubs better than they had before. Some of the reasons for this is they could all stay together, on the other cruises they had all been split up. The smaller number of children meant they could enjoy more of the facilities without having to wait long for things, such as gaming consoles and they also got to know and become friends with all the kids.
All the activities on Princess cruises in kids club are included, an example is on their previous cruises if they wanted to do t-shirt colouring there would be a cost and if they didn't want to use their pocketmoney for it they missed out. Each day on Princess there would be a theme such as pirates or country and western and the Dwarfs would return to the cabin with various items relating to that theme, for example on pirate night they returned with a pirate hat, had had their faces painted with a beard and pirate patch, made a paper sword and had a bag of treasure (candy necklaces, bracelets).
The girls were old enough and responsible enough to sign themselves in, however were told straight out by the staff that if they misused the privilege it would be promptly taken from them. This thankfully never happened.
