Allure of the Seas – Fisher-Price Activities

Being a first time cruiser, I didn’t know Fisher-Price and Royal Caribbean have a partnership providing fun for babies and tots on-board. This post continues my series of review, pictures and tips for a family cruise on this magnificent ship. I made big-time use of the toy lending program, the Fisher-Price play classes, shows and more. Let’s start with registration…

We registered our toddler at the nursery, hoping to drop him off in the care of the staff and have some quality parent/big kids time (didn’t work so well…more on that below). We were given a Fisher-Price bag to fill with what he needed while being baby sat (diapers, wipes, sippy cup, snack). Also, in the bag was a cd and colouring book (colouring book came in handy for in-room-activity). Want to know what our room looked like?…my post on Allure of the Seas – Staterooms might be of interest then.

Ah, those Little People.

The Fisher-Price Royal Babies – Royal Tots Play Class was awesome. In a nutshell, the program starts with a song, follows an age-appropriate theme, free play and then ends with a song. I took my son to every session (while my husband took the big kids to the pool). I kinda loved the Mommy/baby play time.

So about the boy going to the nursery. ONCE. In seven days.

Though the nursery was filled with comforting images of his Little People friends…he didn’t like it. You can’t blame a baby for wanting to hang with his family instead.

The Little People Live Show was a 30 minute performance. The Birthday Party themed show consisted of songs, birthday party crowns for the kids to wear and even loot boxes to take home.  Related and  easy-reading: my post on Allure of the Seas – Activities

This is as close as my son got to driving a power wheels. On the Allure, they opened up the basketball court for little kids to drive power wheels up and down the court. Alas, you had to be 2 to really drive.

We’ll just have to go back…right?
