Grab your family, put on your sneakers, and follow the clues. Each team will race to gather information from all around the ship.

 

Door Decor Contest
Have your kids create a  poster, artwork, or anything else to decorate their cabin door. They can pick a theme or go wild in designing anything relating to cruising or our destinations. Your family can work on this ahead of time or make something at the welcome session. We will tour the group's doors and see all the creativity.
