Kids Clubs On Royal Caribbean

If you have any kids club questions you must check out our kids club guide! This gives you the ultimate lowdown on what to expect in a Royal Caribbean Kids Club. Including times and any extra costs for late night kids clubs on Royal Caribbean Cruise Ships.
Is Royal Caribbean A Good Cruise Line For Babies?
Royal Caribbean don’t only do Cruising with kids well, they also cater for babies. Check out our full Royal Caribbean Royal Tots babies guide and feel assured when you book that they really do have it all covered.
Because cruising with a baby is no mean feat, however in our opinion being on a cruise ship felt so much easier when our children were babies than being on a land based holiday. It is really important to have a baby splash zone as babies are often not allowed in the Hot tubs or pools wearing swim diapers so take a look at our guide on which ships have them.
