Our Ship

We had so much fun on our cruise. We cruised on the Norwegian Dawn. We had lots of fun on our sea day. The kids crew had many activities planned for the family. We did a Scavenger Hunt, The Matrix Hunt, Family WII Challenge, Family Amazing Race. While participating in each of them we were very competivtive. We came in first for the scavenger hunt and the matrix hunt. Lucas started talking smack. Our team name was the Rockets. Lucas would say if "you see the rockets signed up you might as well not join." He was very cute. On the Scavenger hunt we had to

get answers to many questions on a sheet of paper. On the Matrix game we were given a clue that would take us to another place on the ship. We would then have to call in for the next clue. Of course the WII Challenge was just playing on the WII having fun. Probably our favorite wash the Family Amazing Race. We had to pick someone to write and someone to role the dice. So Nick did our writing and Meg roled. Whenever our team rolled a six Nick would start writing until another team rolled a six. When your team hit 100 they gave us a clue and sent us on our hunt.

We had to bring our clue back and do a task. I had to blow up a balloon until it popped, Nick had to eat 2 cookies without anything to drink and fast, Lucas had to roll a pair of dice until he rolled 3 doubles, Meg had to color a picture of Bob the Builder. They gave her 5 colors to use. Each item was seperate and non of the colors could touch. At one point in the race Lucas tripped. When I helped him up he said "don't worry about me. If I fall I will be fine just go on." What the ultimate sacrifice for the win. Talk about team player.

We had so much fun. We looked forward to each of the activities they planned for the families. When I commented about how much I enjoyed each of them they said it was new and only on this ship. They should definitly do this on all of them.

Here of course is one of the many towel animals we had awaiting us when we came back to our cabin each night. The kids looked forward to seeing each of the animals. I think the elephant was our favorite.

Here we are boarding the ship. Of course they have the Kids Crew mascot there to meet the kids and invite them to sign up for the program. By the end of the week Lucas was crying because he was going to miss all his new friends he had made. Every day Megan would ask when it was time for her to go play.

They also had a great kids pool on the ship. If the kids weren't in the Kids Crew they were at the pool. This area had two slides, two pools and a hot tub. Here Meg is showing off her sliding technic.

Lucas tried to see how fast he could go down the slide. This was one of his favorite things.

Here the kids are in the pool. It also had two water guns. One on each side that you can swival and try to hit someone with.
