FUN FOR EVERYONE.
This is the family vacation you’ve been dreaming of. A place where you
can unwind while your kids are just winding up. A place where you can
all agree on what to do next.Welcome to NCL and NCL America’s Kid’s
Crew™ and Teen’s Crew™ programs. They are custom designed for toddlers,
teens and everyone in between.
KID’S CREW AND TEEN’S CREW
How do we do it? Every exciting moment is filled with age-appropriate
entertainment in mind. For kids from age 2-12, we offer everything from
arts and crafts to pajama parties. Teen’s Crew, for age 13-17, has
options like pool parties, a teen disco, a video arcade and much more.
Now, you can enjoy a hot-stone massage, a yoga class or a cocktail by
the pool while they’re having the time of their lives. But don’t think
of Kid’s Crew as babysitting – there’s very little sitting involved.
This program is active, energetic, educational and, most importantly,
fun.Whether your kids are at our elaborate children’s facilities, taking
a dip in one of our pools, or doing any other activity, they will be
under the constant supervision of our carefully chosen staff of youth
counselors from leading universities and organizations. Each team
counselor attends a special training course on safety, communication
skills and confidence-building.
NO WORRIES
It’s easy for you to relax when you know your kids are safe and happy.
In fact, safety is of paramount importance to our staff. Each child’s
name, stateroom number, allergies, medications and lifeboat station
numbers are written on the back of their Kid’s Crew ID bracelets. Teens
are free to come and go as they please, and children 12 years and
younger are not allowed to leave the program unless picked up by a
parent. And when the day is done, you’ll find our family suites and
connecting and adjacent staterooms are perfect for family togetherness
and privacy.
