Children’s eligibility and programs
The line lists ship-specific kids’ clubs and notes that Paradise does not have a separate tween club. Its Islander family announcement describes four youth clubs covering ages 3–17.
Planning the trip together
Compare the club arrangement for each child on your selected ship. If siblings fall into different groups, decide how much shared time they want outside supervised activities. Review dining options and any extra charges before setting a budget. For a short cruise, complete essential registration early so the first afternoon is not spent arranging the basics.
What to check with Margaritaville at Sea

Before paying a family cruise deposit
- Give the line each child’s age on embarkation day and the exact itinerary before paying a deposit.
- Confirm a bed for every guest, cot availability, and any connecting-cabin arrangement in the booked category.
- Check passports, visas and consent documents for children travelling with one parent or another guardian.
- Ask about club registration, independent toilet use, care hours, fees and age or height limits on activities.
Age rules, programs and availability can change. The cruise line’s current terms for your booking and departure govern your trip.
