Children’s eligibility and programs
Princess describes The Treehouse for ages 3–7 and The Lodge for 8–12. Registration and sign-in/sign-out arrangements depend on age; review the onboard-experience FAQ for the rules that apply to your children.
Planning the trip together
Ask about teen activities separately when travelling with a mixed-age family. Check toilet-training requirements and parent-supervised options for a younger child. On an itinerary with long shore days, alternate ambitious outings with quieter family time. Confirm any paid care or activities in advance so the youth program’s inclusion is not confused with every possible family extra.
