Thats not really how it works. They offer kid camps. Baby to 5, 6 to 10, 11 - 14, 15+ (I'm estimating). Kids can only sign themselves out if they are of a certain age with a parent's consent. They are not 24hr camps, you can leave your kids there if you want to go on an excursion, relax, or go clubbing. No sane parent would let a child walk around unattended with strangers and staterooms everywhere. If you do see a kid walking around alone, you just point and shake your head.Saw reports on this. Not my cup of tea. For starters, all the slides and stuff on top make it seem like it is geared towards young families, aka people dragging along their rugrats with them.
I read an opinion that made sense to me. The writer said that the reason families with kids like cruises is because they don't have to work as hard to keep an eye on their little ones. They can let them roam free then hunt them down later when needed. Some cruises even have bracelets for parents to located kids. So the parent can lay their fat ass by the pool while their kids are wreaking havoc on the other side of the ship.
Fuck that. I ain't got time to be grabbing a misbehaving kid by the collar trying to look for their dad.
My kids loved the camps and would ask when they were going back. My wife and I got some no-kid time, its a win win.
