What to bring Families very rarely travel light and the younger your family, the more essentials there seem to be. That’s why, if you choose a cruise that departs and returns to Southampton, there are no restrictions on the amount of luggage you can bring. So long as you can fi t it comfortably into your cabin then you’re welcome to bring as many essentials as you like. This means that prams are welcome, as is a favourite travel cot, as many supplies as you need and, of course, armfuls of favourite toys to make your little one’s holiday as enjoyable as yours.
Going ashore The fun needn’t stop when your ship arrives in port. With a range of family-friendly shore excursions available at many destinations, you and your family can make the most of your time ashore. All activities are professionally organised and range from treasure hunts on Caribbean beaches to swimming with dolphins, independent city tours to transfers to local beaches and waterparks.
Feeling safe We know children love to be active and explore, so all of our children’s activities and facilities have been designed to be child-friendly. Each of the children’s club rooms feature high door handles and in the
balcony cabins there are protective balcony nets, available on request. There are ‘sign in’ and ‘sign out’ procedures so we know who’s with us at all times. All our Reef Rangers have extensive experience of planning and facilitating activities for 2-17 year olds, as well as having passed enhanced CRB checks. You can find out more about the specific qualifications they have at
www.pocruises.co.uk/family. Finally, in the unlikely event that you need them, our on board medical centres are fully equipped and staffed by qualified doctors and nurses.
Dining and dress codes Children are of course welcome in all of our restaurants, but we also offer a special children’s tea every night featuring all the food that children will enjoy: sausages, fi sh fi ngers and pizza to name just a few (for babies we offer a selection of baby food and infant milk). We also offer a range of healthy options, including fresh fruit and vegetarian dishes. These are all served in our informal buffet restaurants so children can be casually dressed whenever they eat there, and if children are going to be with you in the evening in the more formal restaurants and theatre then, even on our Black Tie and Smart evenings, children can still dress more casually adopting our Evening Casual dress code (see page 16).
