Navigator of the Seas Children's / Kids' Programs & Babysitting

The Navigator of the Seas has kids' programs to entertain the younger cruisers. Youth groups are divided based on age. There are five age groups, and each has its own area and activities.

• The Aquanauts- ages 3 to 5,
• Explorers- ages 6 to 8,
• Voyagers- ages 9 to 11,
• Navigators- ages 12 to 14
• Teens- ages 15 to 17.

Navigators and older kids get access to parties at Fuel Teen Disco (with an Internet cafe and soda bar, the "Living Room" with books, games, and flat screen TVs) or the Back Deck. All of the Adventure Ocean programs are located starboard and aft on Deck 12.

Royal Caribbean Programs for Children Under Age 3

Supervised programs on Royal Caribbean are not available for children who are not potty trained or who are younger than 3. However, in partnership with Fisher-Price, there are special programs for Royal Babies who are 6 to 18 months old and Royal Tots for toddlers 18 to 36 months old. These programs are scheduled for parents and their little ones together throughout the cruise.

Babysitting is available on the Navigator of the Seas as a group or in-stateroom if personnel are available. Babysitting runs 10.00 USD per hour for one or two children in the same family and 15.00 USD per hour for three.

Navigator of the Seas Children's / Kids' Programs Tips:

• The daily activities for the various kids' programs are delivered to cabins every evening. They are also handed out by their respective Directors.
• The Navigator of the Seas has a curfew. Youth 17 and under must be in their cabins by 1:00 AM unless they are supervised by adults or they are in an organized activity.
• For babysitting, minimum age is twelve months. Rates are subject to change, and babysitting arrangements also depend upon staff availability.
• All Royal Caribbean ships have certification for being Autism Friendly, so there are games, movies, and activities for use in cabins as well as in youth activities!
