Island Escape Family
Deck 10 holds a glass-walled playroom, home to Palmy's Children's Club, which has three free-to-use, age-related activity programs; Palmy's Pals covers three- to six-year-olds, Palmy's Crew caters to kids aged 7 to 11 and Teen Club organizes events for older children, who have their own Action Zone arcade.
Opening hours range from 8 a.m. to 9.30 p.m. (varying according to a weekly timetable) and activities include talent shows, mask-making, face painting, games and discos.
The ship also offers babysitting services (at an extra cost), and a nice touch is the Breakfast Club, a scheme whereby, on certain days, kids are collected from the cabins and taken off for a fun breakfast, leaving mum and dad to enjoy a well-deserved lie-in.
The kids are encouraged to make the most of their adventures ashore; the walls of the Palmy's Children's Club are lined with youngsters' drawings and accounts of their travels (sample: "I went on a coch (sic) and woke up in ROME!").
