On the boat they have various club rooms for different age groups. Vibe is for 14 - 17 year old teens, Edge is for 11 - 14 year old kids, and the Oceaneer Club and Lab were for ages 3 - 11, so it was where our kids hung out.
It was amazing. The Club and Lab were two separate places connected by a kitchen/workshop. The Club was geared towards the younger kids and the Lab was for the older ones.
The pictures above were of the Club, it has a awesome interactive dance floor where the staff would play games and dance, there were themed play rooms like Andy's Room, the Monster Inc. room, and the Tinker bell room. There kids could play and explore and the staff would lead crafts and creative centres where kids could learn, play and all that jazz.
And as our youngest said "they just let me play and play until I got to go pee, then they took me to bathroom!".
The other picture of the submarine had computers that kids could use to play games. The whole entire space was fantastic!! I would say each of the Oceaneers Club and Lab were an easy 6000 square feet each of space to play.
The Lab had more video games, bigger and better crafts, a large room where kids could watch Disney movies (surprise surprise), and a few cool simulator games. It was perfect for our middle guy, he seemed to enjoy relaxing and hanging out there.
...there were a lot less fights between the kids for the 3 hours after he was at the Oceaneers Lab.
We would check the kids in, like you would with your coats, if there was something going on they wanted to do or if they just wanted to hang out, and when any of the kids wanted out the staff would call and text the cell phones they provided.
It happened a few times that we would get a text that our middle guy wanted out, but when we made our way there to get him he would say "No I want to stay, I just wanted to see if you missed me?".
But the absolute BEST thing about the kids clubs were the hand washers! It is the picture above of a machine in a cabinet that had two hand holes in it. You stuck your hands in and jets of warm water and soap would spray all over and clean your hands, in a very gentle massaging motions, awesome. Each and every kid, and parent picking up any kid, had to use it going in and out. It was like how I envisioned hand washing in the future, but with less robots and ligers.
