1) one cabin for 4 people is insane. NEVER again...
2) with 4 people in one cabin, and two of them are under the age of 10, you lose all privacy and dignity as an adult. As our 4 yr old said as he slapped his own butt, "get used to it, cause we're sharing a room."
3) any excursion you plan with kids must include water and a beach. If you don't, you'll get this face...A LOT!
4) at 40, you can't do what the kids do. I have 2 bruised ribs to prove it!
5) walkie-talkies are an amazing investment. Ean roamed the ship and only got lost once...which leads to...
6) being paged because you've lost your child is truly embarrassing, especially when you don't realize they are lost and holding both walkie-talkies
7) counsellors can and WILL kick your kid out of kids camp. Yep, Eli was kicked out...for spitting, hitting, running, and not listening. PROUD MOMENT:/
8) teach your kids about foreign accents before you leave home! You have no idea how many times our dinner waiter would ask Ean, "would you like to order?", and Ean answer, "no, i don't want any water." Oh my...it's all I could do not to laugh.
9) vacation with other family can be useful. Ean ran with my little sister who's 15, and Eli would rather walk & hold Grandpa's hand than anyone else's.
10) when kid camp gives your child a whistle, launch it from your balcony.
11) buy the adult beverage package. If you have kids, consider it "therapy"...and it's cheaper than a "therapist" when you get home.
