Taking Children On The Ferry
By richpat1 | March 3, 2008
Children are naturally adventurous and will love the excitement of going on a giant boat. If you have anxieties about the journey do not let your children see as this will make them nervous too.
Most children will be fine on the ferry so you have no need to worry about them being ill. If the worst happens contact the customer service desk as soon as possible and they’ll do all they can to help. You might want to take some seasickness tablets with you suitable for children.
Some ferries have areas for younger children to play. This is a good idea as it’ll help tire your toddlers out and help them sleep better. Never leave your children unattended on the ferry journey as it will be a strange and potentially dangerous place if they’re left to roam on their own. Some longer trip ferries have swimming pools and these can be great fun to spend time in with the kids. Remember to take your swimming things.
Most restaurants on board have a children’s menu, high chairs will also be available and if you need help during the meal do not hesitate to ask the staff. They are well experienced with helping passengers have a pleasant journey, and will do all they can to assist.
Some ferries allow children into the bar areas, although some might have a strictly over 18s area. If you’re not sure then ask crew members for advice. A walk in deck as the ship sets sail or docks is always exciting for children as there’s lots of things to watch.
When booking your ferry crossing you will find lots of useful information about the facilities available on board. It can be handy to print this out and let the children read about the ferry in advance.
Most children will find the ferry an amazing experience that they’ll remember for a long time, they’ll enjoy all the new things they see and do!
Some basic things to remember- make sure you have bottled water and juice to drink in the cabin at night and some snacks. Pack seasickness tablets but don’t make a big issue of it as most children will be absolutely fine on board. Take a few familiar toys for them, plus plenty of baby wipes - they’re invaluable for all forms of travel.
