to participate in the Fisher-Price Aqua Babies and Aqua Tots Programs.

Norwegian Cruise Lines
This is the family vacation you’ve been dreaming of. A place where
you can unwind while your kids are just winding up. A place where you can
all agree on what to do next. Welcome to NCL and NCL America’s Kid’s Crew™
and Teen’s Crew™ programs. They are custom designed for toddlers, teens
and everyone in between.

they’re having the time of their lives. But don’t think of Kid’s Crew as
babysitting – there’s very little sitting involved. This program is active,
energetic, educational and, most importantly, fun. Whether your kids are
at NCL’s elaborate children’s facilities, taking a dip in one of the pools,
or doing any other activity, they will be under the constant supervision
of a carefully chosen staff of youth counselors from leading universities

on safety, communication skills and confidence-building.
