  • Sea Days: Usually open in the morning (e.g., 9:00 AM), close for a break in the afternoon, and reopen in the evening (e.g., 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM or later). Some ships offer extended hours for an additional fee.
  • Port Days: Often open earlier (e.g., 8:00 AM) to accommodate parents going on excursions, and may remain open throughout the day until evening.
  • First Day: Opens in the evening after the mandatory muster drill for registration and orientation.
  • Late Night: Many ships offer paid late-night group babysitting sessions (after 10:00 PM), often called “Late Night Party Zone.”
