Nickelodeon Family Cruises

It's Nickelodeon Family Cruise Time!

Nickelodeon Cruise worth the money? Is it too long? Is it too crowded? How about Kid Carnival Cruise?

I have a 12yr old boy and 7yr old girl. The lowest price for a family of 4 is $5000.00 and cruise is for 7days. Please respond if you went last year.

Is it just as good to go on a Kid Carnival Cruise? Please respond if you have been on this cruise.

Leaving out of California.

I think your best bet is to go with Carnival Cruise Lines. They're much cheaper and have pretty much the same activities to do as the Nick Cruise.

$5,000 dollars is pretty pricey for a family of four. You should go on a Disney Cruise if your willing to spend that much:

7 Tips to Curb Cranky Kids at Dreamworld

Dreamworld Theme Park at the Gold Coast, Queensland, offers you and your family fun and adventure all day to keep your kids happy. Rides to suit thrill seekers, the not so adventurous and tiny tots.

However, having been there with my husband,and our 6yr old and 8yr old nephews, I learnt quite a lot that I wished I had known beforehand and during our visit. We chose a day when it was extremely hot and humid, knew nothing much about what we would find there or how to attack it. Here are some tips on making your day run smoother than ours did. Seven Control Procedures to put in place to make cranky kids happy again.

No 1. Make sure that you tell the small child that the Wiggles group will not be there at Dreamworld, unless you know for sure that they will be. Our 6 yr old nephew spent all of his time looking for them and not really enjoying the entertainment, except his ride in the Wiggles Big Red Car. Even then, he was sure that the Wiggles would pop out of a door at any moment.

No 2. Make sure that you and your kids have big hats, sunglasses, face cloths, sunscreen, a large carry bag, camera and buy a bottle of water on your entry.

If you have a partner, consider taking two mobile phones. It is a good idea to give the kids your phone number to hand over to a staff member, so you can be phoned if they wander off.

Maybe you should place your phone number on your sun glasses,too. After a visit to the ladies room, I left mine behind, so after a hot and frustrating walk to the front entrance to enquire at the information centre, I was thankful to have had them handed in. Lucky for me, as they were on loan from my sister.

No 3. If there are two adults and different aged children, the adventurous adult should take the older children straight to the fast rides. Unless you have a willing teenager, you will have to get on the rides with the kids.

The other adult can take the small child or children to The Wiggles World. This area is fantastic. Don't forget to take your camera to collect great memories for your family.

No 4. Introduce your small children gently to the Wiggles friends - Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus, Wags the Dog and Captain Feathersword, as littlies can find them a bit scary in real life. My nephew would only approach Wags the Dog, but not the others. I still haven't worked out why. He is enraptured with them at home and sings all the Wiggles songs and watches their movies. He was terrified that Captain Feathersword would approach our table, but I was laughing most of the time at the Captain's antics.

No 5. Give each other about 2 hours or more with each child or children and meet back at Wiggle World in front of the 'Yummy Yummy'shop, or an agreed venue, where you can buy lunch, icecream and drinks. If you want to avoid the long, long queues, perhaps have lunch a bit sooner. As you know, toddlers and older kids will not like this wait. Or one partner could take the children on the train while the other lines up in the queue for food. All of the food venues are close to the railway station. It takes about 15 - 30 minutes to complete a train ride. It depends how busy Dreamworld is at the time.

No 6. It could be a good idea to give the kids icecream or cold drinks before departing on the train, as it can be a little boring for the older kids. It is a great train ride, but continually stops at stations, letting Dreamworld visitors jump off at other entertainment areas or the restaurant, which you might choose to do, too.

No 7. When you and your partner have had enough of the walking, riding, waiting in queues, or tired complaining children, jump on Captain Sturt's paddle wheel boat for a wonderfully refreshing 30 minute cruise. Sit back and listen to the happy Australian songs and rest your aching feet. Your kids will probably sing along as my nephew and I did. This can be a calming end to your day or just a rest before hitting all the other entertainment areas, such as Nickelodeon Central, Tiger Island, The Australian Wildlife Experience, Big Brother and The FlowRider and lots more.

So, you may have to schedule another visit to Dreamworld. It's a great incentive to get better behaviour from the kids, isn't it.
