Freestyle dining means you eat what you want when you want it! For parents that option alone can be very beneficial. Beyond just the dining options Norwegian has plenty of kid friendly activities on board. Norwegians Splash Academy is offered to children 3-12 and separated into three groups. What\u2019s really nice about this program is that it includes a lot of interactive activities and each group has a circus school feature where the kids can learn everything from ball juggling to plate spinning.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Turtles<\/strong>: The turtles are for ages 3-5. These young cruisers can enjoy sensory play, developmental activities, arts &amp; crafts, and of course circus school!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seals<\/strong>: Ages 6-9 can enjoy team-building activities, treasure hunts, and of course video games! At the Seals circus school cruisers may learn how to juggle scarfs or spin ropes and plates.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dolphins<\/strong>: If your child is between ages 10-12 they will love the Dolphins. During circus school they may learn to walk on stilts or juggle balls. Other activities with the dolphins include scavenger hunts, video games, team building activities, and arts and crafts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Entourage<\/strong>: Norwegian didn\u2019t forget to include the teenagers! Entourage is set up into two separate groups for ages 13-14 and 15-17. Both include similar activities such as themed events, video game challenges, and even pool parties. At night the teen lounge turns into a dance club for extra fun!<picture data-avif-picture=\"1\"><source type=\"image\/avif\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/ncl_SplshAcdmy_Climbing_Girl-1-400x266.avif 1x\"><img data-avif-wrap=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-51031 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/ncl_SplshAcdmy_Climbing_Girl-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"ncl_SplshAcdmy_Climbing_Girl (1)\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/picture><\/li>\n<li><strong>Guppies<\/strong>: For the tiniest cruiser Norwegian offers their guppies program.
