Port Play (Kids Club)
Norwegian Sky offers Port Play when the ship is docked in port which is a complimentary group-sitting program for children aged 3-12 years old. A minimal fee ($6 per child/per meal) is charged during meal times.
Port Play is run by the Youth Staff in the Splash Academy Facility and parents are advised to sign up in advance due to limited places.
Hours of Operation are:
Port Day: Arrival into Port – Departure from Port
Overnight In Port: Arrival in Port – 8 pm
Norwegian Youth Staff are not able to change nappies/diapers or pull-ups and so if guests children are not toilet trained parents are given beepers or handy phones to alert them should their child need changing. Beepers and handy phones do not work ashore, so at least one parent must stay on board when their children are in the Youth Program.
