Well, I picked Alex up early from school and we headed down to the Neckar. He wore his pirate shirt, a bandana, and I drew an eye-patch and some stubble onto his face, so he would look like a real pirate.
The ship was already there when we arrived, flying the jolly roger and was lovingly decorated. The crew were all dressed up as pirates as well and Alex spent a while trying to figure out if they were real pirates or people just dressed up as pirates. It was fun to follow his logic.
We were the first people on board!
Alex was thrilled to discover that real eye-patches were to be had, so he quickly added one to his outfit.
Once the ship pushed off, the main 'pirate' started telling stories and playing games with the kids. There was even a treasure hunt all over the ship and a treasure chest full of candy.
They played games on deck and under deck.
After Alex got his balloon sword, there was no stopping him.
And so we cruised for 3.5 hours along the lovely Neckar all the way to Neckargmünd and back -
not that anyone on board noticed the beautiful landscape...
In the end, all the kids received a final prize
and this little pirate was pretty tired. Happy, but tired.
Thank you for the great post. MV Grand Celebration is also a cruise for kids & fully packed with fun activities.
