Q: The ages range from 5-13. They will be seated together (in a cruise ship dining room) during formal meals and the concern is that they will not be able to sit still that long. However, since it is a very formal setting, they will not be able to get up and roam. Ideas? Help? just thought i'd add....we're going with our entire family, so the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. will all be there-- no one to leave them with
A: Coloring books or books with word searches and mazes would keep them busy for awhile, hopefully you won't be making them do this too many days in a row. See if your cruise ship has a babysitter, and feed the kids earlier and drop them off at the daycare, and then go and eat your dinner stress free. Good luck!
