A-Z Guide to Cruise Holidays 7Children's FacilitiesBlack Watch has a Games Room which is normally set up for Table Tennis, but is adapted to a Children's Playroom on cruises falling within the main school holiday periods. Balmoral has an Arts and Crafts Room that again will be converted to a Children's facility during the main school holidays.

Parents and/or guardians must always sign their children in and out of this facility.Babysitting We regret that we are not able to offer any babysitting serviceChurch ServicesAfter breakfast on Sundays a Christian service with prayers and readings will be held, led by the Cruise Director. During Christmas, Easter and Grand Voyages there will be a Chaplain on board who will lead multi-denominational services.Cocktail PartiesAll Guests will be invited to the Welcome Cocktail Party hosted by the Captain.
