Hi aj7229,
You will have to take the kids with you to dinner the first night, but after that they should have a kids dinner every night at 6pm. They will have a kids club meeting the first night aboard and will give you a list of all ot the kids activities. Also they offer babysitting each night stating at 10pm for $6 per hour for the first child and $4 an hour for each additional child.
We were just on the Holiday and our daughter ate with the kids every night. She enjoyed this more and I know we did also.
