Thread: Mystery Dinner Nights

Do cruise lines offering the "Mystery Dinners" allow children?

I have never been on a cruise mystery dinner, but I have been to a few mystery weekends. They were not geared towards children. In fact, some of the stuff was a little to "off the shoulder" for childen. Not really bad though. I have on seen one child at a weekend though.
I know this is not what you asked, but I hope it helps.

Thanks for the reply!

Guess, I was thinking of children the ages of my grandchildren -- 10 & 14!

My children are 9 and 10, and I would not hesitate taking them on a mystery cruise. The humor may be a little risqué every now and then, but nothing near as bad as you see on most TV shows.
I am sure the cruise will have more things for kids (pre-teens) to do. There will be the pool, shows, and all. So, I am sure they will have fun. At the ages of your grandchildren I say go for it!
My tips: Pay attention to every detail. Even the smallest and simplest thing will lead you to the killer.
Most of all have fun.
*Please let me know the details of the mystery cruises. I would love to join one. I loved the mystery weekend. Add that to a cruise and I would be in heaven!
Talk to you soon,
Emily
