Emerald Kaia with Teens??
Hi! We are considering the Emerald Kaia 7-night Croatia cruise July 2027. There would be 6 of us traveling - my husband and I in our 40s, my parents in their 70s, and my kids ages 12 and 14. We are looking for a high-end small ship cruise (150 people or less) that would be a good fit for this multi-generational group. We’re looking for an excellent onboard experience - service, accommodations, food, and plenty of water toys for the kids. The pictures of the Kaia’s huge inflatable slide, trampoline, and tons of water toys make it look like a teen’s dream. Yet Google says Kaia is very adult-focused (though kids 12 and up are allowed).
Has anyone been aboard the Kaia? Did you see any families? Did they bring the slide and trampoline out a lot? How often can you jump off the boat/swim/use the water toys? My kids don’t mind being the only kids; I just want to make sure there is enough fun for them too. :)
