Family of 6 going on the Miracle to the Western Caribbean on 26 March this will be our last big family vacation before our oldest goes off to college. Our kids are 9,12,15 and 18. What do the older kids usually do on sea days and in the evenings that is fun for them? Also, can they share a beverage card and what type of beverages can they get? Any virgin drinks or is it just pop? Thank you. Gennine

personaly I would not get a card for the soda, they have so much available to drink on board there are dispensers in all dining areas that provide lemonade, ice tea, fruit punch ,water, orange juice, tomato juice and apple juice cranberry juice not to mention milk and chocolate milk they have soda vending machines on certain decks 2.00 a can and if you have a mini bar there are sodas in there also just explain to kids the way the mini bar works or you can have steward keep it locked if you have small kids that do not understand the concept, when you go on shore you can pick up sodas also and bring back on board they do not care about sodas when you come back they are looking for the liquor you may have purchased on your shopping sprees Fran happy sailing

oh forgot yes virgin drinks are available but they will be a charge on you sail and sign they run about 2.00 to 3 00 depening on the type of drink soda, smoothie etc. make sure you take the younger kids to the orientation for the kids club they will not be bored believe me with all thats offered they will have the time of thier life after they meet other kids thier age you will hardly know they are around!!!
