This was my 3rd cruise, but the first with a toddler. THANK YOU!! THANK YOU !!!! THANK YOU!!! for the toddler room. The toys were great, the interaction with other parents was great, the interaction between the kids was great ( well most of the time:0) I can not even dream of how we would have got along without it. This was a genius idea and so very well done!!!! I hope we will all support this company who supports our families.
Thanks again for adding to an already great experience!!!!

I have to agree, the toddler room was a life saver on many occasions! Bailey made a ton of friends as did her moms. Thank you so much for creating such a great place and I will definitely be supporting the company by purchasing some of the great toys!!!

I am with you on this, I wanted to post this sooner but the boat is still rocking or is that my house, Im finally recovering for the most splendid time of my life!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Anne Yates and E-Learning Toys for providing this room. I could not have survived without it and could not imagine a cruise without this room. Unfortunately my guy did not like Kids crew as we were paged 1 minute after sitting down for the Broadway Belters show but low and behold we had another option for play, the Toddler room!
We spent many hours in that room, my favourite time was when I was the only women in the room and a group of daddys were sitting in a circle like a bunch of hens chatting away..it was so much fun to watch and listen too.
The toddler room is a great place for adults to network and for the little ones to be safe and have a ton of fun. I hope R Family you realize the importance of this room and that this room will always be around. It really makes travelling with a toddler a success.
Thank you again E-Learning Toys, I know it is a lot of work for you to transport all of the stuff and I hope business wise it will pay off for you.

Oh what a wonderful room that was. Our little guy knew right where it was and would take us there!!:) I think the saddest moment before we left the boat was when we were taking our last walk around the ship and he ran right to the play room saying “play, play” and when we got there it was turned back into the card room and all the toys were gone. He just walked around so confused talking and asking “where toys” and “play, play”. It was my partner’s favorite room too!!:)
Thank you again and again for the trip of a lifetime.

Absolutely agree with the other posters. The toddler room was a great place for the kids, and an excellent time to meet and catch up with other moms and dads who had kids the same age. (And I think I was probably in the group of chatting dads that was mentioned before :) )
I never got a chance to meet Anne Yates, but wanted to to thank her for setting that up - it worked out really well and hopefully they can give you an even larger space next time! No one expressed it better than my son though, who threw himself up against the door and demanded entrance every time we passed by....

The toddler room was tons of fun. Each year the room gets better and better. Thanks Ann for caring so much for our kids and us. We know it is a ton of work and really do appreciate it.
To keep the toddler room open for the future, make sure to keep eLearningToys.com (http://eLearningToys.com) in business. Purchase toys from there, let your doctor know about the cool “waiting room” products, and recommend specific toys to your preschool.
Thanks Ann!

Very very very sweet!
I just got up a few hours ago...our home is a complete time warp! We took the red eye on the way home...oh my.......on top of west coast, east coast differences....
Wait until 8pm when I tell the kids it is time for bed! That should be INTERESTING!!

We also would like to thank the RFamily for letting Anne have the playroom we would not have survived the cruise without it. Mackenzie loved having all those toys to play with and being with other kids to play with. I think I calculated spending half the day there everyday on the cruise. We hope RFamily has really seen how much of a need this playroom is really needed for these kids on this cruise. It saved all of us parents who needed a place to keep these kids happy. And Anne THANK YOU for all the great toys you had for the kids.
Thanks Again Mackenzie's 2momies,
Janice and Cindy

Rfamily realizes the importance and I am very grateful for it. Several parents told me that Colleen told them about the toddler room before coming and it really helped with their decision to go on the ship.
NCL is planning on building playrooms on every ship, and after being approached while I was on board by the hotel director and youth planner, it looks as though I will be a part of that initiative. I am a tiny company (just me)..and NCL is ummm......HUGE......so, keep your fingers crossed!

Congratulations, Anne! How do the "regular" cruisers with toddlers survive? I hope that NCL pays you well for consulting with them.
