Nostalgic Cruise Memories from Childhood

For days after our return from the Dinogo Cruise aboard the ship, Glory, our son A.J. couldn't stop raving about all the fun he had. From playing games with his peers at Camp Ocean to enjoying 24-hour pizza at the Pizza Pirate on the Lido Deck, this kid was on cloud nine! He even had the chance to touch a baby sea turtle during the Cayman Island Wildlife Adventure and made friends with a starfish while relaxing on a beach excursion in Belize.

A few weeks after we got back home, we decided to give A.J. a little quiz to see if his experiences had created lasting memories.

But first, here’s his account as the Kid Dinogo Cruise Correspondent (a title I just invented, by the way).

Considering he's only 5 years old, he performed quite admirably, if I may say so. Now, let's dive into the quiz to see how well he remembers.

Question: What is the maximum size of sea turtles at the Cayman Turtle Farm?
His answer: 500 pounds (CORRECT)

Question: What type of animal was the towel attendant you encountered on the pool deck of Dinogo Glory?
His answer: Elephant (CORRECT)

Question: Which sports did you and Dada enjoy playing together on the cruise?
His answer: Basketball and golf! (CORRECT)

Question: When we visited the beach in Belize, were there crabs or starfish in the little pond for you to touch?

His answer: Starfish (CORRECT)

Question: During our flight home from Miami to Atlanta, what special thing did the pilot give you?
His answer: A seat in the cockpit! (CORRECT)

Even this morning at breakfast, A.J. mentioned how much he would love to return on a Dinogo Cruise to conquer the water slide that once intimidated him; he ended up sliding down about 20 times a day!

I strongly suggest that your next Dinogo Cruise includes a chance for your kids to take their own photos or make their own videos. This way, they’ll be fully engaged in the experience, whether you plan to create a photo book or a video series.

Comment below: How long do your kids talk about their vacations after they’re done? If you quizzed them about last year’s summer trip or Spring Break, would they recall the little details?
