Stena Line Pirate and Princess Cruise.
Last month I had the pleasure of escorting my children on a Stena Line Pirate and Princess Party. I had never heard of them, so had no idea of what to expect. It was my nephews birthday and this was his choice for the party.
The itinerary was to check in at the terminal at 10.45hrs, depart from Belfast at 11.30hrs, arrive in Scotland at 13.45 hrs, stay on the boat during turnaround, depart at 15.30 hrs and arrive back in Belfast at 17.45 hrs.
My initial thoughts were ‘so, we get on a boat, go to Scotland, don’t get off?? and then come back to Belfast?’ I was not sure at all…
Wow, is all I can say – I cried, honestly, tears were in my eyes when our little Pirates and Princesses were greeted by Pirates and Princesses – I felt like I was at Disney!
The Stena Line crew were fabulously dressed up in super pirate outfits and plastic swords too. One of the entertainers even had a parrot!
On the subject of animals, we had recently added a beautiful little puppy to the family, who we brought along too – thanks to Stena’s ‘pet friendly’ policy.
The children were captivated the entire journey. There was dancing, singing and face painting. Eye patches for the Pirates and beautiful make-up for the Princesses.
A great little treasure quest, which had the children, mum’s and dad’s searching high and low looking for clues, brilliant fun. Next we had picnic time. This was great as people had the choice of eating in the ships restaurant or to bring their own picnic.
The magic show that followed was just superb. Stena had hired a professional entertainer who had the adults laughing too, the kids really enjoyed it.
Before we left, the children were presented with prizes for the best dressed, and everyone was given party bags – really good party bags. All this for £5 per child! Pretty amazing as any of our local party places are at least double that cost.
Just to point out, all the photos are mine, taken at the time of the trip so you can see it as it is.
I could not possible recommend this more, a truly fantastic experience for both children and adults and I will defiantly be returning in the near future.
Bookings can be made online, www.stenaline.co.uk and search kids fun.

Alcudia Pins Aparthotel 2013
Do you have a young family and are afraid of ‘taking the plunge’ and booking a holiday in the sun? You are not alone. I had reservations booking somewhere I had not seen (only on-line) and taking 3 small children out of the country. However, the need for sunshine got the better of me and in August this year we travelled to Aparthotel Alcudia Pins in Majorca.
