What Is There for Kids to Do on a Cruise?

There are SO many activities onboard a cruise ship for people of all ages, but what exactly is there for kids to do? Well, first of all, the cruise lines are sensitive to the needs and abilities, and especially the interests of children. They actually separate them into age groups and have activities that are geared toward that specific group.
