Royal Caribbean will end its partnership with toy manufacturer Fisher Price as of January 1, 2014.
The ending of this deal doesn't mean the end of Fisher Price onboard. Rather, Royal Caribbean will augment the Fisher Price toys with toys from other brands as well.
A statement from Royal Caribbean summarizes the change, "As of January 1, 2014, Fisher Price will no longer be the official partner of the Nursery or our Babies and Tots program. Our guest may still find Fisher Price product onboard but it will be complimented by various other brands."
Royal Caribbean will discontinue the following programs as a result of the end of the deal.
- Fisher Price Playgroups

- Little People Birthday Party
- Hot Wheels Race Track on CocoCay
