The C/A benefits are minimal for Gold - but you can still flip through and see what's available once you get on board. I think there was a free $5 credit for the casino that we used, um, yeah, since those are 'big-boy' video games - lol
It would be nice for them to have some type of 'kid' version of the coupons. But easier for them to manage with a 'one-n-done' type. Just make sure they have their own C/A numbers so they will start getting credits for cruising. Maybe if they enjoy it, they'll continue when they are older and already have a small head start in their cruise status.
Good luck with the arcade. Took my son on the Allure a couple years ago and the arcade was pretty sad, especially if you or your kids are gamers. ? We got the $25 package loaded to his card, I also removed the ability to charge from everyone's card, but found he couldn't spend it all. But that's just because he wasn't happy with the choice of games (at least for his age, more Chuck-E-Cheese type games it seemed) My advice - take a couple quarters up there and see what's available, but then redirect them to all the other free onboard activities. The adventure ocean was really fun for my son (10 at the time). He asked multiple times if he could go and hang out - you have to check them in/out there until they go to the teen area.
I'm pretty sure they need the number issued before the sailing as it will make them Gold before they board. I'm in the same situation as you and this is what I've discovered as far as their benefits which may vary ship to ship
It needs to be set up prior to boarding on Wi-Fi so that you can set an address for dialing 911. Afterwards, turn on airplane mode to test it out and you'll be good to go for your sailing.
