We are sailing 8/1 with our 15 yr old daughter and 13 yr old son. I have read the suggestions that teens should go to that first night orientation to check out/meet other teens on board and find potential peeps to hang with for the week. Recent cruisers were kind enough to post the dailies from their Solstice Alaska cruise, and it looks like that teen program orientation takes place the first night between 8-9pm. If we have late dinner (8:30pm) this timing seems stupid to me...we are also traveling with my parents who are early for everything so they will expect us to be at MDR by 8:15.

So I guess my question is, do you think that time is just a guideline and if they go after dinner there would be many others doing the same? Or do you think that maybe the timing will change by time we sail in August (the dailies were from 5/30 sailing when hypothetically most kids were still in school)?

Thanks for any answers/experiences you may have to share.

My DW and I just returned from a Celebrity cruise to Alaska on the Solstice. One evening I happened to get on an elevator with two young men (about 14 years old each). I asked them if Celebrity had good programs on board for people their age and if they were enjoying the cruise. They were both very enthusiastic in their affirmative responses. I didn't ask about particular activities, but they were surely having a good time on the ship.

Hope you have a wonderful cruise. Jerry of Jerry and Lady Kathryn

Thanks for this comment! Nice to hear. We are doing Solstice to Alaska Aug 1 with 15 yr old daughter and 13 yr old son and we are all hoping they have a blast! :)

My family and I were on this cruise as well and I saved the Celebrity Today dailies on the trip. I've scanned them in and hosted PDFs for those interested!

Thanks so much! These are so helpful bc they're recent-have seen older ones before. We sail Aug 1.
