Things for 19 years old to do?

We will be cruising on NCL Escape soon and my son is now too old for the Kids club (where he would meet a lot of friends). What sort of things can he do on the Escape?

Thank you in advance!!

Drink beer or wine with your permission. Gamble in the casino. Flirt with women.

He’s 19 and on vacation!

:):)

I haven’t been on the Escape, but having been a cruiser at that age and looking at the deck plans:

lay by the pool

water slides

ropes course

sports court

hot tubs

mini golf

find a quiet space and read

Escape room

Spice H2O

Games in O’Sheehans

It really depends on what type of guy he is- does he like sports? Quiet time? There are a ton of options, just leave out the alcohol! No, there’s nothing like the teen club for him, but thinking back, there was no teen club when I cruised through my teen years. He’ll probably find a group of young adults and they’ll spend their time hanging out.

Thank you very much! He does love sports and is looking forward to the basketball court.

Anything you can do, he can do...and probably, better! Lol! It's amazing how fast young adults find each other!

Just off Escape with 19 y/o.

That is a bit tough age. There were solo gatherings in studio lounge and spice h2o is adults only during the day.

The brew house is adults only and at night had piano player playing great songs and engaging.

THIS. You might add 'work out' , 'dance the night away' and 'stay out of jail'.

On our Gem cruise last year my 19 and 20 year olds went to the young adult meet up every night and formed a nice friend group, plus I signed the waiver for them to drink beer and wine.

Exactly what I was thinking! And I'd let him spread his wings a bit. It's a safe environment and if he makes some bad choices, better on the ship than on land.

The kids loved the basketball court. Always a good crowd and nice spot on ship, way up high.

Adult is 18+, he would’ve been fine.

at 19 years old if he doesnt know how to self entertain, then i dont know what to tell ya.

why dont you have him log on and explore the deck plans, etc. and let him figure it out on his own?

At 19....he should be a high school graduate

entering college

owns a car

working a job

independent of Dad and Mom

Pretty much anything any adult can do except drink "hard" liquor. He need not worry about finding friend there are lots of people in his age group on almost every sailing. Watch the dailes for a meet and greet just for the 18 - 21 year olds.

When one of our daughters was 19 she was part of our adult group and stayed with us most of the time and did the things we did. She's more like me and not the type to go to some singles mixer and talk to total strangers. My wife would be totally comfortable doing that. She meets people in the bathroom at Disneyland and gets their life story in five minutes. Me, not so much.

If he had a good time with the teen group in the past then the young adult / singles get together could be good. Or he may decide to hang with you guys. It's the start of a new type of relationship with your kids at this age, and the transition can be tough for parent and child. But, since our job is to work ourselves out of the job of parenting, it's really nice to realize that your grown children can also be your friends.

I thought this story was about to take a very terrible turn for the worse. :')

I was mentioning that the OP's over 18 y/o would be fine in the brewhouse as something to do. Also, our over 18 y/o is a she.

He is an adult.

See my prior post.

Per NCL and other cruiselines, "Adult" varies widely by age depending on the venue/activity. Excursions for "adults" are much younger or vice versa "child" pricing ends much younger. Adults for booze packages out of US is 21 except for beer/wine.

Not much help with escape but my children. Now age 20 - 30 have never gone to a kids club but always found something to do. Will he be alone or with siblings? My kids were always together so that is easier.
