ginaf Posted April 24, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2014 This will be our 15 ncl cruise with our 12 year son this summer on the getaway. As if August he will be 2 months shy of bring 13 and is really hoping to get into entourage. He loves the idea of a place to hangout instead of roaming around since he doesn't enjoy the younger kids group anymore.( just off the breakaway and didn't even sign up ). I'm hoping they will allow him in since he's so close to turning 13. Has anyone actually been allowed to do this?

Rare mizLORInj Posted April 24, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 24, 2014 They are quite strict with the age groups, so I don't think they will let him be with the older group since he won't be 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMH15 Posted April 24, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I am afraid the other poster is correct. NCL is strict to the day on these groupings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdmike Posted April 24, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 24, 2014 It's been consistently reported that NCL has no flexibility in this area. If they're 12 when they board the ship, they will not be able to use the teen club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted April 25, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Again, they are strict, for many,many reasons. Common sense. Legal. PR etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangegrove Posted April 25, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 25, 2014 We were just on the Epic with my DS15, niece14, and niece12. The 12yo was not allowed at all in the club. She hung with us until the teens left the club and then hung with her sister, my son, and their new friends. It worked out fine for her. She did not want to go to the younger club by herself. My son never had a problem doing that, but he's been cruising since he was 3. This was my nieces first cruise. (which they loved and are trying to convince their parents to go on another one!)

lisakoivu Posted April 25, 2014 #7 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Kids younger than 13 are not allowed. Period. No exceptions. World without end. Amen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app My guess is: nope. they do not bend the rules on age groups and I am sure you can understand why. If they make an exception here and there where do they draw the line? This is like saying, I am only 2 months shy of 21 and I am hanging out with my friends who are a little older, so can't you serve me a drink?

BDAY50GIRL Posted June 24, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 24, 2014 How do they know unless you tell them the age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising Golfer Posted June 24, 2014 #10 Share Posted June 24, 2014 How do they know unless you tell them the age? Think about it!!!:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangegrove Posted June 24, 2014 #11 Share Posted June 24, 2014 How do they know unless you tell them the age? All ship cards have ages imbedded in them. You show your passport or BC when you arrive at the port. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmurph22 Posted June 24, 2014 #12 Share Posted June 24, 2014 my son turned 13 while on the cruise; he was not admitted to Entourage until his birthday. They are very strict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShannonSC2 Posted June 24, 2014 #13 Share Posted June 24, 2014 We ran into this problem on the Pearl last spring break. Our youngest daughter was a week from turning 13 and they wouldn't allow her in the teen club. Of course that week we were on the ship they largest group of kids were 8-10 year olds so everything was catered to them. My 12 year wouldn't go because everything was too childish. Of course our 14 year old was allowed in the teen club and had the best time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
