LounVal Posted October 19, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I see the age range in the teen club is 14-17. One of our boys is 18. Will he have a problem hanging out with his brother in Club O2?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springs741 Posted October 19, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I know with kids that fall on the cusp of an age group they sometimes make exceptions. However you must except your 18 year old is beyond the age limit of their oldest group. I would not be surprised it he was not allowed for liability purposes. I do not mean to in any way imply that your son is anything but an upstanding young man but where do they draw the line? Do they allow the 19 year old that is a senior in High School? Another thought, while the club was the initial meeting place my teen really didn't spend that much time there. She would plan to meet with kids at the basketball court or mini golf. You 18 year old could join them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staceyface1 Posted October 20, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I think you answered your own question.... he is beyond the age limit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poobears Posted October 20, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 20, 2016 They are typically very strict with the ages rules and no do not expect an exception. I have seen them block people outside of the ages by a week. My girls are 15 & 17 on this cruise and will be 16 and 17 on our April cruise. I am going to try to squeeze at least one or two more in before oldest DD turns 18 in July I know that will be the last time they get to spend time in O2, if they even want to by then.

JordanLovesCruisin Posted October 20, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 20, 2016 They absolutely will not let him in. Cruising was the WORST between 18-20 for me. They really lack activities for that group. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athankfulheart Posted October 20, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I have actually cruise with my children and others who were ALLOWED to stay at O2 while they were still in highschool. It required checking in (initially) with a parent and giving up any of the 18 and up privileges (never really found out what that means so I guess it didn't affect my kids) . My advice is that if your 18yo is still in highschool to bring thier school ID and ask the staff member. Not one time did we feel like we were asking for too much, rather on the contrary it seemed that this was routine in this situation. Again, this is based on my personal experience of more than one occasion and not on any written policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You 18 year old could join them there. I'm hoping for this with my oldest son. When we cruise he'll be less than a week away from 12, and he'd have more fun if he could be with his 13 year old sister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kctwinmommy Posted October 20, 2016 #9 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I'm hoping for this with my oldest son. When we cruise he'll be less than a week away from 12, and he'd have more fun if he could be with his 13 year old sister. We found that with Circle C, it depends on the amount of kids on the ship. Last year, on the Valor, there weren't that many kids. So they did allow a sibling who was I think 11, join his sister. But this summer, on the Legend, they didn't allow anyone outside of the 12-14 age range to be included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping there aren't many kids on our Jan cruise. I know that my boys would have much more fun together, especially my oldest son who isn't very outgoing and has a hard time talking to those he doesn't know. My oldest son is 13 and my youngest will be turning 11 while on the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaMommyof3 Posted October 20, 2016 #12 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Interesting to hear they will make exceptions. My son is turning 18 next summer so I was going to take a break from cruising for a while as the FAQ's say absolutely NO for kids 18 and over - even if they are still in HS, which he will be until his 19th birthday.

Havingfun2010 Posted October 20, 2016 #13 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I see the age range in the teen club is 14-17. One of our boys is 18. Will he have a problem hanging out with his brother in Club O2?? Adults are not permitted, to play with the little kids. That same question can be turned around, and you can ask, can my 16 year old hang out with his big brother in the casino, or in the bar? It's basically the same question. The answer is no both ways.
