Teens and young adults

[maryjaden]

Please forgive me if I am posting incorrectly, but I checked Family Cruises first and couldn't find relevant information. We are cruising on the Harmony in August with 15, 17, 19, 20 and 21 year olds (cousins). Any suggestions on clubs they can go to together. It's a tough age range on a cruise ship.

The 15 & 17 year olds will be welcome in the teen club on board. The 19 & 20 year olds can go to any other club or venue on the ship, including the casino, and do everything but drink alcohol. The 21 year old can do it all. :D

 

There will be "meet-ups" for the 18-20 year old crowd listed in the Cruise Compass.

I don't think those are tough ages. Lots of kids outgrow the teen clubs and adventure ocean activities by 12 or 13, so at 15+ they won't miss it. They can do everything else that people do on the ship; go to shows, classes, the pool, the boardwalk, Central Park, zip line, water slides, trivia, live music, bingo etc.

 

My daughter has never done the kids club and hangs out with me all day and has tons of fun. I'm an adult and not a big drinker, and don't usually drink at all when it's just the 2 of us, and I don't go to the casino because of the smoke, and I have plenty of fun. Everything I do as an adult on the ship they could do also; no age restrictions. They'll be fine.

Maybe they'll even want to hang out with you if you let them :)

Was just on the Harmony and have no kids so I don't have anything I can add other than there were kids EVERYWHERE on the ship. Usually in groups of 4 or 5. They did not bother us at all. Were doing their things and we were doing our things. We did wander around a lot and saw the kids areas. I don't believe I ever saw any kids in the Teen rooms, maybe we just passed at off times, but the smaller kids area seemed like it was busy. The ship is so big and there are so many things to do it really spreads things out. I would have loved to have been a kid on a ship of today.

alas, the 15 YO cannot go into the Solarium( adult only pool)

 

the 19-21 YO cannot do the teen club, but can do everything else

 

the 15-17 cannot do any lounge that goes 18+ late night( like 10 pm.)

 

however they can all do the sports deck, the main pool and during the day all bars and lounges. with very few exceptions all on board activities are open to all

We just came back from Harmony with our 14 & 15 yo. They both met some friends on the first night and hung out in their respective groups all week. We only saw them for excursions and dinner.

Although these are the "rules" I can tell you from just getting off Allure that they weren't enforced.

 

I have a 14 and 16 year old and nobody stopped the 14 yo in the Solarium. Not that she wanted to hang out there but she did use the hot tub occasionally. I saw plenty of teens at adults only karaoke and I even watched a young kid, 12 or 13 sing karaoke with random drunk adults as back up dancers. It was pretty hilarious.

 

Also, most of the kids used the club to make friends on the first night and then did their own thing after that. If the older teens want to hang with the younger teens they will likely go to Sorrento's or the flowrider, etc.

Thank you all so much for your replies. They have been very helpful. I have assured the kids there will be plenty to do. Most of them have been on Oasis. but it has been a few years.
