Surfguyxxx Posted July 21, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 21, 2022 16 for sure as it was pointed out by a lounger (not me) who called out this one person for having her 12 and 14 you kids there. Bye bye kiddos! 👋 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare moposh Posted July 21, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I thought it was 18. I was irked a bit one time there were some young kids in Solarium and in hot tubs. If it's 16, that's good as my daughter is 16 and I thought she wouldn't be allowed in there. Either way, we'll check when we go. Last cruise, the solarium pool was very small and adults were just standing in the pool socializing (which they're allowed to do :)), so I went to the outside pool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geneticsguy Posted July 22, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 22, 2022 My app tells me it is age 16+, just to concur with what others are telling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sole purpose of the Solarium is a retreat away from the kids. Some ships enforce it and, unfortunately, others do not. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some may post "family time" later in the day after prime time, especially on ships with enclosed solariums if there is poor weather by the main pool. Usually after 4pm. Rare though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind it all if it is just a couple of hours and the age restriction (16 plus) is otherwise enforced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising started Posted November 25, 2022 #19 Share Posted November 25, 2022 16 is not an adult. The minimum age in the solarium should be 18, preferably 21. Those under 18 have their own pool area which adults are not allowed in. Families want to hang together, there is a main pool area for them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mum2Mercury Posted November 25, 2022 #20 Share Posted November 25, 2022 The ship rule is 16+. I'm sure because at one point we had two older girls who "qualified" and two younger girls who were upset. We did tell the older girls that -- if they chose to go to the Solarium -- they were to be quiet, polite and respectful to everyone. If they wanted to be loud, they could go to the family pool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poocher Posted November 25, 2022 #21 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Loved the solarium on Explorer, great social atmosphere without the craziness of the main pool. You could easily talk to other cruisers & the bar was terrific. Those too young (and one woman vaping??) were politely asked to leave. We hung out there every day.

There's the kiddie areas, but that's for the really young, not teenagers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
