What to do with teen children ? Wife and I love Jacks shack

[thrltr]

My DW and I had a great beach day at Jacks Shack last year. This year we cruise with the kids but I don’t think they will enjoy watching us drink and lounge in the sun. We have two boys 17 and 11 and a 16 year old daughter so I was a bit apprehensive about the margaritaville scene. When we were at Jacks we saw an excursion which left from the beach right by jacks and they left on small boats that looked like jet skis. Does anyone know the name of that excursion or any ideas for the children would be appreciated.

My teens loved Margaritaville! They loved watching the people try the Flow-Rider- literally spent 2 hours there! As far as the drinking games, dance contests, etc. - we really didn't find them "over the top." The pool was incredibly warm, and they ended up hanging with people they met on the ship. They had a great time, and can't wait to go back in 3 weeks! Maybe your kids would even want to try the Flow-Rider!

I agree with visiting Margaritaville. The pool is hugh, and you can stay on the side away from the bars.

 

I went snorkeling with Bohio divers, so that is another option.
