lisareneeo Posted July 22, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Leaving on Sat on Explorer of the Seas. Have a 14 year old daughter and will be traveling with a bunch of kids who are 15-17. Will they allow her to move up in the teen clubs if we give our permission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlesteelo Posted July 22, 2012 #4 Share Posted July 22, 2012 You should be fine. They are usually quite lenient about the ages, especially if she wants to hang out with her friends. That has been my experience anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newtoncruise Posted July 22, 2012 #5 Share Posted July 22, 2012 On our last cruise our then 11 yr old was allowed to join the 12-14 yr olds(her sister was then 13) after an assessment by the club leader... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlesteelo Posted July 22, 2012 #6 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Also, aren't the teen areas shared between both sides of the teen club? They were on Independence, and they only had separate activities. But I really don't see the issue if she is just below the age limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisareneeo Posted July 22, 2012 Author #7 Share Posted July 22, 2012 We will keep our fingers crosssed. She is very mature and hangs out with these kids all of the time. I feel like she would be fine, hopefully they will think the same thing and let her. Does anyone know what the major differences in activities are between the 12-14 group and the 15-17 group?

morgan1312 Posted July 22, 2012 #8 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Our grandson is 14, on our last few cruises, all on the Enchantment the teen groups were together for most of the time, since they can come and go as they please there usually aren't enough in either age group to do things separately. I realize the Enchantment is smaller than the Explorer so it may be different. I think they are much stricter with the younger age groups since there are so many in each group, we did sail with a family whose girls would have been split up and they let them pick which age group they both wanted to be in. But they let us know this was an exception because there was room in both groups, on another cruise it might not have been possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksawyercruiser Posted July 22, 2012 #9 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Our daughter was six weeks away from turning 9, and the Allure allowed her to try out both the 6-8 group and 9-11 with no problem. They did say that they would assess her during her first visit to the 9-11 group. Turned out that wasn't necessary because she ended up preferring the 6-8 group anyway. The big kids intimidated her ... she's a munchkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
