Thank you :) did you graduate from high school-- if not then you take your school ID YOU can go into the clubs-- your 17 year old friend will not. and yes you both will be carded. I can tell you that kids that age will tend to just hang out together and do stuff around the ship. You will not be able to do things in the club house.

Would the Kids Crew have the ability to let me as a high school student, use the teen dance club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted August 12, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I have always heard that there is no flexibility in the age groups. So no, you would not be allowed in the teen club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaThruU Posted August 12, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 12, 2015 The Teen Club is strict about their policy of 17 years old and under. My son was 18 and a senior in high school for our last 3 cruises this past 12 months and his sister is 17. They would not allow him in the Teen Club on Norwegian, Royal Caribbean nor Celebrity.

cb at sea Posted August 12, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 12, 2015 The 17 year old will need to do stuff with the 18 year old OUTSIDE of the "club"...you'll find most older teens don't use the club...they tend to find each other, and do their own things!

Nitemare Posted August 12, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Ill find a way thank you! Have your passport with you for when you get escorted off the ship for unauthorized entry in to the Kid's Club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted August 12, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Would the Kids Crew have the ability to let me as a high school student, use the teen dance club? If you are a high schooler with a student ID that says you are 18 you will be able to do that yes. the dance club starts later in the evening-- and you will be carded to show at least 18. your 17 year old person would not be able to go in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted August 12, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I have always heard that there is no flexibility in the age groups. So no, you would not be allowed in the teen club if the 18 year old can show proof still in high school they will make the flexibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted August 12, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Ill find a way thank you! Not really because I do not think you want to embarrass your family-- especially during spring break weeks-- the ships are on high alert to watch for unruly teens.

Shmoo here Posted August 12, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 12, 2015 if the 18 year old can show proof still in high school they will make the flexibility. Don't know for sure about OPs cruise line, but on Disney and Carnival, 18 means out of the teen club. Period. Regardless if they are still in high school, or not.

Grandma Dazzles Posted August 12, 2015 #13 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Ill find a way thank you! Not a good attitude! Ships are very strict about this ..... Also strict about curfew. I'm sure you can both find plenty to do without breaking rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legaljen1969 Posted August 12, 2015 #14 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Have your passport with you for when you get escorted off the ship for unauthorized entry in to the Kid's Club! Oh for heaven's sake! I would think it would be a far bigger problem for the 17year old to get in to the 18 and older places. I can understand why they want to keep "adults" out. Don't do anything to jeopardize your cruise, but I agree with some of the others. I think a lot of kids who don't know anyone will go to the teen club the first night to meet/find some friends and then they will find other things to do around the ship. People can get wound so tight on these boards. It is a wonder people don't have exploding brains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamessemaj Posted August 12, 2015 #15 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Ill find a way thank you! That sums it up. The teens onboard will gravitate if they wish and the clubs don't really matter much. In fact, it will spill over into the young 20s which can be dangerous, but that's not the question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseryyc Posted August 12, 2015 #16 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Taking along school ID won't do a thing; your cruise card will indicate how old you are and where on the ship your are allowed (or not allowed) to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on carnival- if the 18 year old is still in high school they can show a valid school ID for the kids club- No ID No kids club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare tetleytea Posted August 12, 2015 #19 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) We were in our 30's exploring the ship one time, and found our way to the teens club. The crew member spoke to us on microphone and made an example of us. "No adults allowed". I didn't think that was necessary. We didn't know.

spookwife Posted August 12, 2015 #21 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Ill find a way thank you! No you won't . repeated attempts to bypass the stated age limits WILL result in you being confined to the cabin at best and kicked off the ship at worst. WITH your entire party. you will have to enjoy the ship in the public areas open to all ages YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED into the teen clubs at all and your friend IS NOT ALLOWED into any venue that goes 18 and up (typically a lounge or two after 10 pm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the counselors will make an exception for an 18 year old with a HS ID. But, it's up to them, it's not a given. We've had friends whose 18 year senior was not allowed, even with ID.

italianblend Posted August 13, 2015 #24 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Is it even legal to cruise by yourself when you're under 21? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmoo here Posted August 13, 2015 #25 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Is it even legal to cruise by yourself when you're under 21? OP is not cruising by him/herself. The original post says "Me, my family , and my friend are cruising". But, to answer the question, yes, I believe there are cruiselines that will allow an under 21 to book a room.
