Circle “C”, with its high-tech spaces, fun-filled activities and energetic directors is a direct result of our ongoing commitment to providing exceptional vacations to guests of all ages. Circle “C” is the ultimate Young Teen Program for children, ages 12 to 14 years old who want to chill on a cruise. Cool activities, awesome facilities and lots of new friends. Now young teens have a place of their own to connect with these friends. Circle “C” is the place to be for parties, games and other activities created just for them.

 

The Circle “C” friendly and experienced Director wants to enhance your young teen's vacation experience. This is why they have tailored activities specifically designed to entertain this age group.

 

Circle “C” Lounges

All ships have dedicated lounges for the 12-14 year olds. The facilities feature a dance floor with high-tech sound and lighting system, along with 42-inch plasma-screen TV’s displaying movies. Also featured are gaming pods with video games and consoles. There are more plasma-screens positioned throughout the room for video gaming. The facilities offer a sleek modern design created especially to appeal to younger teens, with a vibrant motif and plush comfortable seating, perfect for hanging out with new friends.

My 14 year old was on the Valor last fall; he was 13 then. He LOVED Circle C. We hardly saw him. ( we did make sure that we all checked in with each other pretty frequently). He was so busy. No boredom at all.

My two boys, now 21 and 17, went on several cruises in that Circle C age range. I think those years were some of their favorite cruises. The kids have some independence, but the organized activities keep them in one area.

 

The activities, however, in some cases were less organized than listed. Even though there are always activities, at that age, they also enjoy "Just hanging around" with each other.

 

Unlike Camp Carnival, which activities end at 10pm, often times there were Circle C Activities until Midnight.

Our first cruise, our oldest was 14. She was dismissive of the Circle C, until she got in there. After she started, her sister became an only child for the next few days!

 

She made some good friends there, including one that goes to the rival high school here - go figure. They do a lot with them. They take over the nightclub for an hour or so, all sorts of games and movies. She ended up hanging out with 4 of them a lot outside of the Circle C as well. And this is a girl who doesn't make friends easy.

I had a 14 year old at my table in the MDR last year. He spent about 10 minutes with us each night because he was in such a rush to get to the club. He always preordered his dinner the night before so it would be quicker.

My 14 year old daughter enjoyed the club activities, but even more, enjoyed just hanging out with the kids she met, all around the ship. She and two other girls used to meet in the club room, then go for ice cream and just wander the ship together.
