Example teen crew activity calander

[Dawns_Princess]

So, many people have looked on here for the lists of activities that their teen will do in the teen club aboard the Norwegian ships. My scanner doesn't work so I'm going to type up the sheet that we got on the Norwegian Spirit, 7/26/08-8/02/08. All of the activities locations are listed aswell, but I'm not going to type them in. These activities are not guaranteed to be the same for each ship, but they are all similar. Any of my own thoughts or added explinations will be in (). (Coming from a now 16 yr. olds POV)

 

(For all activities, if there is not enough teens at each then they will be cancled. The teen club is open for teens to hang out in whenever they like. And whenever the ship is in port there will not be many schedualed [the teens can still hang out in the room] activities so that your teen will not be missing anything big)

 

1st day (Leaving NY)

12-3pm ~ Early Registration

4-6pm ~ Late Registration (even if your teen is skeptical to joining the teen crew, if they plan on going to any of the activities sign them up at one of these 2 registrations, its a pain getting them signed up in the middle of your cruise)

6pm ~ Teen Club Opens - Orientation & Registration

8pm ~ Get To Know You - Ice Breakers (cheesy & clichéd, but it does help to make more friends)

9pm ~ Ship Scavenger Hunt - Go find other teens to help you

10:30pm ~ Kick Off Teen Disco

2nd day (Sea Day)

11am ~ Gorilla Hunt (Hide and Seek where the hider is wearing a gorilla mask, I love the older passengers reactions)

1:30pm ~ Battle Of The Sexes, Boys Vs. Girls (The 2 teams come up with questions for the other side, the prizes for the winning team is a free smoothie ticket each)

8pm ~ Amazing Race (Don't remember what this was)

9:15 ~ Showtime On Broadway (The teens meet in the center to go to the ships show for that night)

10:30pm ~ Masquerade Disco - Disguise yourself for a prize! (I don't recall anybody having a mask)

6th Day (Samana, Dominican Republic from 8am-3pm)

DawnPrincess - YOU ARE THE BEST!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!:D

[candydane]

Friends have a cabin under the teen center / video arcade on the Star. They're worried about the potential noise from activities.

 

Any idea if there's a lot of noise during the teen center activities?

 

Are the dance theme parties held in the teen center or a "bar"? How late do they go if in the teen center?

 

Thanks so much.

Thanks for the info. I really am hoping I can get my 13yr old to attend some of the teen things on our cruise next week. My 11 and 7 yr old are more likely to get involved in the clubs than my oldest one. While it is a family holiday, I really want all of them to meet new people, even if it is just for the cruise. Life has a funny way of keeping people in touch.

[silkhair1]

My kids are 6 and 8 now and they love the kids crew on each ship we were on. I think as they get older they will more likely be bored with kids club.

[Dawns_Princess]

Candy - From experience I don't know about the Star but on the other ships I've been on, the parties have never gotten too loud. On the dawn there was the teen center and another room where the discos were, but on the spirit they were in the center, so I suppose where the teen discos are depends on the ship. Looking at the deckplan of the Star I think the discos will be in the center, but I could be wrong. And there was never a set time for when they have to leave, though most people started to leave around 12-12:30.

Silk - As the kids get to the age where they are the oldest ones in the club they will get bored, but then the next year when they're 13 and can go to the teen club instead they'll find it more entertaining

I can't tell you how nice it is to see a 16 year old from NY actually posting something that doesn't look like a text message. Proper spelling, sentence and paragraph structure, punctuation, and capitaliztion will take you far.

 

I had to look up capitalizition in the dictionary, this was one post I didn't want to go wrong on, obviously. Turns out that z or s are both considered correct!

Just looked at this again. I was so obsessed with the z or s question, I left out an "a" twice. Let's try capitalization, or capitalisation!

I hope everyone found this helpful, and sorry it was so long :)

 

Appreciate that you did this!

Thanks so much for posting this. The website doesn't post much for teens and this really helps; I'll be taking 3 of my grandchildren on the Jewel this summer (shhhh, it's a surprise) with the oldest being 15. I think he will really love some of these activities.

[owamo1]

Thanks so much for the activity post. I will have a few teens in there on our 50th Anniversary cruise which is 17 months away on the EPIC. They say they aren't interested, but now I have some ammunition to try to show them what could be and time to hopefully talk them into 'something'. Thanks for the heads up.

[kruzkid]

thanks for posting!
