What are some fun thing for 18 and 19 year old to do on the ship(wonder)? While they are "adults" they still want to have fun and be kids. Are there clubs for them like the younger kids have, would they maybe be able to go to the teen club vibe, or just anything they can do that isn't so "adulty"?

There is the 1820 Society. They meet the first night with a CM that facilitates the group. It's real important to show up to the first night's meeting. If no one shows up (or very few people) then nothing gets planned.

The CM facilitating the group will set up activities based on what the group is interested in doing. On our Mexican cruise, they were able to go into Vibe and bring out various board games, along with setting up lunch with an officer, vegetable "pinewood" derby races. And many time the group just "hung out".

The 1820 Society doesn't have a dedicated space, but just meets where it needs to. An 18+ adult cannot go into Vibe, except at Open House times.

There is the 1820 Society, which is a designated group just for 18 to 20 year-old's. The Daily Navigator has activities for them each day and night. They are not allowed in the Vibe if they are over 17. Check out past Navigators for examples of activities offered. http://disneycruiselineblog.com/

There are a number of family activities offered like various types of crafts. DD16 went to Animation Mickey Mouse with DH, which is a drawing class. I know there were 3D crafts offered and other types of crafts. Being 18+, they can go to the cooking demonstrations, there are Animation classes just for 18+. There are movies, character meet and greets, etc. Depending on the length of the cruise, there might be magic workshops for families, etc. Look at the 'fun for all ages' activities, and that will get you some 'not so adulty' activities.

I'll add another endorsement for the 18-20 society. My DD has done this twice and really enjoyed it. They had a night where they learned to make coffee drinks at the coffee bar, met for a bike ride on CC, had a game night in one of the bars, met for icecream, etc.

1820 society is really fun! I went to it in January with my SO - he was still 20, I was 21. Even though we're both 21 now we'll probably be going to the 1820 stuff on our upcoming cruise.

My DD was 19 on our last cruise, she was very excited about the 18-20 society, problem was she was the only one to ever show up. Not sure of it was a fluke but she stopped trying after the third night

On our cruise back in November my little sister went and there were only 2 other people that showed up. We were on the Dream so it's a big ship with a lot of people so we were surprised more people didn't show up. Are there just not that many cruisers in that age range?

Either that or not that many who want to do group stuff.

they will have access to all "adult" venues - just no alcohol consumption allowed.

No kids club access except for open house times.

They really have to make their own fun (1820 group can help with this if there is an active group) - hopefully they enjoy participating in the normal family and adult activities DCL has planned.
