Kim,,,,,, Your son is 13 and I think he will be going to Aloft in the forward smokestack. (that smokestack is not really a smokestack,,,, it is a teen club that is to die for) no parents or kids allowed. However, your daughter being nine will be going for the oceaneer lab. Now,,,, Kristen has always had a good time in the lab. One thing for sure, there will be tons of kids her age also there and also looking for friends. You will have to register her for the lab and you also can get a
disney cruise pager anytime you want them to reach you. You will have the option of letting her sign in and out herself. However,,, she must always sign one way or another. With this being our eighth Disney cruise, we now have total confidence with Kristen , Billy and the ship and therefore allow them freedom to roam the ship at will. It didn't happen instantly , though. During normal hours, there are tons of people everywhere and we allowed Kristen to go around the ship with a curfew, initially 11pm. You know,,,, they have a disney film that shows on deck nine and ten on the Dumbotron from , oh, around 11pm till end of movie. I think I remember Pirates of the Carribbean and also Wall-E showing late. Kristen wanted to stay up and watch them. WOW!!!!!!!! Going through the ocean 11pm at night,,, WARM,,,,, and watching a show on a great ship in paradise!!!!!
Don't forget, they have the free cokes and pizza still available, not to mention the room service 24 hours a day,,,, you just have to tip the waiter when it is room service,,, it is worth it.
I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
