question about EDGE

[jceric2002]

hi friends, if my child is 9 years old but his brother is 11 years old. Will DCL allow our 9 year old to join his brother in EDGE? pls enlighten me thank you

No a 9 year old can’t go to Edge

No. Sometimes 10-yr-olds can age-up to Edge but I haven't heard of 9-yr-olds doing so. Your kids can be together during "open house" times at either Club/Lab or Edge.

On a cruise last year, our son was a few months away from turning 10 and they allowed him into the Edge. We did have to sign some sort of waiver or something.

Whoah that never happens! A 9 year old is never ever allowed into Edge

DCL will not grant an exception in advance. IF an exception is given (big IF for a 9 yr old) it will be decided onboard by the Edge staff based on 1) the number of 11-14 yr olds onboard, 2) how many 10 yr olds are onboard and may want to age up, and 3) the maturity of your 9 yr old to be in a low-supervised come-and-go situation with older kids.

It is best to prepare your kids that they will be split up for club time except during open house times.

Activities your kids can do together instead of the clubs:

Movies
Sports deck/mini-golf
Character meet & greets
Mid-ship Detective Agency or Triton class version
Towel-folding class
Craft activities noted as “all ages”
Usually 1 bar onboard has board games available during the day
Pool (I strongly advise adult supervision)
Family excursions
