Teens on Cruise

[mellyxx]

Are there usually alot? I'm going with my best friend hopefully this summer and I don't want to be alone ahaha

Well, the cruises each have a teen club. The Stack and Loft; I don't know which club is in which cruise, though.

If you're talking Disney, then yes.
I found there were a lot of older teens when I went.
Sometimes there's more younger ones.
There's also another little club for the 13-15 age group.

There is normally a pretty big group. The three cruises I've been on as a teen, there were a ton of us, and I became close with a group of like 10ish people.

Depends on the time of year. Ive cruise Mid October twice, the first time in 2006, there weren't all that many teens, the second time in 2007 there were about 125 teens total on the ship if i remember correctly, and about half of those never came to the stack, and the rest broke down into groups, mainly by age.

My most recent cruise, spring break march 15-22nd there were 225 teens on the ship, and 127 in the stack on the first night for the 411, and about 50-75 at the dances each night, so a pretty good turn out.

It seems that groups of older teens tend to run about 10 people or so, while the younger ones(13-14, sometimes 15) tend to stay in larger groups and then have sub groups within the groups. This is just my personal observation on the 3 cruises i have done.


Also be warned that this summer 13-14's will be in Ocean Quest and no longer allowed in the Stack based on what multiple CMs in the Stack told me a few weeks ago

Hmm, I was under the impression they'd still be allowed to go to the Stack.
It doesn't really concern me anymore, because I'm out of that age group.
But if I was, and had only the choice to go to Ocean Quest I'd be pissed. I don't get along really well with people my age. I spent most of my time on my last cruise with some girls who were 4 years older than me.

The first one I went on when I was 12, and I had to go to the Lab. I hated it. Everyone was ridiculously young and immature. I kind of avoided it a lot.

They will be up there some, I believe that OQ goes to the Stack some in the mornings before the teens are allowed in, but that might be the Lab i am thinking of that goes up there

I'm pretty sure it's the Lab that does that.
I reallly didn't like the lab xD

Aloft was amazing. Gez was one of the counsellors there when I went and he made me happy xD He taught me cards and entertained me when I was bored.

 

[The_Ryno]

Ive been lucky enough to have two counselors twice each. Skye from Australia in Oct 2006 and Oct 2007, and Darcy from USA Oct 2007 and March 2008, Both were great along with the other counselors I met.
They make an effort to remember everyones name that is up there pretty often.

 

[Babyjustrun]

Mm yes, I remember there was one (I can't remember his name, I'll have to go scouting on Facebook, I actually found some I knew there) that my brother had met the year before, and he was there the next year.
He was cool.

There were several ones that I recognized from the lab, one of them an activites director, who was from.. Scotland? Okay, so I don't remember really, but I remember seeing him the next year. He had an awesome impersonation of the 'Oh Boy!' quote form Mickey Mouse =)
