Teens on the Fantasy

[jsquinn207]

Hi,
I'm thinking of booking the Fantasy during President's week with my 15 year old teens. Do teens hangout in the teen club? Is there enough to do on the ship to keep teenagers entertained? We have been on 2 Disney cruises when they were much younger and they loved the kids' club. Thank you!

My teen (16), has enjoyed the Vibe over several cruises in the last year. Highly recommend they go, especially the first night when they are all getting to know one another, as a way to connect with the other teens aboard. From there, many of the teens both use Vibe as a central place, as well as do other things around the ship in groups. Also, Fantasy and Dream Vibe area has its own private sun deck/small pool to enjoy away from the masses of little kids.

We only saw our grand kids for meals or when we went ashore. The rest of the time they were in the clubs. Our one granddaughter (15) was bunking with us and returned to the cabin when the clubs closed around 12:00 or 1:00 am.

Our teens too loved vibe on the fantasy and hanging out with the friends they made there that we really only saw them when it was closed for open house or dinner. The week long cruise really gives them a nice amount to make friends and they do a week long scavenger hunt for the teens where they have to take pictures around the ship with officers and different places.

My daughter has aged out, but she is social and loved both teen clubs. She still stays in contact with some friends she met. It seems that most use iMessage, so it can help if they have an iPhone to coordinate meetups during the cruise. It's not a must, but it was much easier for her than when we cruised before she had one. She had the realization that she is too old for our upcoming cruise and wasn't happy. The 1820 club just isn't the same.

I have a funny situation coming up for the cruise I just booked for January my son and his girlfriend are joining us and he will be 18 three days after our sailing and she is already 18. I booked for her to join us in palo and he’s been wanting to go there so bad since he’s a foodie and always wants us to sneak food back for him. So he’s jealous about that but he can still go to vibe. I’m sure they will have fun no matter what and she can go to vibe with him during open house hours.

My teen girls, 16 and 14, aren't joiners. They are artsy and fairly aloof. Anyone with teens of this type who can speak to their kids experience with Vibe? We're on the Fantasy for 7 nights in just over two weeks.
