Teens - Vibe - Things to do - Sports Deck ??

[mdurette]

We will be cruising with teens 14-16. I heard the sports deck (wonder) is closed and has been converted to a sundeck to keep folks distanced. Anyone been on the Wonder recently that can confirm this?

Tell me about the Vibe. Is it just a place to hang out? Do they offer activities for teens? I have been looking at Navigators and I can't find anything more than the hours Vibe is open. Seem to be open house anyone can go during the day and teen only at night??

I'm concerned our Disney loving teen group will have too much down time and be bored.

Anyone that cruised with teens in the past have any insight?

We cruised the Magic in January. My teen (15) spent a large part of every day (literally, until midnight) in the Vibe. Included a lot of activities, time on the sports deck, trips to the pool deck for ice cream, games, movies, etc. Made some friends and had a great time. We used the sports deck as a family (ping-pong and foosball), and it was open. One note is that Vibe, being teen-oriented, isn't targeted towards mornings (pretty sure they don't expect the teens to be up and "doing things" at 8AM), but rather afternoons and night. Also, they did have the hours on Castaway with the Vibe crew at the teen hangout as well. In general a great experience for him (and for us as a family!), highly recommend.

My teen loves Vibe and is excited to go back to DCL, even after trying Allure of the Seas on Royal this past December. The biggest piece of advice is to have them go to the get to know you mixer the first night. That's usually when my daughter makes friends. Then they will do things all over the ship during the cruise, sometimes in Vibe but also hanging out on deck, playing games, etc. I can also confirm that the sports deck was open on the Dream this past October.
