You didn't say whether you're sailing on the Magic or the Wonder.
During the dry dock, the old Common Grounds (the old teen hangout) was changed to an adults only area. The old ESPN Skybox (an adult area) was converted to the new teen area called The Stack.
On the Wonder, the teen area is still COmmon Grounds.
So....you don't have any choice. There is only one teen area on each ship. That said, my DD celebrated her 13th birthday on the Magic, and loved The Stack and the programming there. A lot has to do with the teen group on your particular cruise. I've read reports from kids who hated it. We had a good group of primarily younger teens (13-15)...a relatively small group as it was during the school year...and it was great.
