He told me was the the 7-12 group is where they have the highest participation and the most enthusiasm. They are mature and independent and capable than the younger group. But they aren't "too cool" teens yet. They still get excited about pretend play and games and want to do fun things. That seems to correlate with your experience.eileen gunnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-77664681442477962812015-10-26T09:36:19.479-05:002015-10-26T09:36:19.479-05:00It's not a surprise that Disney Cruises would ...It's not a surprise that Disney Cruises would have a great kids program, but it really looks spectacular. I like that they have a "tween" group even if it is used the least. I think your thoughts for why it is not used as much sounds like sound reasoning. We took our 12 year old granddaughter with us on our cruise to Alaska with Holland America and she had zero interest in checking out the kid program. I was kind of surprised that she just wanted to hang out with us, but we were happy to include her in our activities. HAL didn't have a tween program, which is unfortunate because most 12 year-olds don't think they have a lot in common with a bunch of younger kids down to 8 years old.

I like that the kids can move between the 2 clubs which as you mentioned means they can stay near siblings and also gives freedom of choice for those kids on the cusp of both age groups.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09849106609035136485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-31328468600604313632015-10-24T17:54:24.329-05:002015-10-24T17:54:24.329-05:00Disney always does it best!

I am pleased to see the overlap in age groups. We have had issues with lack of flexibility in other non-Disney ships as our girls like to be together. I think if I had known this when they were just a bit younger, we would have chosen Disney.
