On some ships, schedules can run longer. Disney's program lasts until midnight or 1 a.m. Some lines' rosters offer particularly neat features. An Ice Cream With the Stars Party on Holland America's ships lets kids ages 5 to 12 mingle with on-board entertainers and ask questions about their work. Sometimes youngsters even get a backstage tour.
Many lines have cool clubs or discos for teens.
On Disney, teens can hang out at a New York-style coffee bar. On Princess' Grand Princess, deck space for teens even boasts a Jacuzzi. Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas boasts a TV studio staffed by audiovisual pros, where kids can document their cruise on tape. Princess ships feature Nickelodeon children's programming as part of the in-cabin television lineup. Most ships offer baby-sitting for parents who may want to enjoy shoreside excursions sans kids or late nights out on board or on shore.
