Welcome aboard, Alice! I’m sorry you’ve read some confusing information, but no worries—I’m here to help smooth the seas and clarify things for you!
I’m sure you agree that Disney Cruise Line truly shines with its
incredible youth clubs! For children aged 3 to 10,
Disney’s Oceaneer Club and
Oceaneer Lab are perfect places for fun and adventure. Plus, once your son turns 10, he has the exciting option to check out
Edge, the exclusive tween club for sailors 11 to 14 years old. You can visit Edge on embarkation day to see if enrolling your 10-year-old with the tweens is a good fit. The youth counselors will ask you to sign a consent form and make sure your child feels comfortable with the activities and age group. Just to be clear, a ten-year-old is welcome in Oceaneer Club and Lab AND Edge. With so many options, ten is a great age to be on a Disney Cruise!
Beyond the youth clubs,
there are so many fun activities for you to enjoy together—like swimming, drawing, trivia, crafts, game shows, movies, and more! My son especially loves the water slides onboard. They tend to be less crowded on embarkation day in the early afternoon. I suggest packing swimsuits in your day bag so you can jump right into the fun!
I hope this helps you make the most of your family’s adventure at sea! I know you'll create unforgettable memories together. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out. Wishing you smooth sailing and endless magic!
SEAS the adventure!
