Kids
Kids
The younger generation will have a blast onboard, with a range of kids and teen programs on offer.
The Tree House - Kids, ages 3-to-7, can dance, enjoy pajama movie nights, create art projects like Animal Planet™ puppets and masks or compete in a Lego boat-building contest, in the whimsical, forest-themed world that inspires playtime and invites exploration.
The Lodge - Ages between 8-to12 can stay busy with games, dancing and kid-sized Olympic competitions. Their minds stay busy, too, with California Science Centre programs like rocket building, or they can explore outer space with Stargazing and learning how to build a model roller coater. Exciting events like talent shows, theme nights, and treasure hunts encourage new friendships and family togetherness.
The Beach House - is for teens aged 13-to17. This contemporary lounge is "the place" for teens, perfect for hanging out and socializing with late-night movie viewing, hip hop dance classes, video games tournaments and sports competitions like dodgeball and basketball. But that's just the beginning. They'll dazzle on the red carpet with our Rock the Boat teens-only party, complete with awards and "mocktails"
