Answer 1

You can buy it at the customer service inside the ship and there is a lots of other special drink you can purchase at the sun deck,

everywhere or even room service and final bill will be paid at the customer service desk on the last day of cruise.

On ships that do not have a designated lounge for teens, each evening, the Disco Dance Club will be open from 9:30pm to 10:45pm for Teens. At 10:45pm, the music will stop and the lights turned up. The DJ will announce that the disco will re-open at 11:00pm for guests 18 years and older.        

Shore Excursions

The Teen Shore Excursion Program allows Teens to go as a group on one tour throughout the voyage. This tour is selected by the group from a selection of Youth Program recommended tours. The tour is chaperoned by the Youth Staff (no parents). Parental consent forms must be signed and handed in prior to the tour.            

Medication

The Youth Staff may not administer any medication and/or needles to any child participating in the Youth Activity Program. Additionally, no medications with the exception of epi-pens, diabetic testing equipment and inhalers are permitted in the playroom. If the child does require regular medication while attending Circle C, the parents must return to administer the medication.

I have a schedule of what they might regularly do, but I can only attach it in an email. sorry. hope this helps.

Answer 4

on the first day, they will have stands around lido deck, which is deck 9, where you can buy soda cards. circle c is really great. you really arent babysat. you can leave at any time you want to, even in the middle of an activity. you must register, even though no attendance is taken, but other that that, you are completely free to come and go as you please. circle c has activities such as survivor, scavenger hunts, late night movies, deck parties, late swimming, and games. its really fun :]

have a great time!

Answer 5

The program has events for young cruisers like scavenger hunts, teens only time in the discos and other events for each age group.

At that age, I don't think your parents have to sign you in and out...you can come and go as you please.

The Soda Fountain Card is a good buy.  For adults, it is $5.50 per day plus a 15% gratuity...a bit less for kids.  You purchase the soda card on the Lido Deck the day you board the ship.  Notable...the soda fountain card is not good for sodas ordered through room service....those and the sodas in the mini bar are $1.75 per can plus a 15% gratuity.

The kids club is a good place to meet vacation friends.
