What can a 13 year old do on a Disney cruise?

Guests ages 11 to 14 can head to Edge, an interactive play space exclusively for tweens. Edge features all kinds of fun, including a dance floor, a lounge area and the latest high-tech music, video and gaming systems. Plus, there's karaoke, scavenger hunts, themed nights and other special events.



A 13-year-old on a Disney cruise has access to specialized "tween" and "teen" spaces that are among the best in the industry. The primary hangout for this age group is Edge, an exclusive lounge for guests aged 11 to 14. Here, they can participate in scavenger hunts, themed pizza parties, high-tech video gaming competitions, and counselor-led social activities designed to help them make friends. Because 13-year-olds are at the upper end of the Edge age bracket, they are also in a unique position where they may feel more independent. They can enjoy the ship's AquaDuck or AquaMouse water coasters, attend Broadway-style shows, and participate in "Teen-only" Port Adventures at certain destinations. On Disney's private island, Castaway Cay, there is a dedicated "Teen Hideout" where they can hang out away from their parents. The Disney Cruise Line Navigator app provides a daily schedule of "Edge" activities, allowing 13-year-olds to pick and choose events that interest them while still having the freedom to explore the ship's pools and sports decks.
