INSIDER TIPS

Adventure Ocean space varies by ship

Treating teenagers more like adults, this programme is a way for them to meet new friends while they enjoy their favourite pastimes, from morning until 2am. As well as sports, gaming, pool parties, dancing and music, teens have their very own designated areas to hang out in such as The Living Room and Fuel teen night club.

The Living Room is a great space, with chairs and beanbags scattered around the room, surrounded by foosball, Xboxes and a widescreen TV for movies. Teens are allowed to come and go as they please in the Living Room, there no need to sign in or out.

Directly above is Fuel, the teen-only disco. There are dance parties most nights, often with a theme -- Miami night or '90s, for example -- as well as pool parties in the Solarium at the front of the ship.
