Cruising with Princess is a complete escape for all ages. There's everything from arts and crafts, game tables, movies, and splash pools (on select cruise ships) to teen centers with ping-pong tables, juke boxes, and all the latest video games.

There's a play area and special outdoor deck exclusively for toddlers. And Remix is designed to give teens their own space — and the time of their lives. In addition, kids on the Grand and Golden Princess will also enjoy their own deck space with a Whale's Tail splash pool, and teens have a separate hot tub and deck area just for them.

All Youth and Teen Centers are fully supervised by our staff of Youth Activities Coordinators.

Children are welcome on all Princess cruise ships, but facilities vary. Pacific Princess and Ocean Princess do not have dedicated Youth and Teen Centers (programs are available only when 20 or more children are sailing). However, when 20 or more children ages 3 to 17 are traveling on these ships, they will enjoy a varied schedule of supervised activities organized by a Youth Activities Coordinator.

Princess Pelicans, ages 3 to 7, are entertained with non-stop activities:
	Activities Arts and crafts Backstage tours Disco night Movies and cartoons Scavenger hunts Talent shows	Parties Birthday parties Kids dance parties Pajama parties Food Afternoon ice cream Kids-only dinners Pizza and ice cream parties

Shockwaves, ages 8 to 12, is always busy with activities such as:
	Activities Arts and crafts Backstage tours Disco night Movies and cartoons Scavenger hunts Talent shows	Parties Birthday parties Kids dance parties Pajama parties Food Afternoon ice cream Kids-only dinners Pizza and ice cream parties

As part of the Princess Youth and Teen program, junior cruisers will also participate in two special dinner evenings designed for each age group. Younger passengers will enjoy dinner without parents and in the company of newfound friends and counselors in one of their ship's many eateries. For teens, one of the two evenings will feature a formal get-together in one of the main dining rooms, complete with photographs and a group night out to enjoy many Princess evening offerings*.

Note: Age groups may differ on Caribbean Princess, Diamond Princess, Sapphire Princess, Star Princess, Pacific Princess and Ocean Princess.

* The teen dinner may be held in a different location other than the main dining room.

Anytime Dining is recommended for families who want to dine together, so children may fully participate in the evening youth activities (starting at 7 p.m.).

The dining alternatives onboard our ships allow parents the freedom to spend time with their children while they eat an early dinner at the pizzeria, in the 24-hour restaurant offering a special children's menu, in their stateroom with 24-hour room service, or in one of our many alternative dining locations. After taking their children to the supervised Youth and Teen Centers, parents can enjoy dining on their own in the elegant dining rooms.

In addition to your passport, or, where applicable, proof of citizenship and a valid government issued photo ID, plus any required visas, you must also present minors’ permissions and original vaccination certificates. On embarkation day, the Princess Youth and Teen Schedule for the entire cruise will be delivered to your stateroom. If you need more than one copy, please contact your Youth Activities Coordinator.

Many shore excursions have been selected with family cruisers in mind. Discounted rates for children and "family-friendly" activities are available to make the most of your time in port.

On embarkation day, the Princess Youth and Teen Schedule for the entire cruise will be delivered to your stateroom. If you need more than one copy, please contact your Youth Activities Coordinator.
