I've come to the conclusion that when I cruise with tweens & teens a ship with a Seaplex is a must have!!
The Seaplex is a huge indoor space at the back of the ship. Activities we saw being run in there included:
Dodgem Cars
Dodge ball Competitions
Basketball Competitions
Volleyball Competitions
Basketball Free-play
Roller Skating
Trapeze / Circus School
Dance Classes
Soccer Competitions
The best part was, as it was a full size basketball court, there was room to have one activity at one end, and another at the other - there are nets that drop down from the ceiling to separate the space!!
There is also a mezzanine level of the Seaplex that in addition to being a great spot to view activities below, has four "Sea Pods" that have multiple table tennis tables (free), air hockey (fee $2.50) and 5 Xbox consoles and controllers (free).
I've also reached the conclusion that the Ovation has a very small arcade for this very reason - THERE IS SO MUCH COMPLIMENTARY STUFF ON OFFER IN THE SEAPLEX!
There is also a Hot dog food truck & a Freestyle Soda Machine to keep your tweens & teens sorted for food & drinks.
A tip from me - reserve the Escape Room as soon as you can either via Cruise Planner before the cruise, or on board via any of the Ipads you see around. It was a lot of fun and the sneaky staff don't advertise it much. It is complimentary and only takes a maximum of 12 people at a time but due to scheduling issues (the room is shared between escape room and teen lounge) they don't run it very often.
Please see pic below with some labels to help you get your bearings!! This is standing on the starboard side looking towards the port side.
Let me know if you have any questions about the Seaplex and I will try and answer them :)
Happy Cruising.
