Last week we announced the addition of new onboard programming for tweens.  The program, “Circle C”, promises fun activities for youth ages 12-14. With a  facility  fit for a dancing queen (or king), the new area will feature a dance floor with high-tech sound and lighting system, along with 42-inch plasma-screen TVs displaying movies and music videos, and a touch-screen jukebox stocked with the latest hits. Also featured are gaming pods with the latest video games and consoles, with 20-inch plasma-screens positioned throughout the room and used exclusively for video gaming.  

The “Circle C” program complements our other youth-oriented programming, including “Camp Carnival” for younger kids and “Club O2” for 15- to 17-year-olds, ensuring there are  activities  tailored to each of these unique age groups.   Check out what some online publications have to say about “Circle C”:
