|  |  | | | | | A BOATLOAD OF FUN
Cruising with Princess is a complete escape for all ages. There's everything from arts and crafts corners, game tables, movies, and splash pools (on select ships) to Teen Centers with fooseball tables, juke boxes, and all the latest video games. Teens have their own "Remix" lounges that are designed to give them the time of their lives. In addition, youth on 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 qualified & friendly staff of Youth Activities Coordinators.
Children are welcome on all Princess ships, but facilities vary. Pacific and Tahitian 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.
FAMILY CRUISING TIPS
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.
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. Please see our Adventures Ashore brochure for details.
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.
Don't miss the orientation and registration meeting on the first night of your cruise. You and your children can meet the Youth and Teen staff and learn more about our exciting shipboard programs. Parents are always welcome to join their children in the Youth and Teen Centers.

CALIFORNIA SCIENCE CENTER
In a cruise industry exclusive, this respected Los Angeles institution provides educational and entertaining interactive science activities for children onboard most Princess ships. Young passengers will be enthralled with award-winning science programs geared toward their particular ship's destination. Whale watching, coral reef studies, building and racing sailboats, chemistry experiments, marine biology studies, and squid dissection are just some of the activities that may be offered.
PETE'S PALSSM
Youngsters who participate in Princess Youth events will take home a limited-edition member of Pete's Pals as a way to learn more about endangered species in the areas in which Princess sails. On each cruise, Princess will issue a specially designed plush animal beginning with "Pelican Pete," the program's mascot. In conjunction, kids will learn about the plight of many such threatened and endangered creatures, including white pelicans, manatees, sea turtles and bald eagles.
PELICAN'S PERCHSM
Kids can make the most of their Caribbean adventure in this supervised play area on our own private island, Princess Cays. This special playground is managed by the shipboard youth staff and provides a secure place for children while parents enjoy the many beach amenities and water sports offered. Pelican's Perch also offers a kid's pool. Children must be supervised when using this pool. Pelican's Perch is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
PRINCESS YOUTH & TEEN DINNER EVENTS
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 get-together in one of the main dining rooms, complete with photographs and a group night out to enjoy many Princess evening offerings.
ADDITIONAL REMINDERS
Children under 3 are not permitted in the Youth Center unless accompanied by a parent at all times. Youth Center staff cannot administer medication, bottle-feed, change diapers, or provide meal service.** Private in-cabin babysitting is not available on any Princess ship. All children participating in the Youth Program must be potty-trained.
CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
Princess welcomes all teens and children ages 3-17 to participate in our programs. Let our staff know of all medical and/or special needs for your children. We will make every effort to accommodate them. Please be advised that Princess Youth staff may not offer individual one-on-one supervision.
The teen dinner may be held in a different location other than the main dining room.
