All programs run from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day and open 30 minutes early on days that have off-board excursions.
They call the FantaSeas Teen Center an opportunity to escape from parents. It's a coffee house, disco, lounge and alcohol-free bar. The Teen Center hosts activities such as karaoke and dance nights and gives teens independence for a few hours in a safe environment.

The FantaSeas teen Center is open from 10 a.m. until past 2 a.m.
