I let my then 10 and 13 year olds venture out unaccompanied on the Oasis of the Seas. Sometimes, they even went out by themselves without each other.

At 19 and 21 I was in college in the city (not THE CITY) living on my own.  I think that normal 19 & 21 year olds can handle being on a contained cruise ship for 7 days without constant...
