Fun Factory is one possibility: http://www.celebritycruises.com/onboard-celebrity/family-fun-cruise#top&panel1-2&panel2-3

 

Can't say I am an expert as mine are 19 and 14 ... when they were younger, they had a good time on the Infinity in Fun Factory.

Upon boarding there will be a desk for the Childrens programs and usually first day they hold a meeting to meet the staff and other kids. Make sure you attend that meeting as it will give you a good idea for what will go on during the cruise. An 11 year old is the perfect age for the fun factory. Its been awhile since my kids were in the programs but they used to issue a daily for the kids, hopefully someone will confirm they still do this. They will have plenty for the kids to do, you will be pleasantly surprised. Also, at the meeting and the muster drill they will explain what the staff does in the unlikely event of an emergency.

 

Also, one thing my kids loved was the Slumber party. They usually hold this from late evening until early morning. Kids get to stay up with other kids while Mom and Dad can spend some time by themselves. Usually, the younger ones watch a movie and fall asleep. There is a small extra fee for this service.

 

I came back from Summit two weeks ago, welcome to Cruise Critic and enjoy your cruise.

My daughter was 11 last summer on the Summit. She is not a fan of the Fun Factory, but was very much into their scavenger hunts. She got a schedule the first day and then would go just to participate in the hunt.

 

As a family, we participated in the scavenger hunts hosted by the activities staff.

 

One evening, there was an outdoor movie.

 

The final sea day, there were some Fun Factory family events, a talent show, maybe bingo.

 

There was a flash mob with a few practices some afternoons.

 

She enjoyed watching the piano player perform in Cafe Al Bacio some afternoons and Cellar Masters in the evenings.

 

We went to a few of the evening shows.

Well, assuming that your count-down clock date is more correct than the date in your post title ;) -- I've included a link to your (7-5-15) Summit roll-call. That's where you can meet the folks you'll actually be sailing with. This time of year, you may very well find folks with kids in a similar age range. Good luck, and have a great cruise on the beautiful Summit! :cool:
