I haven't been on a ship for Christmas so I can't answer that part of the question. As for the kids there are the pools, ice skating, rock climbing, miniature golf, inline skating people watching and shopping in the Royal Promenade and Adventure Ocean ...
Our young teens program is specially designed just for kids ages 12 - 14. It's not some structured program of classes. You can come join activities and games when you want to, or just chill in our Living Room with your friends. And your parents won't worry about leaving you there, because every member of our Adventure Ocean® staff holds a college degree in education, recreation or related field and has experience working with children ages 3 - 17.
Activities Include:
Quick. How many one-liners do you know? Test your wittiness with some Improv Games.

Adventure Theater by Camp Broadway
Blending educational activities with on-your-feet fun, Adventure Theater participants get a first taste of the actor's craft, in which entire worlds are created with just their bodies, voices and imagination. Using structured theater games, vocal and physical exercises, and creativity-freeing activities, instructors guide groups through an exploration of the theater arts.

Other than that, there is not much for a twelve year old to do.
