Cruises where teens are fully supervised?

I am looking to go on a cruise. I am a only mother with 2 kids, a boy aged 6 and a girl aged 14. Most of the cruise lines I have looked at have children and teen programs. However what is concerning me is that in all the teen programs I have looked at teens, even young teens 12-15 are allowed to come and go as they please. I don't like the idea of my 14 year old girl being able to wonder around the ship by herself. Dose anyone know a cruises line where teen (in particular teens aged 12-15) are not allowed to come and go as they please? Please do not tell me I should let her wonder the ship I have already made up my mind.

1. The boys and girls club

2. I don't even wanna think of what could happen to her if she was wandering around on her own... I don't really know. I'm 15 and have been on a cruise, but I was free to go wherever I wanted. I was 14 back then. But I am and was mature enough to know what I should and shouldn't do or let anyone do to me.

3. look talk to her and ask her what she thinks keep an eye on her and make sure you contact her every 30-40 mins she is not with you - if you try to keep her on a leash she will pull away more but just make it clear what shes allowed and not allowed to do set some ground rules.

4. Cruises aren't like resorts or theme parks.There is a more open atmosphere on them because they are very enclosed. When you aren't at a port of call no one gets on and no one gets off and when you are at port. When you are, near excessive documentation is required. I know you say you have made up your mind, but giving her a walky-talky like the mile radius ones you use when skiing and just letting her have a bit of independence would keep it covered. Ships have staff everywhere, not much can happen even to a 14 year old girl wandering the ship.

That said, Disney caters the most to children, and will have the most activities to keep them occupied.
