Judy,
Celebrity cruise on the Century to Northern Europe.
My husband and I are taking my stepdaughters, age 18 and 21 on a cruise to Northern Europe. For those of you who have been to those ports, any thoughts on what a 21 and 18 year old will enjoy?
recommendations as far as excursions?
We have never been to Scandinavia. This is the 12 day cruise departing from Amsterdam.
You might want to have them look at the shore excursions for your ports of call (

Don't worry too much about trying to get everybody to do the same thing. Your stepdaughters certainly are old enough to take shore excursions on their own if they want to do something different than what you want to do, and it will be fun to compare notes at dinner after going your separate ways!
Many of the Scandanavian capitals have turned the main streets of their downtown shopping distctrics into pedestrian malls with lots of sidewalk cafes. In the summertime, they usually have a lot of street performers from local colleges, so it's fun to wander through and watch or listen to some of the performers while shopping for souvenirs. There's no charge for this, though the performers do accept gratuities.
