For teenagers. What was your best cruise ship?

Question

Who was it with, Like carnival, royal carribean etc. And if you can remember what was the name of the ship. I am planning a cruise next summer for my son. His first cruise and my second. He will be 17 and going around his birthday. He loves to play video games and go on slides in the water park. Besides the ships that have arcades and regular pools. what are some of your experiences? I dont want him to get bored. tell me as much as you can. And also tell me if you think i should pay for another teen to come with us. Should it be a male or whatever current girlfriend he has at that time? Im thinking of going to the bahamas but im not set on it yet. It will be around his birthday 7/27/09.

Answer 1

Carnival i would say is the best. RC is also good. If you would like send me an email at [e-mail] and i will send you info on all the cruises, and what they have to offer and comparision for you as well. Its always fun to have another person around his age go. Any questions feel free to contact me.

Answer 2

I would suggest royal caribbean and carnival. I have been on royal caribbean majesty of the seas to the bahamas, I believe I was 19 at the time and it was a blast.

carnival sensation, imagination, and fascination go to the bahamas next july

I am due to cruise on carnival liberty in january for the first time, I have heard good reviews, but have not experienced carnival first hand.

Carnival will be your cheaper option and I have heard mixed reviews about the food on some of their ships, not so much as bad, just not as high quality as royal caribbean..

I have also cruised on norwegian, ship,service, food and excursions were amazing, and I love the freestyle cruising, although they attracted an older crowd, so not as many young teenagers for your son to meet.

Answer 3

Well, i go on cruises quite alot. You could say im a part time world traveler. I've been to a lot of places. For a 17 year old boy, i would say probably Carnival Victory. Its got a waterslide, and also they might be putting a new waterpark on it, with more slides. Also they have a big arcade. And its great fun. The food is amazing, and you get the same waiters and you sit at the same table everytime you eat in the dining area. They also have a restaurant on one of the floors. You can go to www.carnival.com, i believe. And you can have virtual tours. Its bigger then you think, and its an amazing ship, you will have a lot of fun. I hope i helped (:
