Answer 1

Its worth a try. Worst case scenario is you dont meet anyone and or you dont like it. Both are very unlikely to happen. Just go for it and I promise you wont be disappointed. You'll make some friends if you just put yourself out there. It'll be worth it in the end.

Answer 2

I think you definitely should.

I'm fairly shy and I ended up travelling around the world by myself. The first days in hostels were scary until I finally got sick of sitting on my own and went up to groups of people and asked if i could sit with them . I soon realised that they had all just met and were more than happy to talk to me.

You should remember that the other people are in the same boat too (bad pun I know) and will be quite often just as nervous as you.

Answer 3

of course u should, why not??? go everywhere!!

Answer 4

Question: What do most 15-17 year-olds do on the cruise besides go to the dance club and meet other people? Is there anything else?

Answer: Well, I don't know what else you would want to do! Typically, if I am not hanging out with my new friends, I hang out with my family or do stuff on my own. I enjoy taking naps -- something I don't usually have time to do at home! You can also use the gym to work out, play basketball or miniature golf, lay out by the pool and get a tan, eat lots of food and spend time in ports.

Question: What can you say to break the ice? Is it hard to meet people on a cruise?

Answer: No! It is not hard at all to meet people. You just have to go with an open mind and eventually things will work out. Don't freak out if you don't meet someone the first night; it takes people a few days to warm up. As for an ice-breaker line -- trust me, you don't want my pick-up lines. Some teens who are more outgoing than others, and they are the ones who can bring a bunch of people together.

Question: How are the arcades?

Answer: I am not an avid arcade game player, so I can just give you some passing observations. It really varies from ship to ship. Obviously older ships have games that are not as cool; the newer ones have better games, but it seems like some cruise lines aren't too big on the upkeep and maintenance of the games. It drives me nuts when I want to play California Cruising' and the shift k**b is broken off! Back to the Question:, the biggest arcade is probably on Princess Cruises' Grand Class ships. In second and third place, respectively, would be Carnival Conquest and Royal Caribbean's Voyager Class ships.

Question: What if your first group of friends is a dud?

Answer: LEAVE! It's your choice who you want to hang out with on vacation. If they don't seem to be your type of people, find some other teens. You only have a week, and I doubt that there will be any "drama" resulting from it. One thing to remember is that the older you get, the harder it is to meet people. So if the teens in your first group aren't your type, just try to find some other people.

Question: What can't teens under 18 do?

Answer: Teens under 18 are unable to gamble in the casino or drink liquor. However, on Royal Caribbean guests who are 18 years and older can consume beer with parental consent. Currently Royal Caribbean and Celebrity are the only lines with this rule. Also, guests under 18 are not allowed to use the adult nightclubs.
