Zenith for teenagers?

[tadbconn]

Planning a cruise to Bermuda this summer '05 from the NYC area. Thought I'd have more options. Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas sounds the best ship-wise for my 2 teenage sons (15 & 18) -- but it's only a 5-day cruise which doesnt give you much time in Bermuda.

 

Is the Celebrity Zenith appropriate for our family of 4? Our only other cruise was on Carnival to the Caribbean 3 years ago -- and these message boards were such a big help back then.

 

Thanks, everyone, in advance.

I hope so. We are taking our 12 and 16 years old girls August'05. We did the AOS (Voyager class) last summer and would have loved to go on Voyager since everyone loved that cruise, but you are right 5 days is not enough. Besides, voyager docks at the Dockyard.

moai -- thanks for replying. that makes me feel a little better that some other teenagers will be on board.

 

Mind if I ask which week you're going in August? We haven't made definite plans yet.

We did the Zenith from NYC in August of 2003 and it is great for a family. We don't have any kids, but there were plenty of well behaved kids of all ages on the cruise. Bermuda is beautiful. Have a great time!

Summer will have plenty of families on the Zenith to Bermuda. Most teens just meet other kids and hang out together on the ship. Also, remember that while at sea your 18 year old can drink alcohol with certain limitations and can also gamble in the casino so that puts him/her into a different category than the 16 yr. old.

Anne,

We are going August 6th. My girls met a lot of kids last year and they still keep in touch with some of them. :D
