nadalina Posted May 29, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I would appreciate advice from those of you who are familiar with some of the newer RCI ships. I want to take my granddaughter on a cruise next year for her 16th birthday. She is very adventurous, athletic and energetic, so I'd like to choose one that will give her endless options of entertainment. She has been on four other cruises but nothing like the Oasis or Allure, the two I am most seriously considering. Also, as a completely different stateroom option than those we've had in the past, I am considering the balcony cabin that overlooks either the Boardwalk or Central Park. Any advice and suggestions will be great appreciated. Thank you, Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted May 29, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Definetely the Allure (or Oasis) So many activities. Fuel (teen lounge for he age) Group activites.

akcruz Posted May 29, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Agree definitely go with Allure or Oasis. As for the cabin type, if you want a quiet cabin go for one overlooking central park as the boardwalk ones can be a bit noisier. On the other hand a lot more to see from the boardwalk. We have been on Allure twice and we barely saw my teen! The second time was for his high school graduation and this was his choice by a long shot.

LBumb Posted May 29, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 29, 2014 if you do a boardwalk balcony, i suggest aft so you can still see the ocean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dz9yvr Posted May 29, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) There isn't a question for a teenager, its Oasis/Allure. Probably Western itinerary is more interesting. Central Park Balcony would be very boaring for a teenager Edited May 29, 2014 by dz9yvr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sealeggs Posted May 29, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Voyager class and up. There will be plenty for a teenager to do on any of those ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehfl Posted May 30, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I think Allure or Oasis would be fun. If you get a Boardwalk balcony, she'll enjoy watching the divers practice during the day :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted May 30, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Oasis or Allure would be our choice for sure! There's so much for her to do and enjoy on either of those ships. :D LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinfan68 Posted May 30, 2014 #11 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Oasis or Allure no brainer Agree ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldTraveler Posted May 30, 2014 #12 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Once you book, join the roll call, as you may find kids of the same age already cruising with their families. All it takes is just a few kids to hang out with (assuming yours is outgoing) either at the meet/mingle or teen events and she'll probably have a great time. We're taking our 16, 18 and 21 kids (oldest with GF) on the Oasis and all are looking forward to it in a set of aft B1 cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadalina Posted June 1, 2014 Author #13 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Thank you, All, for your thoughtful input and suggestions. Since only the Oasis will be sailing in the Caribbean during that time, the Oasis it will be. I have decided on a B1 category overlooking the Boardwalk but also able to see the sea. Thanks so much!!
