Curfew for teens

[JGB]

Well I'll jump in here.

I have a daughter now 16 but we have been cruising since she was 7. Of course early on in our cruising career she had a curfew. But this dropped away as time went on. However when she was a preteen even though she did not have a curfew per se we were all in one room and as a courtesy to us we expected her in at a reasonable hour so that we were not awoken. We usually turn in before mid night.

Now as time went on and she started to invite a friend along and she was now in a seperate cabin.We put in the following policies. You can stay up as late as you wish but you can never seperate nor enter anothers cabin. If there is any trouble or one of the above rules is broken then an early curfew will be enforced. On evenings prior to an early shore excursion the next day 6 hours sleep minimally must be gotten. This has worked for us.

Happy cruising!
