Best cruise for teenagers??

[A2Zmom]

Hi

We are looking for a Caribbean cruise in March 2023.  We will be 3 families with 6 teenagers ages 15-17.  Which cruise line/ship would be our best bet to keep the kids happy and busy?

Thanks!

In March you will be in the middle of various spring breaks, maybe more college than high school.  There will be a ton of young folks.  Your kids will find plenty to do and friends no matter what ship you are on.  
Have you - or any of them - cruised before?  Are you looking for 7 days, or less?  Are the teens girls or boys?  What kinds of things do they like to do?  You haven’t given us enough info to give you good suggestions.  EM

We have cruised before on RCCL but when the kids were much younger.  We're looking for a 7 day cruise.  The teens are 3 girls and 3 boys and they're open to pretty much anything- but they're all pretty sporty.  Thanks again

I'd say go with whatever you want. The kids should just be happy going on a cruise.

It looks like you are going to have to fly to whatever departure port you choose.  I would look at cost, and convenience of flights when choosing the port.  As few changes as possible…and if flying in a day early (recommended) cost of hotels.  EM

If you are totally flexible, then maybe you ask them what is most important to them.  Do they care about itinerary?  Or are there any ship amenities that would matter most?   For my oldest son, the ability to eat steak and sushi is the highlight.  Any newer RC or NCL ship should work well for teenagers, so there are a lot of options.

My teens love RCCL so we've never done another line with them. It is the perfect balance for the whole family, in our eyes. Happy to answer any specific questions.

I would do Oasis class on Royal Caribbean. I believe Wonder is the newest. Plenty for teens to do. We've done several if you look in my signature. My kids now teen/tween have done 7.
