Somebody please suggest best company for Cruise (Med) with Teens

Hi all


I am looking for suggestions of the best company that caters for Cruises around the Med in Summer (August 2015) for Teens. After just returning from a Christmas Holiday to the Canaries with our Teens we vowed that for the next few years the emphasis must be on keeping the teens occupied. A lot of parents will be familiar with the teenage huffing, puffing and sighing when it transpired the Hotel WiFi was down or the moaning when it was discovered there was "Nothing to do" and I'll go mad if we have to go through this again.


With this in mind, we have decided that this years Holiday MUST, MUST, MUST have a lot to do for Teenagers (12 & 14 years).


We had already decided that this year we were going to try our first cruise so please can somebody suggest the best company/ship etc that caters for kids. It's no use taking the kids to see Beautiful, White sandy beaches because they just won't appreciate the beauty. They want to be active and mixing with others (Table Tennis, Snooker, Arcades etc).


We would prefer somewhere hot (Europe etc).


Any suggestions please???

I remember cruising as a teen with my parents and basically on sea days they barely saw me except for dinner - I'd look at RCL, NCL or even Carnival as having plenty to keep them occupied and non whiney- however I would also point out that wi-fi is very very expensive on cruise ships as it is satellite -which may not go down very well !

Wow. Thanks for the rapid response Duchy. I take on board your comments about the WiFi and would hope that the kids will be that occupied that a lack of WiFi will be not a problem.


Thank you

Another vote for Royal Caribbean. Our teenagers loved it.

Go to www.boards.cruisecritic.com and click on How to cruise. Plenty of advise for the FIRST TIME CRUISERS.

Thanks all.

Royal Caribbean but on a ship that has wave rider and Johnnie Rockets etc. So mid range or bigger and modern

some of the older ones are a bit grimmer and attract less teens.Independence, adventure, liberty, or any of the new bigger ones.
