I have three grown up kids now and one of the nicest thing we did as a family was to go on cruise vacations. Here are a few tips to ensure that you and your teens can enjoy that cruise vacation. 1. Any ship will do!. The bigger ships will have more teens and more facilities and programs specifically for them. These programs are nice but not critical since teens, as we all know, just find other teens to hang out with. The opposite applies when you travel with younger kids, they need more structure. 2. Teens will gripe initially about the trip but usually end up enjoying it. Teens griping about something is almost a universal rule, so don't let this faze you. It's pretty much standard to hear that they would rather be left behind at home to be with their friends .. but from my experience, at the end of each cruise, my teens are always glad they came with mom and dad. 3. Teens can carry their own luggage (just kidding!) It's true though ... Remember those days when you had to carry them and their stuff when they were younger? With teens, you can now focus on more exotic locations which you could not go to before. 4. Teens need breathing room, space-wise. If you have younger kids, a triple cabin or a quad cabin will work since it's a bit cozier than the larger rooms. Teens will need more space, so depending on your budget, you have several options -- mini-suites or family suites which can hold five or more people, adjoining cabins with a private connecting door between them (similar set-up you can find in hotels), two adjoining cabins with no privacy door, or cabins facing each other with one across the hall and one with a balcony and a nice ocean view! Each cruise will present you with various options so it's best to confirm the details with a cruise counselor before you book it. In my experience, mini-suites are usually larger than the largest regular room, with curtains separating the sleeping areas. A regular suite will be larger than two regular rooms combined and might be less expensive than the two rooms. If you will be charged the same for a full suite versus two regular rooms, then you need to evaluate which one is better in terms of comfort and privacy. The suite might be able to accommodate your entire family but separate rooms will provide more privacy to your teens. If you go with the separate rooms approach, you will not be able to track your teens activity as much. To address this, you can always book adjoining rooms so you can at least hear your teens activities next door. Due to the above factors, adjoining cabins are usually the first to be booked during summer and spring breaks, so try to reserve them months in advance. 5. Teens need their freedom. While your main agenda is to just enjoy the vacation with the family, your teens might just want to be on his own as much as possible! This is where cruise vacations works great -- you can be together as a family unit while doing those on-shore excursions away from the ship, but once you come on-board, let your teens set their own activities with other teens. All you need to do is implement a simple curfew and check up on them a few times. Just follow these simple tips and you are on your way to a relaxing cruise with your teenagers. Time goes by too fast for all of us and these teens will be out of the house on their own before you know it, so enjoy the time you have with them as much as you can!
