A cruise has something for everyone, even the trickiest of teens.
Want to know one of the best things about a cruise? There’s something to suit everyone! A whole world of entertainment, activities and fun can be had onboard, whether you’re travelling with nanny Sue, little Jack, uncle Mike, or all three. Travelling with teenagers can be a little trick, but with Royal Caribbean it doesn’t have to be. Find out why in this blog post.
It gives them freedom
For teenagers, one of the most important things is freedom. The freedom to explore, meet new people and come and go as they please. The beauty of a cruise means they can do exactly that. The whole ship is at their disposal, so they can do whatever takes their fancy. At the same time, you can go off and do exactly as you please. Agree on a meet-up point and time for later in the day, for some family time.
There are plenty of activities

Teenagers will love the Ultimate Abyss on Harmony of the Seas.
All of our ships are full-to-bursting with great
activities, which little kids, adults and, most importantly, teenagers will love. Thrill-seeking teens can set their adventurous side free on Harmony of the Seas’ Ultimate Abyss or Anthem of the Seas’ RipCordby iFly®. Sports fans can shoot some hoops on the basketball courts. Sun-worshippers can grab a poolside sun lounger on top deck. And that’s just the beginning! With so much to see and do, there’s never a dull moment on a Royal Caribbean ship.
They can join the Adventure Ocean® Teen Club
Our award-winning
Adventure Ocean® programme is split by age and includes two special groups just for teens. 12 to 14-year-olds can enjoy movie nights, rock climbing competitions, talent shows and more, while 15 to 17-year-olds can join pool parties, karaoke nights and countless other activities. There’s also a teen-only lounge, which is full of hang-out spaces and games, and a teen-only club nights. Not only are our teen clubs lots of fun, but they’re a great way for teens to meet new friends.
Food, glorious food

Enjoy a classic all-American diner meal at Johnny Rockets.
Is your teenager a picky-eater? Or are they just hungry all the time? With Royal Caribbean it doesn’t have to get in the way of your holiday. There are so many
food options onboard, from Windjammer Marketplace to Izumi, that your tricky teen will never go hungry. When hunger strikes in between meals, they can grab a slice at
Sorrento’s pizzeria, pick up a sandwich from
Café Promenade or enjoy an ice cream from Wipe Out Café. Enjoy a family meal at
Johnny Rockets – they’re cheeseburger is unbeatable and the whole family will love it.
They can access high-speed VOOM Wi-Fi
If there’s one thing we know for certain it’s that teenagers love the internet, especially while they’re on holiday. All of our ships are now fitted with
VOOM Wi-Fi, the fastest internet at sea, so teenagers can snap, message, tweet, share photos and watch videos to their heart’s content. It’s also a great way of keeping the whole family connected, so you can share your schedules, arrange mealtimes and more.
