TINKERTOY ..... the 1 & only

Both Carnival and Royal Caribbean cater to families and the ships will generally have a mixture of kids and adults, mostly ages 20 to 4o but also a few older. The major difference between the two is Carnival is the budget cruise line for first time cruiser and young folks who want to party. Both have programs for teens and areas of their ships where teen scna hang out together. Royal Caribbean, however, has the most activities on its ships for kids. Things like ice skating, rock climbing wall, basketball court, roller blade track, and on the new Freedom class ship a surfing simulator called the ":Flowrider".

But not all ships are the same and they do not all have all of these activities. You should go to the Carnival and RC web sites and look at the features of the ship you are considering. The very best ship to go on if you want alot of things to do on ship are RC's Freedom, Liberty and Independence of the Seas ( http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ships/class/home.do;jsessionid=0000jgQm3vOi9MjTX2oyxaO88sK:12hbiocus?shipClassCode=FR&br=R )and its Voyager Class ships (( http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ships/class/home.do;jsessionid=0000jgQm3vOi9MjTX2oyxaO88sK:12hbiocus?shipClassCode=VY&br=R).

The RC ships have a area called Adventure Ocean that has a teen club called Fuel where you can hang out until about 2:00 AM every evening. Carnival ships also have something similar. Normally if your cruise is going to the Caribbean there will be plenty of teens.

I think you and your friend would have a blast. RC is my favorite!

Dude

Both of the cruise are superb in their own way, it really depends on your preference. My personal opinion is that Royal Caribbean are more to grand experience, classy and laid back. However still the ship generally have a good mixture of age 20 - 50s. RC have good program catering for teens like rock climbing ice-skating sort however what i heard is that different cruise have different stuff.

As for Carnival, it is more like a budget cruise but budget doesn't mean it is not classy. Due to the nature of pricing, there are considerably more teens one the ship as most of them are on holidays or some teen trip.

Bottom line that from my experience of the 2 cruise, what i think is that both are very different in terms of their style, but also similar in terms of their programs. So if you plan to have a fun time with your friend either should be fine. If you want to look for some happening crowds Carnival should be best.

i went on carnival when i was 16 and had a blast!
there are a mixture of age groups, but enough teens to make friends and have fun.
go to the teen club mixer the first night and you will be able to meet everyone. you will be hanging out with those people all week.

i have so many memories from the friends i made. we had so much fun just listening to the music and sitting in the hot tubs at night.
just don't be shy, and you'll have an awesome time. :)
