Either Royal Caribbean, Disney or Carnival. Personally, I would say Royal Caribbean or Disney. Carnival is a little more for adults and has more partying and such, plus, it isn't as "elegent" as some of the other cruise lines.

Disney's main purpose is for kids. Your mom would still have a blast, but you and your sister would also enjoy yourselves a lot. Royal Caribbean is less costly and also good for kids. If you are a Disney fan, you will especially like the cruise line. I like their shows, service, rooms, etc. better than Royal Carribean.

I suggest getting a travel agent to help you with the planning, it will make things a lot easier for you and your mom.

This is a great site to help you with information on ports, ships, etc. : http://cruisecritic.com/

Hope this helps and be sure to book the cruise in advance to save your mother some money.

I suggest Norwegian. They had an awesome teen program, and a couple for younger ages. It was the best vacation I've ever been on (I'm in high school). Happy early birthday!

norwegan cruise line

I believe RCI would be perfect for you & your family. Carnival is great as well, at least for a 7 day cruise. The shorter cruises tend to get more "party people" onboard.
Disney is always a good cruise for families!

Being that you are 16, I would suggest Royal Caribbean. There is a fantastic club just for your age and a separate one for your little sister. Plus, your mom will probably enjoy the fact that Royal Caribbean is not a "party" line. They are more family friendly.

So, good luck and happy cruising!

Royal Caribbean. It's very cool. Or u might want to check the Disney cruise, maybe your little sister'll like it, and also you and ur mom, Disney is a place to go at every age!!! Good luck!


TINKERTOY ..... the 1 & only
I suggest Princess, Royal Carribean, or Norwegian. They all have great ships and itineraries. Royal Caribbean is my favorite.

I love Royal Caribbean. Have & will travel with them often.

You can purchase a soda sticker which allows you unlimited soda for $6 a day. However, I think $50 for a week's worth of soda is outrageous! Bring a six pack or two of your own soda with you on board. There's always lemonade, water and tea available for free in the Windjammer and the Solarium. I brought my own soda and didn't even open half of it!

If you want more tips, feel free to email me at gojenni714@yahoo.com

Carnival claims that more kids travel with thier cruise line than any other cruiseline. Carnival is the best valued cruise line out of all the other cruise lines and I am sure you will be happy with taking a cruise on one of thier largest cruise ships. However if your family can afford to step up to Royal Caribbean I would recomend it. You can find more information on twototravel.com or look us up on the web using the search prhase "bc travel company"

Royal Carribean. The facilities on board the ships are awesome. There is so much to do you would have such an awesome time.

Definately Royal Caribbean. I would definately recommend going on the Voyager Of The Seas if you plan on doing a 7 night eastern Caribbean (which does go to the Bahamas), there are so many things to do for kids of all ages to do on those ships! But, believe me, no matter which one of Royal Caribbean's ships you go on you will have so much fun!! I have cruised with them four times so far.
