Royal Caribbean?

has anyone been on it? im going on the visions of the sea at the end of this month. tell me if it was fun please. also im a teen and heard they have a teen club, should i go to it or not? would it be fun and would it be easy to meet other kids my age? thanks for your help and tell me as much information as you can. THANK YOU






Answer :
I have not been on the Vision of the Seas, but I have been on one of its sister ships which is basically identical, the Splendour of the Seas. You can look at the features of the Vision class ships on this link: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruis…

The vision is one of Royal Caribbean's older ships and thus does not have all of the features of its newer ships. But it does have the rock climbing wall, a mini-golf course, multiple pools and hot tubs, and the Adventure Ocean area that includes the Teen Disco. The disco area is open until 2:00AM each evening and you will be free to hang out there whenever you want.

You will have a great time on the cruise.






Answer :
You will have a blast, experience everything. You will be around many kids your age, with tons of activities as well as areas you can move in and out of.
You will be sad when it is over, because you did not get to do everything for as long or as often as you wanted to, there is that much to do.






Answer :
Yeah Im a teen too and I went to the teen club. Its fun..kinda small though. I would do the activites they have, those are the best things. Its not hard to meet other kids because everyone is trying to meet other people like you...no one wants to spend the entire vacation with thier parents! Cruises are always fun with all the activites you never get bored! Have fun!

Teens clubs?

im wondering how the teen clubs are on cruises? im going on royal caribbean visions of the seas. also wondering if any teens around the age 14 are going? if you are email me and maybe we can hang out there=] also do alot of teens hook up there? if a guy wanted me to be with him and i wanted to, should i? what should i say to people when im meeting them for the first time?
thanks for help and also please answer all of my question if you can=]






Answer :
Almost everyone is scared that they will head off on their cruise vacation and end up not meeting anyone. Imagine� spending the entire week hanging out either by yourself, with your parents, or with that annoying little bro that's more concerned with hitting the buffet than hitting the disco. Sounds like a nightmare, huh? I know that everyone cruise I've ever been on, I've been through the exact same thing, and ya know what else? It's never happened!

I'm not exactly the most outgoing person in the world, so it's weird for me to just walk up and start talking to someone that I don't even know. Some people can do that, which is great!, but if you aren't one of those people (or even if you are!) here a couple tips for hooking up with other teens on board.

� Check out the Teen Activities - You might not know it, but most major cruise lines have activities and activity schedules just for teenagers. They vary, from dances in the disco to limbo contests to ping pong tournaments. These activities are fun because you get the chance to meet and hang out with other teens. I admit - sometimes the stuff they plan is kinda lame, but if nothing else it'll be good for a laugh! (Bonus: Your parents and annoying little sibs can't come to these, no matter what!)Teen Mingling on Carnival's Triumph

by Lauren Johnson

I recently sailed on the Carnival Triumph, a cruise that I had been eagerly awaiting for almost six months.
I bought a ton of new clothes, and made a packing list two months in advance so that I wouldn't forget anything. It worked: I didn't forget anything, but then I also brought practically my entire room with me! I was only going with my parents, and I was really worried that I wouldn't meet anyone to hang out with for the week. Here is my day-by-day account of that cruise--from the teen perspective, of course--complete with a selection of photos that you can click into.

DAY 1

Our flight arrived at Miami Airport around 10 a.m., and at 10:30 we were told we couldn't get a bus to the ship until noon. My parents and I sat around in a little restaurant until it was time to get to the ship! We got a bus to the pier, and saw the Triumph for the first time at around 12:30. I was so excited I could hardly stand it!
Article continues below


We saw a TON of people waiting to check in. But we had a Category 11 room, so we got Skipper's Club treatment--meaning you get to walk past everyone in line, practically straight onto the ship. It took us about 15 minutes to board, while it took others an hour and a half or more!

I walked around the ship for awhile, but I already knew how to get around since I had been on the Carnival Destiny, which has the same layout as the Triumph. After an hour, I got really bored, and worried that I wouldn't meet anyone for the rest of the cruise! I found my parents and ended up eating and going on a spa tour with them. After that, we proceeded to the lifeboat drill.

After the drill, I went up onto the Lido Deck with my parents to watch the ship sail away from Miami. The Imagination and Explorer of the Seas were also leaving at the same time.

As we were waving goodbye to Miami, I saw two girls, Victoria and Diane, whom I had talked to on the bus ride to the pier. They came over with their parents to where I was standing, and I started talking to them. I found out that they only live about 20 minutes away from me! Once we got out to sea, I ended up walking around with them.

We explored the ship for awhile, and as we were cutting through the South Beach Club Buffet, we saw three guys, so we walked over and started talking to them. Their names were Dusty, Micah, and Eric. All of a sudden, I was feeling a lot better about the cruise - I met five people in less than two hours!

Our first dinner was coming up, and I got my luggage just in time to change into a nice outfit. My luck was still holding: Sitting at our table were three other teenagers--Rachel, Adam, and Scott. They all turned out to be really cool, and I was glad that I got such a good table.

After dinner, I went to the disco with the people I had met earlier in the day. There were so many teenagers there--it was great!

At 11 p.m., we left the disco and went to the hot tubs, where we stayed until they were completely drained. After that, myself, four other girls and the three guys went down to the guys' cabin and just talked and hung out. I went back to my cabin around 1 a.m.

DAY 2

I got up and laid out in the sun for 2-1/2 hours with my parents. Then I met up with Victoria and Diane, and we found the three guys.

We all went down the waterslide, swam, and got some lunch. I went off with the girls for a while. We got milkshakes from the Cafe, and they were great! We were addicted the second we started drinking them, so we got at least one or two every day after that! On the elevators, we met a really cute guy named Brandon. He was on his way to formal dinner in his suit, and we were just chillin' in our bathing suits, so we felt very under-dressed!

That night, there was a teen disco hour on the Lido Deck stage. There weren't

many people dancing. I am not the greatest dancer, so I didn't join in. I went with Diane to talk to a guy we saw, named Tom. Diane had a thing for him for a little while! We walked around and ran into Brandon on deck. He talked to us, even though we didn't think he would after seeing us looking all nasty in the elevator! After that, I went to the Midnight Comedian with Victoria, Diane, and Tom. It was hilarious, but definitely not for little kids! Again, I turned in around 1 a.m.

DAY 3

Snorkel Girls

We're in Cozumel, Mexico! We went on the Nassau Sun boat, and Victoria and Diane ended up being on our same tour.

We snorkeled off the boat for awhile, and I laughed to think how at that very moment, all my friends were in school taking their final exams! Our school ran really late this year.

We got back on the boat and headed to the beach. As we were going, waiters kept coming up to us girls and asking "Would you like a beer, or a margarita?" It was pretty funny, since our parents were standing there, giving us the "Take it and you're dead" look.

We got to the private beach, and there were rafts, volleyball nets, tables and umbrellas, and a really cute little bar/hut all set up.

Cozumel Beach

The beach was absolutely gorgeous! We ended up playing volleyball with a bunch of people, and some of them were really cute guys! It was fun, except for the fact that I'm terrible at volleyball! By the end of the game, I was just standing around. Everyone knew that if the ball came near me I wouldn't hit it, so whoever was next to me took over!

It was time to head back, so we got back onto the Nassau Sun. The ride back to port was a lot more fun than the ride out: Music was playing and we were dancing all over the decks. A conga line started, and when we did the Macarena, a woman we didn't even know came over and took our picture!

Carlos 'n Charlie's

My parents and Victoria and Diane's parents got along really well, so we ended up getting cleaned up and going into Cozumel with them. We ate lunch at Carlos 'n Charlie's, which was very interesting--It was only 3:00 in the afternoon, and there were already people dancing on the tables. The waiters loved us.

After we finished our lunches, a waiter came over and said I had to come dance with him. I said I wouldn't unless Diane came, so he had another waiter dance with her! Victoria thought she was safe, but she was wrong--a third waiter grabbed her, and he was doing some pretty freaky dance moves! It was hilarious.

Afterwards, we shopped around Cozumel for a while and went back to the ship around 6 p.m. It was so hot we couldn't stand to walk around any more! When we got back on the ship, it was practically empty, and there were no activities going on. So we ended up going into the Rome Lounge and dancing around on stage, since a guy was in the booth working on his light set. That got old really fast, though. We were sitting in the seats and I was so bored I took a picture of our feet!

Crafton, Lauren, Diane, and Tom

The three of us walked around the ship and did absolutely nothing until about 11:30 p.m., when everyone had to be back on board. We went to the disco for a little while, but I didn't really want to dance. Diane and I and a couple of the guys--Crafton and Tom--ended up going to the Lido Deck at the very back of the ship and just talking for a couple of hours.

DAY 4

This was our second day at sea. I slept in kinda late, and got breakfast/lunch with Victoria and Diane. They had to meet their parents, so I went up on deck and laid out with Brandon. Victoria and Diane came up later and we all laid out in the sun some more. (Why didn't I get tan? That's what I'm wondering!) We decided to get something to drink and we ran into all the guys we had played volleyball with in Cozumel.

We talked to them for a bit, and then went to watch the Marriage Show. It was really cute--the guys had to go up on stage and sing love songs to their wives. The three of us went to get milkshakes, and then it was time for dinner.

The Past Carnival Cruisers party was that night, so I had to go with my parents. It was kinda boring, but the three guys we were hanging out with showed up there, so I talked to them until dinner. At dinner that night, we had our first conga line of the week! Of course, I had to join in on the fun.

Answer :
When I was that age, I found them to be cool. I mean I went the first few nights, met some people, and then every night we would all meet in there, instead of trying to gather everyone up around a certain place, so we all just hung out around the ship and did our own thing. Mostly we just got to know each other, and we did some fun things. Some of the people in the group ended up hanging out by themselves and hooking up by the end of the cruise... It was really fun, but after a while they can be lame, but they usually try to stay up to date with what the teens like to do and what not.






Answer :
For one you need to be careful as a lot of stuff can happen on a cruise and they companys that run the cruise ships usually try to cover it up. If by with him you mean sex then no especially with someone you just meet. You should just be yourself and be careful.

Cruise LA to Mexico?

Has anyone travelled on Vision of the Sea to Mexico. Is it worth it?






Answer :
We cruised out of LA to the Mexico ports of Cabo, Puerto Valarta, and Acapulco a couple years ago. It was a good cruise weather wise even though they had to cancel one port stop because of a hurricane threat. I liked the stop in Cabo best, didn't care for the other two. I think the beaches on the Caribbean side of Mexico are much better than the Pacific side.

WE went on an NCL ship and the cruise was nice.






Answer :
i been on that cruise last year i love it . people were very nice there and i love stops we did and the entertained to . it was the best cruise. i was name gust staff on there. it was great the food and stuff to do






Answer :
I did a week long cruise for my honeymoon. I liked it a lot. But then again, this was my first cruise too. But I think if my husband and I go again were going to go with all of our friends. Spending the time alone was great but we both agree that a cruise would be great with all of our friends.






Answer :
I've heard such good things that I'm booked on her for 10/28/07 Halloween cruise!

A few thoughts:
The Vision has been recently refurbished.
(Year Built 1998
Refurbished 2000
Refurbished 2003)
The price is really good.
The ocean is colder and choppier than the Caribbean (re: swimming)

Have fun!

Is there alot of teens hooking up at teens club on cruises?

im going on royal caribbean vision of the seas in about 2 weeks and im going to go to the teen club. im wondering if some guy asks me to be his gf, should i? also is it easy to meet kids near my age? im 14. im so excited for this trip! people say just go for it and it would be alot of fun. i think i will, but whats your opinion?
also is anybody else going on the ship as me on july 27? if you are maybe we can hang out and meet each other at the teen club.

thanks alot






Answer :
Hey.
Im 19 & I find that the teen clubs arent too popular. Its more like you just randomly meet people around the ship.

I was on two cruises. One last year.. I went on spring break to the bahamas and there were TONS of kids. I had random guys talking to me and one father of some kid was trying to hook me up with his son. BUT then I went to puerto rico early may and there were NO kids.

;] luckily for you though, your going in the summer so they'llbe plenty of kids and you'll have an amazing time. Idk about being a guys gf though, you'll never see them again and then its just a hookup and thats not really a good idea. But its up to you. Just be safe and enjoy your trip <33

Any other questions, let me know.






Answer :
holy crap u know whats so weird im 14 too and im going on a cruise in like a week and i was wondering the same stuff i swear!! i like just asked question about this too! omg omg haha. i want to go to the teen club and meet some ppl to hang with and a guy too! haha but it might be akward if i just walk into the teen lounge place all by myself lol. u can email me if u want! i think thats so cool how we were wonderin he same thing lol!
