I have to say that all the lines we&#39;ve been on have terrific teen programs. His favorite was Royal Caribbean. But in my opinion they all need to have more activities for the 18 - 20 year-olds. They&#39;re too old for the teen program but too young for the casino and bars, etc.<br /><br />A big HELLO to all and have a great Thursday&#33;<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><br />deb,<br /><br />Thank you for the tips&#33;  One of our trips was a short cruise on Royal Caribbean.  We are thinking, initially, that Carnival will be our choice, but it will depend on the deals and timing. <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wink2:" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> <br /><br />We will be looking at activities for the 17-20 year olds as our older two will be in that category by the time we set sail.<br /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br />I have heard from others that Carnival has a great kids program but when we sailed with them Evin was too old to participate. One thing many ships <i>do</i> have for the 18 - 20 year old group is the dance club or disco. You have to be 18 to enter. That&#39;s a great idea to use the cruise as incentive to do well in school - a kind of a win-win situation <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
