LovingNC Posted February 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I'll be traveling with a 6yr old and 15 yr old. I'm not worried about my 6yr old, she makes friends and finds her fun no matter what. My son who is 15 normally makes tons of friends on our past Carnival Cruises. Is there a language barrier with the teens on MSC? I've heard there are many languages spoken. I'm looking for some insight on those who traveled with teens and what was their experience.

knitdiva Posted February 14, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Also interested in this. My son is 12, almost 13 so I would like to know more about the pre teen group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Reds4life Posted February 14, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Count me in as interested as well. 12 yr old daughter and 6 yr old daughter. 12 yr old will probably do some things with little sis but is pretty interested in the sports activities for older kids. I'd like to know more about the cooking and language classes too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bblasko Posted March 2, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Have a 12 (almost 13) year old son too. Seems like they have teen programs that might be too mature for him and the kiddie stuff seems too immature for him. Such an awkward age. Will he have fun?

LMCruise Posted March 3, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 3, 2017 What time of year? The biggest problem I saw for the pre-teens and teens last week was just the low number of them on board. This was a vacation week for our schools, but obviously not a vacation week for most. In the summer, I think you'd have a much better shot at them enjoying themselves. Language probably isn't going to be a huge barrier. The European teens I saw tended toward being well traveled, well educated, and somewhat affluent. Many (most?) will have a solid grasp of English. I spoke to a few Italian teens in the elevator and a few Danish teens at the ice cream bar. Their English was very, very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering what types of organized entertainment the staff has for kids in this range. Can't picture him sitting there and finger painting with the youngsters, nor can I picture him standing around a teen club slipping on a virgin Piña Colada. I know he'd be interested in the arcade and 4D theater, but would probably get bored after a couple hours of that. Plus they cost more and there's only so many quarters I'm willing to dish out!
