Family cruise with a teenager

If you hold out long enough you can go on Carnivals newest ship the Mardi Gras with a roller coaster!

Thanks all! I think I'm leaning toward RCI but the Carnival Vista looks cool, too! So many choices....

Try the Magic out of Miami then....

Cool for all ages, compare for yourself and let the fun take you to infinity and beyond! Laser tag, basket ball, the sky glide, and much much more are choices just to name a few.

Lots of choices for teens. I have my eye on the Carnival Vista out of Galveston with the new fan fare check it out and compare. Carnival Water Works is packed with wet ways to get-a-splashing, including Kalied-Slide which adds awesome light and color effects to the usual speed-n-splash racing. The fun can be endless.

Flo Riders they call them and they are very cool ... many also have the iFly .. which that too is a pretty cool thing.

The RCI mega ships have "wave riders". So if he surfs this should be where you look first, IMHO.

Thanks to all! My son surfs, plays soccer, runs track, is on the swim team and sleeps occasionally. All these ships seem to be great options. You all are the best!

I would suggest one of the Oasis Class ships by RCI, they are the largest with the most things to do.

I would agree that one of the new mega ships with mucho activities and entertainment on board would be the best choice and there are a number of those available out of FLA ports.
