I would appreciate any info on Vibe. I hav Dd16 and ds 14. Really curious if there are many older teens like my daughter. Will she enjoy it?
I was 15 almost 16 when we went and I loved it! It was so much fun we did a fear factor (Girls v. Boys Girls won!) I did the Gross Grosser (me) and Grossest. We had to drink a smoothie made from random condiments and things you would put in drinks ^^ It was fun! We did the Zombified movie which was sooooo much fun haha. You get to try out to be a Snotty Popular girl (didnt get the part ): but I'll get it next time) there's smoothies and That's Hilarious was fun! We played a game where someone would go into another room and then they came back and the situation was "You were late for work" and the people would act out why you were late lol soooooo much fun xD You'll never be able to get your teens out of there.
BUT make sure that they go to the icebreaker the first night! I didn't and then I didn't know ANYONE so it was a little awkward trying to make friends.
This past Feb we sailed on the Dream to the Bahamas...DS was 14...he loved it! He made a lot of new friends and had a blast. They exchanged info and be-friended each other on FB...they even started a Vibe page.
All frozen drinks/specialty drinks are included while in the club...outside of the club we have to pay. There's snacks...and plain and simple they have good teen fun.
In Castaway Cay, they have their own private section with hammocks...secluded...it's almost a mystery where it is. He sign up for The Wild Side Teen Adventure while in Castaway Cay...they kept him from us almost the entire day...finally he spent the later part of the day with us....lol
One thing I heard from other parents is that their kids stayed out way too late. The club closes around 1AM-2AM...some of the kids continue to hang-out through out the ship. One parent mentioned her son didn't get back until 5AM and her and her husband were worried.
The way I see it, we are on vacation on a Disney Ship...IF I trust my son to go to sleep-away camps and travel with his team...I trust him on this ship. However, he didn't stay out until 5AM.
I think its important that our kids know what it's important to us and what we expect. But bottom line, we are on vacation...they work hard while in school as as we work hard.
I think they will love it!
This sounds *Exactly* like my 15.5 year old daughter's experience! She is so happy that she will be 17 and not too old on the next cruise. (She insists being a zombie is more fun.)I was 15 almost 16 when we went and I loved it! It was so much fun we did a fear factor (Girls v. Boys Girls won!) I did the Gross Grosser (me) and Grossest.

We just booked our first family cruise with DD18, DS14 & DS12 and I am also looking for info on Vibe. Someone on the cruise trip report boards just started a report that has some great pics of Vibe. Here is the link:

DD18 would be considered an adult and won't be able to go to VIBE. Only DS14 would be able to go...
