i cant say anything about being an only child on this cruise because last year i went with my mom, my sister, and my best friend and her family so i allways had someone to be with. It was a group of 8 on that cruise. And then the one i am going on this summer is Me, my mom dad, grandma, 3 brothers, 1 sister, and 2 of my best friends.
The best part of the cruise was deffinetly Common Grounds, the teen room. One the first night the counselors give you this little run down of rules and whats going on that week, so dont miss that. The first night is also a REALLY good night to meet people, there were soo many different groups to choose from! the dances are great.. i especially love the Junkanoo Jam. It is where the teens leave the cruise ship and get on this dance boat that goes aroung whatever island you were at. It is great because this means no mom/dad will see you! i loved it! The teen beach is alo a must! the games are soo much fun, also it is a great time to get tan! lemme tell you haha!
The only thing that may matter to you is age. Last year i was 15, and i hung out with alot of 15,16,17 yr olds. Because i have a younger brother (14) who bugs me soo much, i didn't hang out with any younger kids. I also noticed that the 13/14 yr olds would sort of be scared of the older kids. But maybe that was just on our ship! But you will find a group of people to hang out with dont worry!
I cant really say anything about the plays because i didn't go to any of them! i spent all my time in common grounds! The last night of the cruise was the best. We just hung out with everyone, exchanging addresses and screen names and we tried to watch the sun rise.. but we got to tired and went to bed at like 4 am! you will have alot of fun, if you want/need anymore information (if that is possible lol after this long essay i wrote) just PM me ok? bye!
