Disney Cruise for teens boring?

[KashasMom]

For us, it would depend on which ship on Royal vs. Disney. Disney has the leg up on the older, smaller Royal ships for sure. However, the larger, newer ships? It is probably more personal preference. It has been a long time since my kids have been on a Disney cruise and we haven't been on a cruise in awhile in general but we are currently have a cruise on Royal in the spring and a Disney cruise with our extended family (shooting for early 2021) so I have been looking into both. I know there are quite a few things my kids, especially the older two are really looking forward to on the RCCL cruise (iFly, the escape room and bumper cars are a few that are mentioned frequently) and my foodie daughter can join us for the specialty restaurants which is a big deal for her. They really don't have anything they are looking forward to the same way on DCL (except cousins!) but I am sure they will still have an amazing trip.

I loved that part! My daughter (8) and I cruised alone on the Allure and we had a great time going to the specialty restaurants (and best cruise food ever!). We also love that they had a dinner buffet for the couple of nights we were worn out from excursions to go to a dining room.

We just came the Fantasy for the second time in 6 years. My girls are almost 17&18 and they were kind of bored in the Vibe. They said the organized activities and games were kind of lame and smoothie hour wasn’t good. They did enjoy chill time, Aquaduck, mini golf , MDA and Chill Spa but they spent most of their time just wandering the ship. They are ready for the adult area except alcohol.

What do they plan on doing in the adult area? There's not much going on.
