Dream or Wonder for 13year old boy-1st cruise

[firstwdw]

Same itinerary (4night out of Port Canaveral)
same cabin type
same time of year
very similar in price with Dream being a few hundred more total
-most likely will not attend tween/teen clubs
most likely will be the only cruise we take-we will do Disney parks for a few days prior

The mid ship detective agency and the aqua duck rides may sway him more than the Wonder. Also, the rooms have on demand movies. Plus there is the sports simulator as well. Not sure if the stage shows matter to him or not as there are different ones.

It is always recommended kids go the meet and greet at the kids clubs the first night to see what it is like and meet some other youth.

For that age, I would definitely go with the Dream. More to do than on the Wonder.
Have fun!

We were on a Wonder cruise in January and there was a 10 year old boy at our table and he was completely bored with the cruise. All he wanted to do was play video games and some sport he wasn't able to play on the ship. I'm pretty sure a cruise just wasn't for him and his attitude, but maybe he would have enjoyed the Dream more.

My son was 11 on our first cruise, (Dream), and at 18 still loves cruising. We’ve been on all 4 ships and his ranking from favorite to least favorite is Fantasy, Dream, Magic and Wonder. I’d definitely go with the Dream. BTW, he never goes to the clubs.
