"Our teen has a great time.  She found 2 other kids to hang out with when she wasn't with us on the last few cruises. They just toured the ship and did what kids do.  I think it can help that all the kids are removed from their social structure and pecking orders that they are used to.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tWe always say the internet on the ship is to expensive so we won't buy it for her but we really do it to unplug her from social media a couple times a year.  \n \n\n\n\tIts always funny to see the flurry of texts and other social media posts flying off her phone during sailaway before we are too far offshore for a connection.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tIt might seem cold hearted but it does her good to disconnect from her routine same as us and she has never had a cruise she didn't like.  Plus I maintain an email address that is attached to her cruise line accounts so she has all the loyalty points from the various cruise lines.  In the future she can take all that over if she ever wants to Cruise on her own when she is older.\n "
