Cruising with Teens? Do This on Night One!
If you’re cruising with teens or kids, there is one cruise mistake to avoid that can ruin their entire social experience. According to my teenage daughter, night one is the most critical time for the cruise kids club. It’s exactly like the first day of school—everyone is new, everyone is looking for a buddy, and social groups haven't formed yet. If your teen waits until night two to join the NCL Splash Academy or teen lounge, the 'squads' have already solidified, making it much harder to break in.
