asked:
If it helps to know, i like a LOTS of activities. I don’t like to just sit there and relax, i need to keep moving. I would like to go either to Alaska or the Caribbean area.
I’m graduating from high school and i really want to go on a cruise. Which one is the best out there?

Well, most cruises require someone over 21 to go with you.. depending on the cruise line. But, if your still interested, there are a couple ones you could possibly try…
Carnival - they are like the party ships. there is always something to do, and they have some pretty nice destinations. try looking at their website
( )
Princess - a fancier cruise experience.. still lots of things to do but not as relaxed as carnival.. try looking them up on google for more information
Norwegian - freestyle cruising, which basically means there is no set schedule once you are on board the ship (apart from docking and stuff) .. big ships, with nice accommodations…
i hope this helps a bit.

Carnival Cruise definitely.
There is so many activities on the Carnival. There is always something going on at some part of the ship.
I would recommend going to the Caribbean area with Carnival. Alaska might be boring.
If you want more details, go to

Well, for Caribbean, I would choose carnival Cruise Line:
And for Alaska I would choose Norwegian Cruise Line:
NCL, I would choose for both, because they are my all-time favorite. I truly think they are the best in the industry. They really do try tpo please everyone.

Unless you are still in high school at age 21 you are out of luck. You need to be 21 or have someone in your party or an adjoining cabin traveling with you who is over 21. Those under 21 are not allowed on the ship without their parents.
And before you try to fake an id, let me save you some time, energy and heartbreak. You either need a passport or your birth certificate as proof of your age and identity to even get on the ship. Once aboard the ship your picture is taken and you are issued a cabin key card which is used for everything that you do. From ordering drinks (even sodas) to buying things at the shoppes.
If you want to go on vacation, just fly there and wait until you are 21 or have someone who is willing to go along and take responsibility for you. Sucks I know but those are the rules and they are sticking to them.
Don’t be fooled by people who say that you can get in because you can’t.

I TOTALLY agree with Palmraf .
Faking an ID for a big trip is a serious offense…more so than just going to the store for alcohol or to a local bar.
If you find someone over 21 to go with you, Carnival or Disney would be your best bet.

I have been to all cruises. All cruise lines are great but Royal Caribbean is really great! They have very nice staff members and when I dine, a waiter said greeted me and after I eat my entrees and dessert, then I asked the waiter this” What i your life in a cruise” and the waiter said thing about what to do in a cruise and tell about his job. It was very nice.When I was done eating , I went to the Flow-rider. The Flow-rider is super fun. Its like you are in the beach surfing. I went to rock climbing and its fun.. You should go to Royal Caribeban it has fun activities to do and u never ever get bored in Royal Caribeban.More awesome than other cruiseline

Like the others said, assuming you are 18, you have to have someone over 21 to go with you. If you like Carnival you need someone 25 to go with you. If you are 17 like I was when I graduated high school it’s even stricter.
That being said my recommendation is Carnival. It has a lot of young people on it and a lot of active shore excursions. Many of their excursions are hiking, kayaking, snorkeling–whereas some of the cruise lines that cater to older people do not offer that.
I’d avoid NCL and Holland. They cater to an older clientele and will not have many people your age. Holland is known for having the best Alaskan cruise but…it may be off-putting for you as the majority of people on the ship are over 60. NCL is just a horrible cruise. Many people on here did it once and vowed never to do it again. I personally think it’s the worst ever. However both Carnival and Royal Caribbean will be less expensive and will have more people in your age group on board. Plus they both offer many active shore excursions.
Disney is a nice line but you will have a lot of children on there and the characters may be GREAT fun for you or you may find it juvenile. Other lines like Princess and Celebrity are a great deal more expensive though wonderful lines.
I recommend going to the Caribbean instead of Alaska. It will be cheaper and warmer. Alaska is beautiful but Alaskan cruises will have more older people on your ship as it is more expensive. The Caribbean has so many islands. I think I would search for cruises that are within your budget first off, then which one has an itinerary you are interested in. Decide your line last based on those facts. To me the itinerary is the most important thing. I’ve been to several islands now so I want to go to new and different ports of calls.
Carnival or Royal Caribbean are the best choices. They will have a young crowd. Carnival is a little more of a party ship but they are both great choices.
Cruises are a wonderful vacation and you will have a great time!
