I am 14 and am wondering what is the best first thing to do when I get on my cruise.. its the Carnival Liberty

I've been on 5 cruises and the first thing I do is get lunch. The buffet is open and the food is really good so save your appetite. Also, walk all over the ship - it is so big, you'll want to get an idea of where all the different theaters, clubs and food places are located.

Sign up with the Cruises teen groups, where you can meet kids your age. You don't have to do all of the activities, but it's a good way to hook up. Wear your bathing suit under your clothes when you board. You will be able to swim even though you wont see your baggage till after you sail.

Definitely grab some lunch and then explore the ship! Bring a carryon bag with you with your bathing suit and essentials cause it may take a while to get your suitcase. There's some other really good tips about what to do before and right when you get on the cruise at this site called wehow.com.

omg girl you will have the time of you life!!!! i was 14 also. there is a teen club for teens ages 11-14. or there is one for teens ages 15-18. i spent time w/ both. they have activites all week long. you have to make sure you get info on that i went on a week cruise and didnt find out about it until the end of the week. they have dances, parties, sleepoves, and a whole bunch pf games to last all week. carnival has the best activities for "kids".. trust me you will have the itime of your life. i would do ANYTHING to go back on one i met a guy named keith from south america, and we are best friends to this day. and my cruise was sept. 2005 a whole yr and a half. we talk to eachother all the time on myspace, aol, and email.... have fun, be safe. =]

Sign up for the teen club and check out what activities will be happening. Then, get your parents to buy you a soda card... you can drink ALL you want and they do not have to be around to sign for your drinks!! If you and your parents haven't already done so, get a jump on planning your shore excursions! If you have time, go online to Carnival's website and sign up NOW!! The really fun ones sell out before the ship even leaves port. (Like horseback riding, etc.). You will have the BEST time! Make new friends onboard! Have fun!
