DCL with teens

Before booking our recent cruise, I did a lot of searching on what's available for teens and even as we were boarding I wasn't completely sure my oldest 2 (high school age) would have a good time. Both can be introverted and really don't enjoy going out of their way to talk to anyone. I showed them a video of Vibe (not impressed) and when I mentioned meeting people I got "the look" every time. However, by day 2, both made friends and spent the rest of the cruise hanging out in vibe, enjoying the activities, and not coming back to the stateroom until past 1 am. I just wanted to post this - hopefully - as encouragement to other parents with kids like mine :).

We were on the Fantasy, but honestly I think they would have a blast on any of the ships in the feet and both said they prefer to cruise in the future over visiting the parks.
