We recently visited some friends that were on a Cruise in the Chesapeake Bay, Rock Hall, with 13 Boats. They were all from the Philadelphia or Camden NJ Area. We knew people from 5 boats but most of the kids didn't know or never met before. Most of the teens wound up on the Commander Cabin Roof, Chillin out.
My kids didn't want to go because they didn't know anyone and would be bored, we didn't see much of them from the time we hit the dock till bed time. They were either in the pool or Chillin with new friends.
Even with an Old Commander most of the Kids commented how they liked her style.
