I'm a bit older (ie: 39) but if you are looking for fun and a party cruise I would certainly recommend Carnival.

I've been on 4 Carnival ships and there is no shortage of things to do and experience.

Late night piano bar is a lot of fun for anyone 20-55. My wife and I spent at least 3 late nights in there on our last cruise.

With 2000+ passengers on virtually any cruise, there is no shortage of people in any age group.

I would probably rate our last cruise as:
25% 21-30 years old
40% 30-45 year olds
20% 45-60 year olds
15% 60+ and children

Hope this helps

I'd also consider Royal Caribbean for tha age group, especially the "Voyager" class ships, lots to do onboard, including an amazing ice show.

Every year we cruise with a group of 22-50 people. I would recommend Carnival. They have always catered to our group needs, like seating us all together at dinner and reserving special rooms for us for meetings and arranging to have a group picture of us taken on formal night.

I'm gonna be 23 Thursday (the 19th) and 6 of my 7 cruises have been on Carnival. the other was on Royal Caribbean. I was only 17(almost 18) when I cruised on Royal Caribbean, so I was getting kicked out of the club every night because you had to be 18.... I Highly recommend Carnival, if you like to stay within your age group and if you like to do some partying and really fun stuff like that and just meeting tons of people in general. Royal Caribbean was "OK" but Carnival is much better for our age group and the atmosphere is more my style

. Now I'm not saying I wouldn't cruise on Royal Caribbean again. Because I probably would, but if I had the choice I would definitely choose Carnival.

Good Luck! and have fun!!

I say for the party scene go with Carnival.... if you would like a billion extra things to do then go with one of the big RC ships.
