Parents need to know that this series is a spinoff of the original series The suite life of zack and cody.While pionted at kids/tweens,there is some iffy stuff in some episodes.In one episode..a guy tells a girl who lost her memory that "tonight was the night you were finally going to let me.."(an adult interrupts)It is not sure if he was going to say something sex related. Also,the guy has a different girlfriend/intrest every episode which might be a bad example fr children exspecially 10-12 yr.olds.Also...barely any adults diciplin kids for what they do..in one episode a teacher purpously lets some kids beat up a boy.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Suite Life on Deck
Parents need to know that, like its popular parent series The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, this show is filled with content that's bound to entertain tweens but might leave parents rolling their eyes. The largely unsupervised teen characters engage in lots of mischief, discipline is virtually nonexistent, and no problem arises that can't be solved by the time the credits roll. One of the twins is pretty flirty and makes mildly suggestive comments, while another main character constantly gloats over her family's wealth and uses money and expensive gifts to control her peers -- her manipulations are played for laughs, of course, but they're still grating. Tween fans may need to be reminded that little of what they're seeing is relatable to most people's reality.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how real life differs from Zack and Cody's world. How is their lifestyle like a fantasy? Do they ever seem affected by anything serious -- like money, illness, or family struggles?
- Kids: Do you ever worry about those things? Is there any part of Zack and Cody's life that you can relate to?
- Tweens: Do you think you'd enjoy living in another country? If so, where would you go?

one of the worst shows I have ever seen
This show is appropriate for practically anyone. But it's just garbage. Just squeaky clean stuff. It's appropriate for your child, But she or he deserves better than this.

Brilliant
It is brilliant. It has two cool mischievous twins that play around on a cruise liner.The only negative thing is is shows a bad message, teaching people to spend their money instead of save it, which is what London does.
