Zane is a 13-year-old boy from Connecticut who has grown up loving everything Nickelodeon. As Zane came into his pre-teen and now teenage years, his interests and hobbies have matured with him, but there has always been a kid inside that still loves Spongebob Squarepants and funny cartoons like that.
 

Zane has had to bare the hardships of a life-threatening medical condition that replaced so much of his youth with doctor’s visits, hospital stays, and medical treatments. For Zane, getting a good laugh out of an old classic Television show could bring back happy memories and help him to forget about the struggles he faced on a day-to-day basis.
 

When Zane was asked what his one true wish would be, he decided that a Nickelodeon Cruise through tropical waters and to exotic islands would be the perfect combination of a paradise vacation, and a chance to goof off and just be a kid! From on-deck pools and water slides, to breathtaking buffets to exotic islands and beautiful ocean life, the cruise gave Zane a sense of freedom and joy he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
 

“It was exactly what Zane needed,” said Zane’s mom. “We had a fabulous time and the staff gave us VIP treatment that added to an already great trip. Zane actually ate more food on the cruise than he has eaten in years, and it was so nice to see him enjoying himself again and just being a kid.”
 

For Zane, this dream cruise closed a difficult chapter in his life and opened up a brand new one, filled with adventure and fun, and of course a thousand memories to last a lifetime.
