Ok... I Know that I am takeing my Family on a Cruise in Dec 2005 and I am 99% sure I want to do the southern route. My kids will be 9 and 6 when we go. I will be taking them and my mother none of them have ever cruised before. But I have. So they are up for anything. And are so excited about going.
Ok now which Ship class is nicer or has more things to do? Does all of the Grand Class have mini-golf on them? I know that the Adventure will be doing Southern next Dec but I am not sure which ship in the grand class will be doing the Southern in Dec 2005. Right now I do think it is the Golden.
How are the kids areas on both class ships? What about the kids menu's?
Ok now for the itinerary's the one we like for Princess is the Southern Explorer which is as follows St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Grenanda, Caracas and Aruba with one day at sea. The RCL itinerary we like is Aurba, Curacao, St. Maarten and St. Thomas with 2 days at sea. Can some one tell me which itinerary is nicer, more to do with kids , ect....
I have never been on Princess or RCL as of yet. ( I am booked on the Radiance this Dec with my Boyfriend). ( I have cruised on CCL before) Which is better prices and larger cabins. I am looking at either an inside or maybe a room with a window but on this cruise I need o go kind of cheap cabin wise to payfor it all.
Thanks For all your help!!!!!!

How many in a cabin, 4 in one cabin. Do you want connecting cabins? This will influence which one.

well with the kids only being 6 and 9 .. I will have them in the same cabin with me. I don't think they are old enough to be in a cabin alone yet.

We just got back from the CP with our 7 and 9 year-old boys. When we booked, there were no quads available. As a result, we booked 2 adjoining cabins.

It wasn't that much more expensive and the extra space and bathroom were worth every penny. We had a $100 coupon per cabin from DinaMate and we got a $150 per cabin discount and $50 per cabin room credit from American Express. With those, it was only $200 more to have 2 balcony cabins as opposed to 1.You should at least look at the price difference to see if it is worth it to you.

We didn't feel like the kids should have a cabin to themselves either. So I took 1 kid and my wife took the other. We had the room steward unlock the balcony partition so that we could go from room to room without going into the hall.

I peeked into an inside quad as we were leaving the ship. I can't imagine being crammed in there for a week with the 4 of us. We would have killed each other before the week was over.
