Anyone Prefer 3-4 Day over 7 day?

Just wondering if I had an off trip or something. Last year we went on the seven day cruise and I was all excited. DD had loved the kids clubs when she was 4-5, and she kept asking to go back. She didn't like it as well in the Oceaneer's Lab and kept asking to stay in the cabin - she doesn't like sports that much and there was a lot of that and less "girly" stuff to do. Guess she is in that tween stage... I got sick near the end of the trip - really sick when I got home- not Norwalk or anything like that. I wasn't a happy camper when we left the ship. Maybe we had an off time, or maybe cruising isn't for us after all? I really loved the shorter cruises and wondered if anyone else feels that way? Any suggestions for tweens if we give it another try?

I really don`t know that I would be able to keep THAT busy on a 7 day cruise...

I thought the 4 day one was just perfect for me...I can`t sit still for very long and I need to find something t do and quickly....

When i went it was just DH and me, I know my kids are not the club types so if I ever plan to save and give it another ty, it willbe another 4 day one.

I think that is the way I'm going to go. We really miss going on the cruise, but on the 7 day we were really restless. We aren't sun worshippers and found sitting around really boring. I did a couple spa treatments, but I dunno. I'm with you, back to the 4 day!

My family and I (DH 34, DW 32, DD 5, DS 2) have done the seven day, four day and the three day. We really enjoyed all of the intineraries. We even have a fourteen day planned in August. I have found that the kids were very worn out by the end of the seven day and started to get grumpy. Still Had a wonderful time. So needless to say, for us, the more the better. Plenty of things to do.
