Other Cruise Lines?

[FunFamily]

What other cruise lines/ships departing from the US east coast can you recommend that would have enough to keep DD 5 and DS 2 happy?

Thanks in advance.

Without a doubt, RCCL Voyager class ships....particularly the new Mariner of the Seas , and Navigator of the Seas....

We will be trying RCCL's Voyager in October. But have been on Carnival Pride & Norwegian Dawn as well. Of the two Norwegian was much better for the kids. My son is 5 & my Daughter is 1. There is nothing for kids under 2. Your kids would both be in the same section of the kids club on NCL which is great, with a ball pit & large open play areas. There is also an excellent kids pool play area behind the club with two slides & a wading pool, very fun!! Ther is a separate section of the buffet that is "kid size" that my son just LOVED!! The itinerary is not SO bad. It is from NY to NY with stops in Port Canaveral (most go to Orlando for the day), Miami, Nassau & Great Stirrup Cay.

I have always heard that the Voyager class is the closest you will get to Disney without going Disney!! So we will be trying it next year.

Thanks for the info.

I have seen some good deals on NCL Dawn and appreciate the review of it. It there a cople of sites where the pros and cons of the NCL Dawn are discussed?

Thanks.

You can find out more about the Dawn at www.cruisecritic.com. Just go to the NCL forum. There are a number of reviews there as well as the usual Q&A stuff.

We're giving it a shot next year to see if saling out of NY makes a difference (since we don't have to fly).
