Never say never. I swore I wouldn't do another cruise other than DCL. However, some neighbor friends (who've never cruised before) inquired about all of us cruising together next spring break.
Without going into too much detail, I know they wouldn't be able to afford DCL. (Well, actually they would, but the airfare would be too much as there's four of them.) We're sailing out of Galveston. In a nutshell, Princess Grand is 200.00ish more per person than Carnival Pride for a similar Western itinerary and same size room/similar category. (185 sq. feet, compared to DCL's 214! I know. I've already sighed.)
My questions. Which of these two lines have the better programs for kids? (ages 9, 10 and 14.) Since it'll be spring break, I'm hoping there will be enough so they won't feel out of place. The Princess Grand was built in 1998, and I'm not sure of the age of the Pride. Which cruise did you like better any why? (Even if you didn't sail the exact ships, could you compare the two lines.)
I already know it won't be as great as DCL
, and I've already prepared myself. One thing that's keeping my spirits up is that our family alone will sail DCL 3 months later
(Hopefully, if summer 2005 dates are ever posted.
)
Thanks!
