which line had a better kids club - RC or NCL?

It's an either/or thing...all of the bigger ships will have PLENTy for everyone! I would choose by price, size of cabin (or cabins!!! with 5, you might need 2 cabins!) and ports.

The lady at NCL told me the new ship BLISS has ocean view rooms that for 5 Whoohoo! Cruise line cabins are def not made for family of five! Haha

Luckily we will probably be traveling with my parents so I will prob just book my youngest on paper with my parents

How are the kids’ clubs!?

On the Disney cruise - my kids didn’t want to leave and I kind of liked them open until midnight - so they could go there after dinner and my husband and I could enjoy a drink or two. I hear the NCL is only open until 10 - (not sure about RC) which doesn’t leave a lot of time if you have an 8pm dinner!

So I have been on a number of cruises with my family as a kid and with my husband as an adult.

Now as a mom of 3 (10 and under) we have only been on a Disney cruise with them.

We are ready for another. We are looking at Royal carribean or NCL.

Which one is better for kids. We were spoiled with the Disney cruise. Looking to have all the bells and whistles that will blow out family away!

Thanks

I went on a bunch of Royal Caribbean cruises as a child. But last year I went on Empress of the Seas and I have to admit I was a little underwhelmed. It was not how I remember RC from many years ago (I forget which ones I went on)

BUT I just booked on Mariner for this summer and I am hoping to be "wowed" again! Is there a big difference from Empress to Mariner?!?!

Please and Thank you

It differs from departure to departure. I have two cruises booked. One is on sale, the other is not.

Ok - thank you - I was worried I was not going to the right place to look! Still going to hold out for some sort of sale - crossing my fingers!

I can’t just book the package I am going with 6 of my girlfriends - don’t want to have to deal with all that buying/refunding/buying! Rather just do it once!

Thanks again!

She means ignore whatever RC says is the "percentage off" sale, just look at the bottom line.

Thank you

Summary: Description of the discount DOES NOT MATTER. It does not matter what RC says, only what it does.

 

What is the cost? If you like it, book it. If it goes down, cancel and rebook.

 

It really couldn't be any simpler.

 

And it's never too soon to start looking.

I am sorry I don’t understand this reply!

It’s 30% off right now on some cruises. The sale ends Jan 8. Cheers!

Where do you see that !? - I am still showing $50 a day!

Man I’m jealous - mine still shows $50 per person per day!

*deluxe (sorry i can’t edit the title)

I was wondering if the deluxe drink package ever goes on sale. I have 7 months before my cruise - so I have time - so I don’t want to book it just yet if by chance it goes down a little.

Thanks everyone!

I was told that as a Florida resident, i can walk up to a port and get last minute rate to hop on a cruise if there is availability. is this true? if so, how does that work?!

thanks

and which lines give the best florida resident deals?!?
