Thank You.  My husband calls me Mrs. Claus because 1) I get SO much joy out of giving gifts that people will like and 2) I do like to surprise people.  She's mainly a stay at home mom who works a part-time job & her husband or mom will watch the kids.  They have taken their kids on vacations before but just to one of those indoor water parks for 2 days.  I'll talk to her husband & ask him to keep this quiet.  So good point.  

I'm trying to find a cruise line/ship to possibly surprise my step-daughter & her family.  So it's 2 adults and their 4 kids.  Ages of kids, 9 (boy), 7 (girl), 5 (girl), 2 (girl).  Would LOVE to do Disney but it is just WAY too expensive.  What is the best cruise line for kids to do things?  My husband & I have cruises Carnival and Celebrity before but it looks like Royal Caribbean has a good program.  

Looking forward to seeing what you all have to say.  Thanks!

good point.  thank you!

Am thinking of surprising my husband's daughter & her family (a total of 6 people-4 kids) as a Christmas present.  Are kids cruise free on Disney as other cruise ships do?

The pluses: You have a full view and don't have to worry about getting salt water in your mouth with a full face mask.The minus: You do get warm as there is really no fresh air so if you're the least little bit claustrophobic, as I am, this may pose a problem. I had to abandon the full face which was a bummer because I was really excited about using it.

First time cruising on a Celebrity ship and first time cruising to Alaska.

I was given the following to do in each stop.

Ketchican-Misty Fjords

Juneau-Mendenhall Glacier

Skagway-Train

I have a question though. There are so many options to do at the Mendenhall glacier. Can anyone suggest which one would be the best?
