Enchantment with young children

[2910car]

We are going on a family cruise in June with us (grandparents) our children and their spouses and 6 grandchildren ages 2-7. We are trying to decide between 4 night NCL Sky and and 5 night RCCL Enchantment of the Seas. I will post this same question on NCL board. I really could use some opinions from anyone who has sailed on eithr ship with young children. Thank you.

Well, 5 nights is always better than 4 nights. ;):D

 

On one hand, I think Adventure Ocean is a better children's program than NCL Kid Crew. And the Enchantment has an infant splash area for non-potty trained tots. So if the 2 year old isn't potty trained then he/she can still go into the splash pool.

 

On the flip side, NCL Kids Crew starts at 2 and does accept kids in diapers (the parents will be paged when the diaper needs to be changed).

 

Overall though, the service is better on Royal Caribbean.

E O S was our first cruise W/DS he was 3. Easy to get around and he/we loved the stops.Never done NCL so I can;t compare. RCI was a great 1st time.

Enchantment was our first cruise with DD last July when she was 5 1/2.

 

We loved it. The kids club was great. When she was a little sad because her friends left late-night babysitting earlier than expected they just paged us and we came to get her. She was torn on formal night between wanting to dress like a princess and wanting to do kids club activities. We worked it out so she could do everything. Really can't say enough good things about the ship and her crew.:)

 

FYI, my daughter is an only child who is extremely attached to her parents yet she was more than happy to ditch us for Adventure Ocean.
