Which cruise would you take with children?

Hi

Im hoping I can get some input on which cruise you would suggest with children ranging from 1 1/2 to 16 1/2 .
We have sail Carnival before (Inspiration and Imagination) so we know the Sensation is a lot alike.

Priceline told me the Norwegian is the most laid back and even less fancy than the Carnival as far as "fun" goes.

Which one would you choose if the children are looking for onboard fun.

Norwegian Sky
Carnival Sensation
Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the Seas

This is also in order from cheapest to most exp.

Enchantment. Sailed Carnival once, never again. No experience with NCL, but when I price out cruises with them in staterooms that are not tiny, they come out to the same price as RCCL or other cruiselines I'm interested in.

I have 4 boys ages 6,6,8,10. We have cruised with them on several Carnival, one NCL and in April we will try RCL Allure of the Seas. I would have to say that the kids enjoyed all of them but they all told me they preferred Carnival over NCL. Our teenage nephews went with us on NCL and had an enjoyable time

We did sensation. I wouldn't even consider Sensation again. Ever.

So that leaves Sky and Enchantment. I haven't been on Sky - been on two other NCl's - but one of my good cruising friends uses the Sky as her weekend getaway almost every month. She loves Sky.

I can imagine that Enchantment is a good deal more than Sky. I REALLY love the Enchantment. It has a fantastic crew. It has an adult only solarium so you can step away from the kids for a little while. One of the pools is fresh water. I am sad to see it leave Baltimore because I would jump on it again - for a third time

But my girls love Enchantment.
