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.

All 3 are fine. They are older ships (not old, but just older) that don't have all the bells & whistles. But on none of the lines will your 1.5yo be able to be in the kids' program or be in the pools or hot tubs.

The thing about NCL is that all the dining is when you want and formal s 100% optional. I don't know about less fancy. Personally, I much prefer NCL over Carnival, but that is personal taste.

Personally, I would chose the one the adults would like the most. Your children should be able to have fun on any of these ships.

All three would be fine. Did your kids enjoy the your program on the other Carnival Cruise? For me, my past three cruises have all been on Carnival because we have sailed with our kids, now 10 and 12. They thoroughly enjoyed the Youth program on the first cruise and my thought is "if it worked well the first time, stick with it" and "if it ain't broke...".

RCI for sure would be the best. We sailed on Voyager with around 600 children onboard and never ever saw them. JK
