Best ship/iten 4 or 5 night in Caribbean

I'm looking for a good 4 or 5 night Caribbean cruise. My husband and I will be taking along a group of about 10-12 friends, all first timers except us.

Based on Travelocity, the following ships are running 4-5 nights

Carnival

-Fantasy

-Fascination

-Imagination

RCCL

-Majesty

-Soverign

-Empress

-Enchantment

Disney

-Wonder

Celebrity

-Zenith

We could go either Western Caribbean or Bahamas, no preference really.

Which ships are best? We are mid 30's and can amuse ourselves for the most part. Prioities are good food, clean ship, good service, and not-too-crowded feeling (able to find places for our large group to gather)

I've been on Carnival Tropicale (big dud!) on a 5 night, and then NCL Sun and RCI AOS. Loved the latter 2.

ANy one of the tops ones you mentions are good ships- Now narrow it down to where you want to go. Then narrow it further by the port it sails from- Looking at airfare. Then start narrowing it to the price pp. From looking aat cruises in the past the Disney and Celebrity ones are the most expensive.

The carnival and the Royal ships you mentioned are older smaller ships- they serve their purpose.

OK, I've narrowed it to the following 4.

Inspiration-Miami

Zenith - Miami

Enchantment - Ft. Lauderdale

Empress - Ft. Lauderdale

Empress might be too small for us. I realize almost all the shorter cruisers are on older ships -- no getting away from it. Enchantment is the newest of the bunch (1997).

All of these are Western Caribbean boats, which is fine. I prefer to pick the best ship, ports don't matter much as long as the weather is good.

scroll down the left side of the screen and look at the stuff for each ship. There are pictures/reviews/ daily activity papers/ menus. etc etc- I see you will be busy over the holiday.

personally- I would lean towards the Inspiration and the Enchantment.
