Looking at taking a family cruise and am overwhelmed trying to narrow down and settle on a cruise line. We are a family of 2 adults, then kids- 17,10, 8, 7, infant. Obviously by the time we cruise it will be 3 adults, 4 kids. From what I have read that means more than likely we will have to book two rooms, if not three just to have enough space. Would really like rooms with a port hole as the younger kids go to bed on the early side and wake up early (between 6&7).
We never have cruised before and even vacations have been slim so we are open to anything but also not sure how everyone will handle a cruise, if it will be enjoyable or not. Mainly are looking at the Caribbean or Bahamas, although Alaskan cruises are appealing too.
The 10 year old is moderately neuro diverse, the 7 year old is mildly, so crowds can definitely be overstimulating at times. However they also get bored easily so I want to make sure there is plenty to do on board the ship. I talked to a travel agent but since we are still so up in the air about what we wanted was told to solidify our wants and settle on a cruise line and itinerary before contacting them again. Please give me any suggestions and tips on cruise lines to consider as well as how to most easily book rooms for our family.
Thanks
