Hello, we are currently booked on the Joy for a week during spring break.  We have 4 kids traveling with us ages 9,10,13,16.  I am really thinking of switching to the Escape for the same time period.  Things I am worried about Joy is the pool situation seems small and crowded.  While go karts sound fun, at $15 a person a race, that is a one and done kinda of thing and that track takes away a lot of deck space.  My son would miss the sport court.  Is there enough to keep the kids busy on sea days that isn't going to cost me a ton of money??  

For the itinerary is Harvest Caye better than Great Stirrup Cay? is the beverage package available for use on either? Is Miami or Orlando better to sail out of? 

My family of 5 is currently booked in the family inside suite on the Joy, we could save some money by switching to two balcony on the Escape. 

Any advice on which ship you would pick would be appreciated. 

Thanks

Thanks for the answer!

How does the paying work at paradise beach? Is it a tab that accumulates for the day or do you have to pay for each item purchased? Trying to decide between this and an all inclusive don’t want the hassle of paying for every little thing.
