Best 3 day cruise for baby & kids

[Ellaa]

We are taking a short family cruise with about 20 people- including several kids ages 15-1. I would personally prefer Disney because of the baby pool for my 1 year old but it is out of the price range of some family members.

 

Any recommendations on what ship would be best for everyone? It looks like our choice are: RC Majesty of the Sea, NCL Sky, or Carnival Sensation.

 

I've been on NCL Pride of America and RC Independence of the Seas and liked RC much better. But I know Majesty is an older/smaller ship. I've never been on Carinval.

For a 1 year old, a small blow-up pool is great for splashing...and that's about all they need to do. So, don't base your choice alone on pools!

 

I think all of those will do for a 3 nighter....Majesty will have some of the smallest cabins....be prepared for that! The so-called "superior" OV's are only 157 sq. ft....and the standards are 122! That's REALLY tight! Especially, when that includes the bathroom space!!

We prefer Carnival over Royal. The standard OV cabin is 185 sq ft. The balcony cabins are about the same.
