dmtcc Posted June 13, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 13, 2008 My husband and i are trying to decide between 2 different ships for our vacation. 1) RCCL INdependence of the SEAS Transatlantic crossing 13 day Southhampton to Ft lauderdale November 6 2) NCL Dawn Caribbean 13 days New york to Miami Nov 2 We have twin girls who will be 4 by the time we cruise. Can anyone who has done these itinieries with children tell me their experiences of the cruise/weather for these times of the year? (NOVEMBER) I like the RCCl vessel for all the amenities (especially the H2O zone for the children). My husabnd like the NCL ships for the dining and food (freestyle). Any opinions or experiences would be appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted June 13, 2008 #2 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I'm partial to RCI. Do you know that they plan to have an Anytime Dining option on all their ships by the end of the year? (It's in trials on several of their ships now, including Freedom) My advice would be to price out the airfare for each of those cruise options. Airfare is outrageous now, and might make the TA prohibitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix1181 Posted June 13, 2008 #3 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I'd do the Caribbean...................... The H2O zone is great, but at that time of year, crossing the Atlantic, the weather may not be nice enough to use it. You're also looking at a much longer travel day with a significant time change. Time changes can be difficult for anyone but I think it may be especially tough on a 4 yo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted June 13, 2008 #4 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I'd do Carib with the girls. But remember that you aren't going to have warm weather for them to enjoy until you get south of Florida. Nov on the east coast can be ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonVoyage55 Posted June 15, 2008 #5 Share Posted June 15, 2008 With small children, you would probably be better off taking the RCCL one because of the options for the kids. Does the NCL make any ports during the trip?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
