I need help with choosing a cruise?

hey all my family and i (10 ppl) r booking a cruise we want to go to mexico were debating on holland america oosterdam or royal caribbean vision of the seas were trying to see what is a better ship to have more fun on good entertainment for children with all ages and adults and senior citezins over all better prices and ship!
-thanks!






Answer :
Holland America tends to be a lot older crowd. Royal Caribbean, while catering to an older crowd than Carnival, have many activities that are geared toward a younger group (like the rock walls and water slides)






Answer :
I disagree with the first respondent. I've been on 4 Holland America cruises, 3 to the Caribbean and 1 to Alaska and 1 cruise on Royal Caribbean. There's plenty to do for kids on Holland America, they have a HAL teen club and innumerable activities for all ages. Holland America does not have a disproportionate number of seniors, it does however have fewer of the single, loud, partying types. I find Holland America to be equal to or better than Royal Caribbean in terms of service, cuisine and clientele. While you will enjoy the cruise on either ship, do check out the ports of call, and the prices, and make your choice accordingly.






Answer :
for kids, princess is not good, either Royal careabean, a lots of senior there, since it's little fancy both of them most people are seniors!! I am speaking on experience, try Carnaval Cruise ship, they cheapest and most people young and kids, that's my advice! good luck it's so much fun!






Answer :
Go with Royal Caribbean. Holland America has a lot more seniors on it and not a lot for kids to do. Also consider Princess too. They have a little of everything, but Royal Caribbean is a very good cruise line if you are interested in that one.






Answer :
Holland America (Oosterdam) is a vista class ship which was voted number 1 for kids last year. They are a full five star ship so they tend to have a large senior crowd as well. The other ship I would reccomend going out of L.A. is the Sapphire Princess.






Answer :
for kids, princess is nice, royal carribean is nice for kids too.
holland america typically has a more reserved experience. NOt too much for kids there.

have a wonderful time.

Answer :
Go Princess or Royal Caribbean. They're the BEST! Holland America is mostly just adults. If you go Princess or Royal Caribbean, everyone will have a great time.
