Carnival is pretty family friendly. Also, the Disney Cruise Line.

I start my research at vacationstogo.com. Be advised that this is the most expensive week of the year for a cruise.

Disney if you have little kids. Carnival if you have teens.

I would say Carnival, but if are thinking about going, you better get on the ball. Christmas time is the busiest travel time, and a lot of cruises are getting booked up for that week. I personally are going on a Carnival Cruise 12-23 to 12-30 and the Carnival Valor was booked 82 % and I booked in March.

TINKERTOY ….. the one, the only, the original

You didn’t say what ages your family is but I am recommending the Royal CAribbean ships, Freedom of the Seas and Liberty of the Seas. They both do Caribbean cruises during the Christmas season. Both ships are brand new and cater to families. They have unique activities that other ships and lines do not have like the rock climbing wall, the ice skating rink, and the new RC exclusive Flow Rider which allows you to surf while on ship. The ship has a pool area exclusively for kids and an adults only “solarium” that has a pool and hot tubs. The ship is huge but is very smooth sailing and it has some of the best cabins I have experienced on a ship. The food and entertainments were great also. We took the Freedom last November and really enjoyed it, especially the private RC island in LAbadee. It is the best cruise line private island I have ever been to. Its huge and they even have a free tram to take you from one end to the other. It has a full range of activities like snorkle, scuba, para-sail, and jet ski, along with many beaches.

You can’t go wrong with Freedom or Liberty.

I say Carnival. Carnival is a more family oriented line year round. I read that last year, there were many activites for Christmas cruises. Every kid on the ship was given a gift from Santa Claus. The Camp Carnival kids decorated ornaments to hang on a big Christmas tree. The whole ship was decorated. The staff and crew went around singing Christmas carols, and encouarged the passengers to join in. Christmas shows, such as the Polar Express, were shown on cabin televisions. I hope this helps!

*Unlimited food on top deck hotdogs, bugers, pizza, icecreamBelieve me there are many many more reasons.

*the staterooms are 15-20% bigger than carnival and other liners and whoever designed them made the most of the space. on carnival i feel sooooo closed in and its like a jail cell.Disney goes above and beyond to provide anything you need or want.

DISNEY all the way no matter what your kids ages!!!! Trust me, the service disney provides is the best. They make Christmas so special and spectacular!
Just to name a few things that make disney cruises so special:
*Disneys private island Castaway Cay (which they do decorate for the holidays)
Family beach, Teenager beach with volleyball and game room, and private adult beach with mahi mahi and drinks!!!!
*The childrens club which your kids will practically BEGGG to go and stay, they give you a beeper if they need you but you’ll never hear it beep…LOL
*Movie theater which shows recent outcoming movies
*Play theater where their shows are rated #1 cruising shows the little kids love it and its filled with adult and teenage humor so believe me you’ll have a good time to

Our family (extended) 18 people total is going with Carnival the week before Christmas this year. THey have been super easy to work with in planning. I went with them earlier and they seem to have something for everyone. Good Luck and have fun

I highly recommend Carnvial, both for good price and FUN!!! We are planning our 5th cruise with Carnival and have never had any problems.

I am looking to get them out to do something (doesnt have to be a cruise, but possibly something smiilar) in January, anything in the Boston area for under 0-400. Any ideas?

My wife loves cruises and we’ve never been on one together. I reserved one for Christmas (for Spring 2009) but I am not sure how I should wrap it up? should I print out the itinerary? any good suggestions? thanks

If you have taken a cruise on the Brilliance. did you go to the Medditerranean? How was the weather in December. did you get much cold weather ( I consider 50′ cold, I live in Alabama) I cruised on the Brilliance once and loved it.
TINKERTOY! we may have been on the same cruise, we did a cruise which started from Barcelona late Oct 04. loved it. allthough the man who jumped overboard was a sad thing.

Were there holiday related decorations and activities? We have decided to forego the traditional family Christmas that we do every year and have booked a Western Carribean cruise on the Golden Princess.

My Husbands work is having a Christmas party Dinner cruise on a BIG boat and I am not sure what to wear / How I should dress for something like this. The Secratarys at his work said some people will wear jeans some will wear a dinner dress and some will wear dress pants. Whats a dinner dress? I am 25 years old and I need some help here. Thanks for your time!

Romantic Mexican Cruises – You’ll Never Forget It
Executive Summary about mexican cruises by Denise Walker

Mexican Cruises are among the most exotic cruises. Just about every major cruise line has packages to Mexico and the Mexican Riviera. Whether you are on your honeymoon, anniversary celebration, or just a romantic getaway, Mexican cruises are perfect.

Honeymoon cruise packages are common romantic cruises to Mexico. Norwegian Cruise Lines offers two honeymoon packages. The standard package includes complimentary champagne and cake party. The deluxe honeymoon package has additional features including breakfast in bed on any day of your choice and two 25-minute Mandara Spa half-body Seven Seas Massages.

The Princess honeymoon packages include a complimentary bottle of champagne along with two Princess engraved souvenir champagne glasses. The Carnival’s honeymoon package includes champagne with engraved flutes, Carnival t-shirts, and a bar credit.

Anniversary cruise packages have become just as popular as honeymoon packages. The Princess offers the Anniversary Experience with the same amenities as the honeymoon packages. The Carnival includes cabin decoration and cake commemorating your anniversary. If you want something special to celebrate your anniversary, ask your cruise planner.

Romance packages to Mexico include amenities such as wine or champagne in your stateroom. Breakfast in bed one day during the cruise is a common feature of romance packages. Holland America offers several romance packages including Celebrations, Just for Us, Renewal of Vows, and Romantic Voyage. Each package features different amenities from champagne upon arrival to card lessons and casino chips. You get all of the romance of a cruise with the allure of exotic Mexican culture. You can stay onboard or take land tours.

Mexican Cruises, Something For Everyone
Executive Summary about mexican cruises by Dorothy Santoro

If you are looking for a Mexican cruise, you have many choices. All the major cruise lines are booking Mexican cruises everyday. For example, Holland America sells many all inclusive Mexican cruises, as does, Royal Caribbean and many others.

There are many itineraries available for taking your Mexican cruise. You can cruise the Baja peninsula, go down through the Panama Canal or cruise the warm waters of the Caribbean side of Mexico. Mexican Cruises will start off, from ports on the Gulf of Mexico or Florida and sail the Yucatan and Western Caribbean.

Or they can depart from the west coast from ports like San Diego, Los Angeles and Long Beach, with Mexican cruises concentrating on the ports of this vast, diverse country that lie on the west coast of Mexico along the Pacific Ocean.

The Gulf of Mexico cruises sail the eastern coast, known as the Mayan Riviera to towns along the the Yucatan Peninsula, including Cozumel and Cancun.

Mexican cruises, known for being luxurious, allow you to move to mariachi music and meander through markets with mountains of colorful baskets, serapes and sombreros, combining day life with night life. You can take time to explore quaint fishing villages, colorful markets and ancient cultures, or go marlin fishing in Mazatlan, snorkeling in Cabo San Lucas or relaxing on the beaches of Puerto Vallarta with an icy Margarita in your hand.

If you are passionate about traveling to beautiful beaches and interesting places, try Mexico. The true heart and soul of Mexico can be seen if you take in the historic sights, old-world factories and traditional plantations.
