| You might try Cruise Reviews, Cruise Deals and Cruises - Cruise Critic. You can compare cruises there, and search by itinerarys, departing port, etc.

| I sailed on Serenade of the Seas (RCCL) for our cruise to Alaska this past summer. Next summer, they are going to be sailing the Southern Caribbean itinerary out of San Juan. It was a fabulous ship. Don's pointed you to some very excellent resources to begin your planning.

| Thanks for the info...checked out the cruise Critic website and several family cruise websites and it seems RCCL is going to be the best fit for our family. Ok, that's off the check list... now to figure out cruise line dates and which islands!

| ok...I spoke too soon... all the RCCL's that are over the top for kids only go to Eastern and Western carribean??? Oasis and Freedom class? Next in line is the Voyager class, which has the rock-climbing walls, miniature golf courses and ice-skating rinks...But doesn't look like it has H2O Zone waterpark or the Flowriders, the Zip Line, AquaTheater and a Carousel! I just want to do the Southern part. Am I missing something? Does anyone know what other cruise ships go to the Southern carribean and are family friendly and have great options for kids? Thanks!

| The Vision of the Seas is the only RCI ship that does a 7 night out of San Juan. The Explorer of the Seas does a 12 night out of New Jersey. But both of those are only during the winter. The Explorer is 132,000 tons, while the Vision is 75,000 tons and doesn't have things like the ice rink. The Carnival Victory has a 7 night Southern out of San Juan and the Carnival Miracle does 8 night out of Ft Lauderdale. Those are big ships, although they don't have climbing walls,they do have an incredible water park. And the third best kids program (according to Conde Nast, there is no second best, Disney is that far ahead  , at least in 2007). RCI is the next, at least on the bigger ships. Princess is considered the best in Alaska, but that's not quite a Southern, is it?  Celebrity and Princess both have Southern routes during the winter.
