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)

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.

personally, I would go with Carnival. If you are wanting more fun that is. and the prices are cheaper by 150 - 400 per person


RedSoxfan1982
Go either RC or Celebrity. I heard holland one is part of NCL and NCL is the WORST cruise ine ever.


C.H.
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.

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.


Tivogal
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.

expecting a boy in june 09!!
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!

RCCL is a great choice.

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.
