Carnival cruise line

carnival will get a lot of attention this year when the carnival is presented with 5,200 passengers, with the “wow” feature of the first roller coaster at sea.

A Seuss at Sea program encourages children to become Dr. Read Seuss classics, with The Cat in the Hat performing over a breakfast of green eggs and ham (complete with creepy food). Family Harbor cabins and suites offer access to a private family lounge for breakfast, snacks, and video games. Camp Ocean has kids ages 2-11 with everything from crafting to dancing, with separate clubs for tweens (12-14 years old) and teenagers (13-17 years old). 7 nights in the Eastern Caribbean at the February Carnival from $ 669

Norwegian cruise line

Norway’s newest ships are equipped with two-deck racetracks for older children and adults to sail on Drive go-karts high above the sea (younger children can ride as passengers). Aqua parks offer wet thrills and video arcades and open-air laser tags appeal to families too. A highlight of the Splash Academy (for ages 3-12) is a circus school, where young people learn to spin, juggle and stumble, which culminates in a performance. Young people get their own club room. The Norwegian Joy with 3,900 passengers (with a racetrack) will depart from Montego Bay, Jamaica, starting in August this year. 7 nights in the Western Caribbean from $ 699
