If I was taking a bunch of 6-15 year olds on a cruise, I wouldn't hesitate to choose RCI'S Voyager class ships, like Navigator of the Seas. They have a great kids program and have the extras, no additional charge, such as miniature golf, ice skating, roller blading, rock wall climbing and Adventure Ocean. Our grandkids had a blast, they didn't want to get off the ship when it was in port. There is also a lot of activities for adults, and the ships are absolutely incredible with two Atriums and a Royal Promenade that has to be seen to be believed.

Just like the majority of all the other cruise lines and all perfectly legal. I sure hope Oceana is privately supported and not using my tax dollars.

We have never stopped at Mo Bay on a cruise, but spent a week at Sandals. We spent most of the time on the beach, but did visit Dunns River Falls again. Last time in Ocho Rios we visited Rose Hall. It's closer to Mo Bay than Ocho. We had a really enjoyable time there. I like Jamaica. I think it gets a bad rap. If you have never been to Dunns River, try booking a private tour over the internet, I wouldn't recommend a cruise ship tour, too many people. Like an earlier poster said, beware of the taxis, make sure you get a government authorizes one. If you get a taxi at the cruise ship dock you will have no problem. You can see our photos of Rose Hall at Rose Hall Photos

Sounds like a great trip with lots of celebrating to do. The only negative is that you'll never want to go back to a seven day cruise. ;)

Early morning on the balcony having breakfast, leaving port on the balcony having a martini and any evening in the dining room.

We use bright luggage tags that I make and laminate. It's amazing how easy they are to pick out.

We repeated several. Nordic Prince, Sun Viking, Splendour of the Seas, Sea Princess and we will repeat on Brilliance of the Seas next September.
