What cruises offer the best experience for families?

This would be our first time going on a cruise. It would be me, my brother, and my mom. I'm 21 and my brother is 15. Some of the reviews I've read about cruise lines is that they attract mostly seniors. So I'm wondering if there are any cruises for people more around mine and my brothers age? Other then the Disney cruise lines that is. I'm interested in going to the Caribbean, I'd really like to go snorkeling and do stuff dealing with the history of the ports that we'd stop in. Any information would be very useful! Thanks.What cruises offer the best experience for families?
I've just come back from Royal Caribbean- Explorer of the Seas. It was fantastic. I'm much older than you, but there were many activities I would not even try, that the young people were having fun with. There's an ice skating rink, a rock climbing wall, all sports, a miniature golf course (I did do that), a golf range, etc. There were 3 pools, jacuzzis, a fitness club, casino, etc. I am sure that if you hang around the activities that the seniors, like me, do not partake of, you'll meet the younger crowd. But then, you can't be shy in talking to them. For your brother there are special teen programs.

I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time.
I'm going on Royal CAribbean in 2 months. ALthough were not bringing any kids along there is lots to do on this one. There is a rock climbing wall and ice skating rink and theres always pools on all ships. Its the ship called Explorer of the Seas, but, I think most RC's have them.What cruises offer the best experience for families?
Go on the Carnival Cruise Lines Caribbean trips. They are great. I'm going on one in February, the website says you can swim with the dolphins and go snorkeling and hunt for beautiful shells.
Carnival is more of a party ship, I would suggest Royal Carribean because it will have all ages and there are a lot more things to do on the ship. Enjoy you trip!!
Definitely either Royal Carribean or Carnival! I've been on both, they're amazing and most popular for families.:)
If you stick with Carnival and Royal Caribbean, you will have a great time!!



Hope I helped!
