Family and I may plan to take a east carribean cruise with air soon
(less than 60 days). Any advice on which islands are best to see? Is
the carnival cruise too wild for say 55+ old parents traveling with
their college age kids (I mean for the parents not the kids <grin>) ?

Also debating whether to save money and do the western carribean
cruise instead (closer to our home so we don't need air) but my wife
prefers eastern carribean cruise. Is one better than the other? Why?
With either, one daughter wants to swim with dolphins. Can either
cruise excursion accomodate this (in a pool not in the open seas) ?

Any suggestion as to which travel agents to consider for either cruise
on line? I know of the larger ones... Travelocity, Expedia or Orbitz
but not sure of others.

Last, anything to consider or advise that maybe might be helpful. Any
good web sites to read up for this type cruising? If it matters, we
already have done one cruise in Hawaii (would consider again but wife
wants change).

thanks.
