tennispretzel: Welcome, and thanks for the intro! This sounds like a trip my former mom-in-law organized a few short years ago over New Years on a mega ship (she paid, and no-one was complaining). There were 3 generations and about 22 aboard, and they all loved it except my former husband, who jumped ship after 3 days! The rest had a ball It was just too big for him. You will love the Navigator! Only time I've had all my 4 children together was in Alaska. I put out no rules, except let's "try" to eat dinner together. I spent time with each of them individually on certain outings, and sometimes we did things as a group, like the Virtuoso excursion that was gratis. It isn't a good idea in my mind to take them all on a cruise and then dictate what everyone does. So long as we eat together at dinner, there is more sharing of experiences this way. Your group is so big it would be impossible to please everyone with a plan! Just go with the flow and all will have a great time!

Ray, I love your everchanging quotes that reflect on the subject of the thread!
