First Time Traveling on a Carnival Cruise!

I have traveled close to a million miles by air (many with my wife and a decent amount with our kids) but had not been on a long-distance, multi-day cruise. Very recently we completed our first cruise on the Carnival Breeze, and overall, it was a wonderful experience. We went with our two kids (ages 5 and 9) and their grandparents from both sides of the family and it would be hard to find a travel experience that caters to a group of people with that wide of an age variance.
