The main concern I have about ABD (besides cost) is how many children and adults are on the trip. On the cruise, there are adult only areas when you need a break from other peoples children. Don't get me wrong, we like well behaved kids, but I get a vision of being trapped on endless tour busses with the children from He**. Has anyone been to both experiencs? I would be grateful for the info.

However even if there are children the group size is usually small enough to not have any impact (and usually the Adventure Guides ensure that the kids have their own experiences). Many of the experiences for ABD have changed but I would definitely recommend them over DCL. DCL is a nice experience and if you want a more relaxing vacation then that is definitely the right choice. ABD is more my style.

I know that they are a LP sponsor but they were exceptional in helping to make decisions. I believe several of the advisers have been on ABD itineraries.

They will be both adults in college by time we go and they both liked the idea of the college get togethers on board. So cruise it is for our 25th, but I reserve the right to go on an ABD sometime even if I go alone! Thanks leemac for your help!
