We went on the Western Caribbean Mariner Cruise (Voyager Class Ship) Thanksgiving week (2004). We loved it so much we are going on the new Freedom of the Seas for this Thanksgiving. I think with the age of the kids and the activities provided I would definitely suggest the larger Voyager class ships or the new amazing Freedom. We had kids from age 6 to 17 in our group. The younger kids loved camp and just all the things the ship has to offer and the older kids loved the no adult allowed disco and hangout area. My mom was in a wheelchair and we booked a handicapped room. I would strongly suggest that for your Dad. It was huge compared to ours (same price and both inside cabins). But the handicap room was probably twice the size and much easier for them to move around. We also had brought along my 88 yr. old father in-law and booked a connecting room for him and my son. That was nice because we had our privacy, but they were right there (had the door between us and we could check up on them). I say go for it, you’ll all have a great time!
