My parents took 16 of us on a Carnival cruise and also to an all-inclusive in Aruba for Christmas. Both times it was a blast to run into family members (and sometimes catch them doing a no-no) wherever we went. I wish I could afford to take my whole family, but that's a lot of people for my budget. 13 at this time! I dont blame you for giving up on co Ordinator. I did the Aruba trip, and wow...that was a lot of work!
