Hi it is my first time cruising with husband and 18, 16 and 9 year old. We have limited times we can go as our 18 year old has to do college this summer. The two cruises we can do are 7 day carnival glory or 5 day rc enchantment of the seas. what should we do

I'd say more cruising is always better than less - unless there is a huge price difference, go with the Glory.

Never been on the Glory. Enchantment was my first cruise (I was 19), and I had a great time on it.

That question really can only be answered by you. Choose the cruise that best fits your needs. What are the issues that are important to you? Cost, itinerary, activities on board, room size comfort? This is why working with a cruise oriented Travel Agent can help. Both RCI and Carnival are good cruise lines. Both are nice ships. The Glory is a larger ship, and the cabin sizes have more square footage. Food and entertainment on both cruise lines are comparable. You will hear different opinions of pro/con on both cruise lines.
