[quote=Anonymous]For a cruise, I’d just look at a few cruise websites.  Then, when you know what you want, call Costco and they will give you thousands in Costco cash to book through them.  My advice for cruises — whatever is the newest ship to be built will be almost twice as much.  So avoid that.  Generally speaking, ships and itineraries matter more than cruise line.  Go out of Florida for the best cruises.  Try not to pick the oldest ship.  Check to see the age breaks for the different cruise line kids clubs and make sure you’re okay with it, because they are strict.  If your youngest is by themselves, will they be okay with that?

For reports, I might check Costco to see what they have.  But one of the biggest price swings for a family of that size will be airfare so I might narrow down to places with affordable airfare.  For February you probably don’t want Bahamas but also don’t need to avoid the hurricane belt, so Puerto Rico, st Thomas, Cancun, Jamaica etc would all work.  Do you really want a kids club?  That will limit you significantly.   We went to the Beaches Jamaica with the water park when the kids were that age and it was pretty fun.  Nice beach.  Decent food.  All inclusive.  They also had a five person family suite — which is fairly rare. All inclusive (and also cruises) are really tough for families of five because things are priced by the room so you pay more for 3+2 is more than (4x1.25) if that makes sense.  So for either one you may want to google places that have 5 person suites (assuming you have a partner coming with you—if not, it’s all much easier).
