If it were me I would do Alaska. As Don said, the kids might be a bit young for cruising, but they would certainly enjoy a cruise more than NYC at these ages. this isn't to say they won't enjoy the entire experience, but they will not remember the sights of NY I can almost bet. Comparing the 3am child care to 1am shouldn't even be a concern. I am sure you will be ready to call it a night by 1am.The best feature offered by Carnival, in my estimation, is the cabin size, they have the largest at sea. Both lines offer very good kids programs.Whatever you decide have a wonderful time with the girls. BTW, I am not knocking cruising with kids, I hope you don't take it that way, I just think you should realize that your younger daughter will have fun, but not remember much of the trip. Regardless everyone will have a new adventure and I think Alaska is a better choice with children.NMNita
