Default Best cruise for a toddler

Can anyone give suggestions for the best cruise for a 18month old toddler.

We cruised the Norweigan Sun last year, it worked out great for us.
Freestyle cruising helped us a lot with an unpredictable baby schedule. We
ended up spending most of the time in our balcony cabin.

This year our son is much more active and will need to run and play. Sounds
like 18 months is too young for most kid programs. It would be great if we
could be with him in a play area, like the ball filled gyms or a padded play
area like they have at our local malls. I don't know what the rules are
about parents being in the kid areas or using the kid water slides.

Thanks

Perhaps the engine room? Or one of the walk-in freezers? Or the garbage
grinding room?

(Do you understand that some people take vacations to get away from
kids...theirs and other people's?)

You might consider taking your vacation someplace that doesn't
advertise for and cater to families. These days that would not include
mass market cruise lines.

Thanks for the very pleasent and useful response.

In case you haven't noticed, many families take cruises. I'm not asking you
to be on mine, that's why I'm asking for a suggestion.
