My wife and I have taken our two children on many cruises. We have also done some multigenerational cruises with my wife's parents. I do agree that connecting rooms are fantastic when travelling with multiple family members. On most cruise lines that offer connecting rooms not only is there a door connecting the rooms, on balcony rooms, you usually can have the divider between opened making the balcony much longer.
There are so many varied activities onboard a cruise ship and at most ports of call, that with a little research and planning all family can have a great time. Also there are so many food options on cruise ships that even if you have a picky eater, you will not have any issues.
