Christmas Break and Spring Break are the most expensive times to cruise. They are also crammed full of little one's out of school. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
As someone else suggested, check out Cruise Critic. Most all your questions can be answered on this site. Also great forums for chatting.
As for cruise lines themselves. Carnival, NCL, and RCCL tend to be more family oriented. Celebrity and Holland are more upscale. Princess tries to do everything well. That being said, asking for cruise line advise is very suggestive, and you can get many different answers.
Happy Cruise, what ever you choose.
