my wife and i just took the "relax" cruise with island explorer the other day, primarily because looking at all of the options we decided it would have the fewest number of people (only 6 including us). it was great for us because we were in no rush and didn''t mind the bali hai catamaran and others whizzing by us on the way to lembongan. once there, we snorkeled for a bit, had lunch, then went ashore to the rather ratty coconuts resort for a dip in their daytripper pool (although i must admit looking out at the ocean/surfers from the infinity edge was good fun). their pontoon is dinky compared to that of bali hai w/ a tiny slide that would probably be of interest to small children. they also came around w/ a banana boat ride that''s also best fit for kids. lunch was nice, the staff was very pleasant and overall we had a great time. however, i would say if you''re going w/ kids bali hai would be a better bet for their catamaran and more significant slide and pontoon.
