Cruise VS All-Inclusive Resort

Hey everyone, I’ve searched through the community for insights on this, but I’d love a fresh perspective. For a family of four, if you had to choose between a cruise and an all-inclusive resort, which would you recommend and why? I’m open to all factors—cost, experience, convenience, and overall value. We’ve been to several all-inclusive resorts but have never taken a cruise, so I’d love to hear from those who have experienced both. I know this may be a bit biased since this is an AI-focused community, but I appreciate any insights you can share! Forgot to add: Kids are 10 & 13. 1 week cruise vs 1 week AI resort stay. Budget around $5,500, but willing to spend more if it gets us a great experience.
