One option is to limit myself to 16-35/4L IS and 70-200/4L IS. I imagine that 16-35mm covers most of my vacation needs and in some cases perhaps even better than the 24-70mm alone and especially when paired to a 70-200mm?

Preliminary packlist option three:

6D

16-35/4L IS - Main lens on 6D

70-200/4L IS - In small backpack for details, candids and general long reach from ship.

I'd suggest this as the best of your three options. You wife and son each have normal zoom ranges on their cameras. Use your camera to complement what they have rather than being redundant. At the same time, save the weight and space by leaving the 24-70 at home. You'll still get outstanding image quality with the two lenses above.

Agreed, and maybe pick up the new 50STM for low light.

Sometimes you take better photos when restricted in your lenses.

Although sometimes you kick yourself later too!:-)
