Review summary

This was our 3rd cruise with Royal Caribbean and first with our 2 year old son. It could not have gone any better. It has everything you could possibly want on a holiday for every age. The staff on the ship are brilliant and go out of their way to make sure you have the best holiday possible.

Food and Dining

Windjammer Marketplace

5 out of 5

We have a 2 year old who is a picky eater so we decided to eat dinner at the Windjammer each day as they always had something that he would eat. The choices there are endless and very tasty. Each day the theme changed so you never got bored of the food.

Sorrentos

Loved stopping in here near the end of the day for a couple of slices of tasty pizza. They usually had 3 options available and the options vary throughout the day.

Adventure Ocean

5 out of 5

We booked our 2 year old son in for 2-3 hours most days. As he is not in cresh yet we were not sure how he would take to it, within 30 seconds of meeting the team in Adventure Ocean he was bursting to get in and play. Filled in a short little form about what to give him and whether he needed a nap or not etc. By day 2 he was running down the hall to Adventure Ocean with a smile from ear to ear. The place was always spotless and never overcrowded

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was always kept spotless by housekeeping. Plenty big for 2 adults and a 2 year old. Our cabin was a 30 second walk to Adventure Ocean which was ideal. Very quiet at night.

Ship tip

If you have kids, book Adventure Ocean early as the slots fill up quick. Get the drinks package and internet, both are well worth the money.
