Review summary

Overall this cruising experience was ok. The staff was nice and the food was pretty good. Just not enough staff to monitor the food to ensure kids aren’t sticking their hands in food. One kid dropped the spoon on the floor and put it right back in the pan.

Food and Dining

Kids sneezed on food all the time and one kid licked the spoon and put it back in the pan. Grossed me out 😞 the food was good though

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Omg the people who hosted the karaoke were TERRIBLE! they allowed all the guest to turn karaoke into a club setting. People were screaming, but being respectful when people were on the stage singing and didn’t seem to have organizational skills

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Wish we had more DJ’s on the ship. They only played for about 2-3 hours at a time and we were stuck listening to that terrible music they played on the 7th floor

Children's Programs

No kids

I must say the staff was great though outside of the people who hosted karaoke! Especially supaman I believe was his name. He cleaned our rooms. I like Marty too! Very fun and engaging!! Those two were my favorites

You should definitely try Princess cruises! They're geared less toward "kids" but seem to handle the kids that do go better. Princess quality isn't Royal Caribbean, but it's at least as good as Carnival if not better. We were very pleased with our Princess Balcony room.

Exactly. Its the parents to blame. Should be teaching ghem how to behave but lots of parents are selfish just wanting to enjoy themselves and letting kids run wild.

Unsupervised children are an issue everywhere, not just on cruises. I agree it’s the parents responsibility to supervise them, but most don’t and then get mad if someone else tries to intervene. Hopefully the child at the excursion survived.

Where were the kids parents??? They should be watching their own kids, not the crew
