Review summary

Fantastic family holiday. So much to do each day. Our children are 1, 6 and 13 years old and were never bored. The staff onboard were great, and spoilt our kids. Such a variety of food each day. It was our 2nd cruise and we are looking forward to another one. My only criticism wasnt with any staff or the ship it was with fellow passangers who complained and were extremely rude about too many kids on board. Unfotunately if you book in school holidays this is what is going to happen.

Thanks for this review regarding your kids never being bored. I've read recently if they're not teenagers the wont enjoy it. Mine will be 7 and 9 when we cruise, glad to hear they wont be bored or hate it. 😊

We went to Lifou and Noumea, for 7 nights. My eldest was always on the sports court and went in the competitiins he could. He also had a go at bingo, zumba and salsa dancing and said he had so much fun just trying new things with people he met. The 6 year old loved the rock climbing, table tennis, origami and the scavenger hunts. We also did the cupcaking class which she had a ball in. We went to the babies are for one day with the 1 year old but she just loved watching the others and waving to all the staff. I just love the range of activities and getting the kids to try things they wouldnt usually
