Review summary

I booked a Royal Caribbean spring break cruise on a whim one evening and woke up the next morning wondering what on earth I had done. So, I did what everyone does, looked for a social media group where I could get some answers, and stumbled upon Royal Caribbean Moms at Sea. I joined as fast as I could and started reading all the information. Who knew there were so many ships, itineraries, excursions, and restaurants? And mom hacks too?! What even does aft mean? Where does my family eat? I quickly realized I was in over my head and that the ship I had booked in haste the night before was not a great fit for the family. In desperation, I sent @momsatsea an email and was quickly and kindly greeted by Kelly Aleman. She was able to help us find a ship with an amazing list of ports that better suited our family, and even helped my parents and brother find rooms on the same ship with us! How great of a time did we have? Well, we have been home for less than a week and have already booked our next cruise (once again with the expert guidance of Kelly), and we can't wait to surprise our children at Christmas! Hopefully, the crocodile tears pouring from their eyes while leaving the ship will be replaced with happy tears of excitement and joy when they get to find out that we are going back to Royal Caribbean!
