This was a very special cruise as we travelled with our children, their spouses and their children. There were 23 of us in total with 12 children under the age of 11. We had 3 babies under 3 months, 2 at 2 years, 1 at 18 months, 1 at 3 1/2, 1 at 4, 1 at 6, 1 at 9, 1 at 10 and 1 at 11.
We were treated royally. The maitre d', Victor, helped us sort out the dining tables, as we were split up among other couples. So by the second night we were all together and french fries were at the tables for the little ones as soon as we sat down. We were really pleased with the dining room staff and how they handled the babies and small children.
Some of the older children participated in the kids program and were really happy. We hardly saw the 6 - 11 year olds at all. The 4 year olds were a little more apprehensive to stay in the programs, but as long as one of the aunts or parents were there they had fun.
