This was our first time cruising as a family, Our kids are 17 and 13. We had a really great time. We loved the Freestyle dinning options. There was no rushing or worrying about a dinner time. We were able to be clock free for the most part. I have to talk, first, about a server in The seven Seas dining room. We discovered him on our 3 night and never sat anywhere else. He was beyond fantastic. He anticipated all of our needs, was prompt and absolutely professional in every way. He added so much to our dinning experience.
The food portions are small, but if you taste something that you really like, you can order another one. Each night there was something delicious, whether it was a soup, an appitizer or the main course.
Our ship,The Sun:
We initially booked an interior cabin. The A/C seemed to be having issues and we had it looked at, which fixed the problem for about 24-36 hours. We recieved a complimentary plate of chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of red wine after this problem. A piece on the threshold of the bathroom was broken, which caused me to cut my toe. By that afternoon, we were upgraded to a balcany room, which we enjoyed so much. It was challenging to get around with 4 people in the cabin. There was plenty of storage cabinets, however, with 4 of us, we still had to get in and out of our suitcases often. We stored those under the King sized bed.Our room steward did a great job keeping us supplied with clean towels and folding up the kids fouton bed.
