Traveled with children

My family and I (son, his wife and my twin grandsons, aged 11) sailed on MSC Orchestra from Dubai around the United Arab Emirates on 14th February. I have travelled many times before with MSC but this was the first ever cruise for my son and his family, who are based in Dubai.

I had joined a Roll Call for this cruise and the group met up on the afternoon we boarded and it was so nice to put faces to the names on the Roll Call. Many at the gathering were staying on the ship and then sailing on to Australia reaching Freemantle 33 days later! We all got on so well and met up several times around the ship during the week.

We did not sail until 11 pm (although it was stated in all paperwork that it would be 10 pm). The compulsory lifeboat drill was held at 11.30 pm. As you can imagine those who had had long haul flights or even overnight flights arriving early in Dubai that day were very tired. A lot of the children were half asleep anyway at that time but ours managed to get through it and thought it great fun!

Cabin Review

Very spacious with plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. Sofa comfy and nice glass coffee table. Quite a spacious balcony table and two chairs. Bathroom fine but shower small. Everything kept spotlessly clean by the cabin steward Family had identical cabin with balcony(11171) which had a single sofa bed and drop down bunk bed - still plenty of room to move around.
