This was our first cruise, I read some reviews of the ship before we went and worried that we had made a very expensive mistake, I needn't have done we had a fabulous time
Boarding the ship at Southampton is the easiest start to a holiday we have ever had, within in 30 mins of parking we were on board
We are a family of four with two kids aged 16 and 13, our travel agent recommended RCI as having the best ships for holidaying with teenagers, the ship is amazing with so much to keep them occupied, they used the teenage club to start with and soon made friends then they had the freedom to do make the most of the facilities and do things on their own. They enjoyed the freedom of being allowed to be up late while we knew they were safe, there were probably 1000 teenagers on board but we didn't see any bad behaviour.
Our cabin was bigger than expected the double bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of storage even for four people, the kids beds lowered down from the ceiling, our brilliant room attendant stowed them away every morning and made them up again in the evening
