My first cruise was with my adult son and two girls aged 10 and 13. We went on "Radiance of the Seas", Royal Caribbean. This cruise was with a friend and his 4 children aged 6, 9, 11, and 12.

I was looking forward to food glorious food, what a mistake. the food was terrible. they have what they call The Pantry. Instead of Bay Marie's they have line up sections. The food options did not change for the 4 nights of the cruise! If we were not one of the first there, the food, was only just warm. The deserts were like for a children's party. EG the mouse in tiny glass bowls was enough for two desert spoons with cheerios on top. No cream to be found anywhere, nor ice-cream unless you buy an ice-cream cone, somewhere else.

The entertainment was excellent, well it worked for me, the theater acts were very good indeed. Read more
