We took this cruise, because we booked it for the Don Moen and Friends package. We brought our 6 and 8 year old boys with us, but I didn't check out cruise critic until a week before the cruise. I'm so glad our experience wasn't like so many others. We have nothing but wonderful things to say!

Traveling with children aboard the Eurodam - First I'll address this, because first of all - this was not the old age cruise everyone had mentioned. Though there weren't many young children, there was always a small group in Club Hal. My boys were in two separate groups, but the comment "they just stick them in front of the TV" was not true for us. They got to make sushi in the ships' teaching kitchen, and each had their own evening "extravaganza" - a pirate one, and a spy one - which they loved! They played ball, Wii, games, did crafts - it was a hoot - AND the staff were fabulous!

Food - Although we may not be in the "upper echelon" of food eaters - my husband and I love a good meal. And I'm gluten free - which is a bit challenging. We thought the food in the main dining room was wonderful - as did the family sitting with us. We had two nights of room service (another negative on this site). Room service was prompt, friendly, correct in the order, and tasty. What a great time, watching Get Smart (free DVDs by the dozens) in our room eating a great meal! We never made it to the fancy restaurants, but saw no need to spend extra money, when even the buffet - which we hit on lobster/shrimp cocktail night - satisfied all four of us very well. Read more
