My husband cruised on Holland America around Mediterranean about 12 years ago. We haven't cruised since then until this past July cruise with our kids aged 11 and 9 with Royal Carribean Cruise.
I will start with the positives first:
- extremely friendly, fun and efficient staff from the cabins to the dining room and the activity staff
Our family of four stayed in two separate cabins. Have a total of 5 suitcases (small to medium size) and a violin. Enough space to stow the suitcases and enough closet space to hang our clothes. Need to use ALL drawers. After we packed and organized, the space was comfortable. Restroom was tiny but manageable. TV worked well. No coffee maker. Very quiet.
