Traveled with children

Got a great deal for two interior adjacent cabins for myself, my wife and two kids aged 10 and 12.

I'll start with the lowlight first as it will serve as a warning to other parents with young kids. My son broke his arm on the cruise not by ice-skating, rock climbing or flo-riding but by sitting in a chair.

The viewing chairs around the ice skating rink are different to those in the theatre which we were used to. The theatre seats are typical cinema seats with a rigid back and a flexible base. In the ice rink the chair back is not rigid so when you sit in the chair the back moves as well as the base. My son sat in the chair with his arm draped over the back of the chair. When he sat down his body weight moved the back of the chair and crushed his muscles and broke his arm. This happened as he sitting in the back row and his arm was trapped between the metal bar rail that separated the chair from the walkway. Had he sat in that position in any other chair his arm would not have been broken as there are no metal bars behind the other chairs. So beware!!! I asked the ship safety officer if there was anything we could have done to avoid the accident and he said "I hope you understand but I cannot answer that question".
