Traveled with children

First of all I would never of thought I would write a review but after this trip I felt it was necassary to share some information . We are 3 familes that travel every year and this was our first time together on RCCL. We are in our 40s and children are ages from 13- 18. Lets first say that our kids were bored . There was close to 500 teens on board and only 2 activity coordinators for these kids. Activities were canceled and there was no notification. There was a kids dodgeball event and a ball went overboard they canceld actvity.We recieved alot of apologies for this but nothing changed regardless. At night there was nothing going on for the kids.The Optix club never had anyone in there because there was no one in there to moniter the room. Most of the kids hung out on the sports deck playing basketball every night. Plus there was not enough security by basketball court at night

Food- We never made it to the Dining room except for Dinner which was always good . As for buffet it was the same food every day and night.We had dinner there one night and it was a mess.The staff never cleaned up the food trays and it almost looked like a school cafateria.

Pool Deck- Very boring- Only 3 activities at pool deck for the 9 days- Belly Flop ,Sexy Man and Baggo( which is bean bag tossing) Really ?. Same reggae band played 3 sets a day for an hour other than that is was 80s music all day .If you get to pool deck early to put towels down which is frowned upon they will take the towles off the chairs if you are away more than 30 minutes.
