We choose this cruise as it appeared that it would have enough options to keep us and our teenagers (15 & 16) entertained. We were right. The teenagers immediately became part of the O2 Club and we barely saw them, other than for dinner, for the entire 8 days. The fabulous thing about the cruise is we were able to give them their freedom without the usual worries that come with them going to parties etc. As for us we took advantage of nearly all of the activities offered on board which meant we had plenty to do during the day and night as well as time to spend relaxing - mainly in the adults only Serenity Bar.

The 3 island stops were ok, Isle de Pines being the highlight, with a beautiful spot to swim just a few minutes walk from the jetty. Without exception all of the staff we interacted with were professional, polite, accommodating and friendly which really added to our enjoyment of the trip.

My advice would be to pack lightly, there are easily accessible laundries on board which cost $7.50 per load (powder, wash, dry). Embrace the themed nights, it makes for a lot of fun. Go with the anytime dining option if your kids are teenagers or older (the early session has a lot of little kids). Another great thing to know is if you buy a bottle of wine you can take it with you as you move around the ship to different activities, you don't have to drink it all at dinner for example. You can even take it back to your cabin and bring it back to dinner etc the next day.
