I chose this cruise because the promotion at the time was kids sail free (I have 3) and 60% of second guest. So with me, my mom, and 3 kids it felt like a steal! I was first and foremost very pleased with the staff and how helpful they were. They were extremely kind to my kinds as well. It seems like it must be a requirement to not only tolerate kids but like them! The food was good, but nothing stood out like wow! You have to try this! The room was small of course, but not as small as I feared off of reviews I read. There was plenty of entertainment and things to do and choose from. One thing I wish they had was at least one lower sink at the windjammer for younger cruisers to wash their hands so I wouldn't have to pick up my 2 smallest every time! But overall, I was impressed with my trip and very glad I picked RCI for my first cruise.
