First time cruising so I chose a short break to test the waters ! I always thought cruises were for your twilight years how wrong was I . As a single mum with 2 young boys it was daunting however the terminal and ship staff talked me through what to expect and where to go and nothing was a problem it really was smooth sailing... ..great customer service. It is an impressive ship much larger than I ever thought it would be. Lots to do for all ages, rock climbing, surfing, swimming ,splash pools, slides, basket ball and the nightlife including bars, silent discos, amazing theatre shows and a superb ice show. The onboard ice rink that turns into laser run for the kids during the day. An actual Street on board where you can spend on bags at Michael Kors or something sparkly with Pandora. Amongst other shops it was mind blowing! We used the buffet restaurant for breakfast and dinner there was an amazing display of great food to please all pallets. We had a balcony stateroom which was amble size and comfortable. I have booked again for next year we can't wait ! The Bruge snd Paris trips were well organised and seamless. I would recommend this ship and Royal caribbean for great care and customer service.
