Three years ago, while on the Escape, we bought a Cruise Next certificate and we had to use it! After some research we decided on this ship because it was similar to the Escape, which we all loved, but with a different itinerary.
My family consists of me, 44, husband, 45, two boys, 12 & 10. My 12 yo is less than a month from turning 13.
Our stateroom, 10874 was small, but laid out nice and we never felt too cramped. We all had space to relax. I never had a balcony before and it was wonderful. Most days I woke up before anyone else, so I was able to slip out to the balcony with my book and relax while my family snoozed away.
A basic stateroom for four people. I wish the bathroom was a bit bigger, but overall a well planned layout.
