My party consisted of me (Mum, husband and daughter aged 9. My daughter is a huge Disney Princesses fan and I am a huge fan of cruises. We have sailed with Royal Caribbean and Carnival several times.

So when the bargain prices were offered for this repositioning cruise, I couldn't ignore it and booked it straight away.

It didn't help that we were directed by a member of staff to the wrong check in desk. A group in front of us that were also given the check in desk made a point of discussing it loudly with another member of staff. The next thing I saw was the poor woman who gave the wrong information being shepherded away by colleagues! After that we were checked in within 45 minutes. The plan left on time and the flight was smooth and uneventful. Just how I like it.
