Traveled with children

Here it is in a nutshell. We traveled with two kids (age 5 and 11) and 4 adults. We had 3 cabins all lower level 1 with ocean view.

Highlights

1) If you are a true foodie sign up for the Chefs Table. Its $75 per person and worth every penny. They only do it once or twice on the cruise and its limited to 14 people. Sign up as soon as you get on board. You get a private tour of the kitchen (which was amazingly clean and enormous), appetizers in the kitchen and then a 10 course (or somewhere around that number) meal that includes white and red wine. We did this on my birthday and it was the best part if the entire ship. The food on the ship was good (above average in the dining rooms and middle of the road at the buffet). We are not buffet people so we either ate breakfast in the dining room every day or ordered room service. Do yourself a favor and sign up for early dining if you have kids. We ate at 6 every night and we were done by 7:30. Big shout out to Viktoria our waitress....she was simply the best and was one of the highlights of our trip.

Cabin Review

Cabin 1262...near the elevator.....Riviera deck level 1. Could hear the elevator ding at night. At times it was noisy but we wanted to be near the elevator as we were traveling with someone with limited walking ability.
