Traveled with children

We went with our adult children and grandchildren. The teens were especially interested in this area and so the itinerary was the deciding factor with a date that all could make. We were generally happy with the cruise but felt that we have had better food and more accurate information from other lines. For example, no maps were available for Latvia. Guest services told us to go to outside vendors to get one. We were not happy with the constant attempt to sell something - water, specialty dining or whatever. We were disappointed in the choice of movies shown - several were inappropriate for the setting and the information provided did not guide parents well in choosing what they would allow their kids to see.The Security staff was not always polite when we returned at different ports. We did not use the teen or children's clubs and I was unaware of them till the end of the cruise. The rooms were fine but our furniture was somewhat worn. We noticed too that dirty glasses were left in public areas for long periods. I understand that guests should not just deposit them at random but I do expect that they be removed by staff in less than 8- 10 hours. Note that there is fine music available on the ship but the noise level is too high and choose your room carefully to avoid being near the central area which can be extremely loud.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

We had a variety of cabins. All were well designed and the staff did a good job caring for them.
