This was a 4 night cruise from Barcelona to Toulon and Ibiza (Saturday overnight at port).
We are a family of 4. My 2 kids are 3.5 year old twins. I did cruise when I was a child with my parents (on the Eugenio C and Royal Viking Sky) but this was my first modern cruise with my family as an adult. My wife had never cruised before and thought cruises were boring, plus she was afraid of sea sickness.
So, this January while looking for summer vacation offers, I found what looked like a good deal for this 4-night cruise. It fell on a holiday weekend, so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to check on cruising. I talked my wife into it, and booked it directly from the RCCL page. Special pricing for kids was the cherry on the cake.
We had an outdoor H class cabin on deck 2 (no balcony). It was perfectly ok. Small but there was space for clothes, we had a sofa to watch TV and 2 additional beds that hung from the ceiling on top of the main bed. The bathroom is surprisingly large, and the shower has hard plastic doors (no curtains). A single window behind the bed let us see the sea and an amazing sunset on day 3.
