Verdict
Royal Caribbean delivers all that it says and more – the experience is thrilling, it is extraordinary – it’s almost more about being on the ships than it is about visiting the destinations. Four Star plus in terms of accommodation and service but it’s all about the activities and experiences on offer. Ideal for teenagers and children of all ages. Playgroups include Fisher-Price Aqua Babies and Aqua Tots for 6- to 36-month-old’s and there are similar clubs to cater for all ages.
