Creator's Key Takeaways
I think Royal Caribbean probably cater for children on board better than any other cruise line.
The Salarium, lovely place to relax, but it it's more about that family entertainment I feel as a venue these days.
We did enjoy it. I wouldn't say it lived up to its high price tag, but it didn't disappoint.
Getting a seat in a bar was a big challenge on on this cruise.
