Adriatic Cruise, The ship, June 2011

After a long drive to Venice from Heidelberg, we finally made it on the boat. Parking and dropping off our bags to be put onto the ship was a little confusing, but we made it. We had a nice (but small) room with a balcony on Royal Caribbeans, Voyager of the Seas. We were so excited to explore the amenities, food, and attractions on the ship. Caden loved the kids club. The pools were ok. The baby pool was small, but and a bit too deep. The big pools were very cold. The water was chlorinated salt water, which really stung if it got in your eyes.  The food was excellent; we were very excited that there was a daily selection of Indian food (since that is one of our favorite kinds). Eating meals in the dining room versus the buffet had some perks (better food that was brought to you), but also proved to be a challenge in entertaining the kids with all the waiting time. We found the iphones and ipads invaluable. Alcohol was expensive and you weren't allowed to bring it on board with you, like you were on the Disney Cruise. Having an ice skating rink on board was totally cool. Caden went ice skating for the first time ever. I also went rock climbing for the first time. The mini-golf and rollerblading courses both left a little to be desired.
