We spent X-Mas 2018 on the Allure of the Seas.  We were a party of 20 with 9 kids ranging from 5 to 17.

We were very disappointed with the youth programs for all ages.  The staff was not friendly, the activities were boring and even the space was lackluster.  Our kids began to call it "Kid Jail"  (These same kids loved Disney and NCL kids' clubs)

I know it has since gone to dry-dock so I'm wondering if they've improved the facility to match what other cruise lines are doing in their kids' clubs.

We are looking to book for X-Mas 2019 and are hesitant to book RCL for these reasons.

Can anyone share most recent kids' experiences?

Our WHOLE family takes a cruise every other year for Christmas.

There are 20 of us and we love to eat dinner all together; usually two large tables next to each other.

Is this possible with NCL freestyle dining?
