Thanks for everyone's comments. Essiesmom, I'm looking at doing a Eastern Caribbean cruise from Orlando or Miami. I would have preferred a 10 night but this limits me on ships, so I'm happy to compromise for 7 days if it's the right ship for us. This would be for April 2020 so the flights can't be included at this stage. Does anyone have a guide price on how much flights are from Gatwick or Heathrow to Orlando/Miami? 

Thankyou 

Rae

Hi

Sorry for the title, just wanted to capture people as there is similar topic on here but with different requirements.

Earlier I was comparing 2 cruise lines & the comments received have helped me review things more. There is very mixed reviews on all cruise line's, so I have have put my list together to see what everyone else would suggest based on your experiences. We are a family ranging from 40-60's and 2 teenagers. We have chosen the Caribbean area but realise I may have to compromise on the number of nights to get the right ship.

 

We would definitely like the following:

Balcony

Drinks Package

Large Modern Ship

Plenty of choice for restuarants & bars

Views of the sea when relaxing in the evening

Good Service

Minimum extra charges

Some activities for our teenage children

Casino

 

Our stay would be over the Easter period (school holidays for the UK), should I be concerned with space and queue's on any particular cruise line?

The newest ships maybe out our price range so alternatives covering the above would be great?

What would be the extra charges occurred?

 

I look forward to any help on this, Thank you Rae

 

 

Hi

I do apologise if I am on the wrong forum, I am a newbie at cruise's. I am currently looking at booking one of these ships for a Caribbean cruise. Could anyone give me the pro's & con's for both ships. We would be a family of 6, ages range from Teenagers, 40's & 60's. We look eating, drinking and plenty of evening entertainment. We would also like to have area's to drink/dine outside or with ocean views. I have heard the Royal Caribbean cruises cater for families very well but would i be disappointed with the activities for teenagers on the Reflection?

I would really appreciate any comments to help me decide.

Thank you 

Rae
