A question for Voyager vets. My wife and I just returned to cruising after a decade break (bought a condo and did land-based during Covid). Just got back from a great cruise on Celebrity Reflection and we definitely have the cruise itch again. We want to take our grandkids (9, 10, 13) on their first cruise and are looking at Voyager in March 2025--four days to CocoCay and Bimini. The ship looks like a great time. We are ready to book to take advantage of some early booking prices, but stopped when we read recent CruiseCritic reviews. The ship scores VERY poorly, with reviews that make it sound like a bad Chuck E. Cheese. There are multiple negative posts with few positives listed. For anyone who has sailed recently, what is your opinion? Are these criticisms fair? Despite the cool kid things (coasters, laser tag, ice rink), should look elsewhere? Thanks in advance.

Sailing on Reflection next month with Classic Beverage package. I know "beer under $10" is included, but can someone give me an idea of what this may be? Is it Bud/Miller class only or does this extend to a little more upscale variety, e.g., Ales or IPAs? Just trying to get a sense of whether to upgrade. Happy with Bud/Miller at the pool, but sometimes a guy just wants to enjoy a hoppier beer. Thanks for any advice.
