questions about RCI

[broncorckcrwlr]

Hello all. First I have sailed on RCI before but it was many years ago and I had a bad experience so We have been sailing Carnival ever since. Unfortunately Carnival is no longer doing cruises over 5 days out of Tampa so we are looking around for another line. I'm not going to hold my bad experience against them as it was partly my fault so I'd like some info and or opinions on sailing RCI. We will have 2 grandsons with us 14 & 10. They loved the kids activities on Carnival and I'm hoping that other lines have good stuff for them as well. Unhappy kids = unhappy papaw. All info welcomed and appreciated.

Need to be more specific as to what information your looking for and/or what questions you need answered.

Having done both cruise lines with kids I'd say both have top notch kids programs. Carnival with their slides probably have an advantage with the water related activities but RCCL has a ton of other things to do and really do a great job with entertaining them. I can say with almost absolute certainty they will love what RCCL has to offer.
