Would this ship be good for 1st time w/daughter?

Hello, we are planing our first cruise ever! We are looking at Sovereign of the Seas in mid Sept., but have some questions.

 

Is Sept a bad month due to storms/hurricanes?

We are also concerned that there will not be a good kids program since most are in school at that time. Our daughter will be 9 and doesn't play video games. She likes arts/crafts, water and is highly active/adventures

 

Any help/recommendations of other ships, and tips are appreciated! We have looked at Disney but they are so much more.

 

Thanks,:)

1st time on a cruise but widely traveled on land.

Hi, I replied to your question posted on the First time cruise question forum. Check over there.

I've done Sovereign twice in September and was able to avoid hurricanes both times :)

 

Hurricane season actually runs from June till November and we even had a hurricane this past December hit the Carribean...so you just never know.

 

Usually on ships with shorter itineraries like Sovereign, you are bound to find more kids, no matter the time of year.

 

If this is your first cruise then you will love Sovereign. We did. It's hard to go back to her now because we are used to all of the bells/whistles of the new ships. But she is a wonderful ship.
