This is the feedback thread for the MNers and MN bloggers who attended the MN event onboard Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas in Southampton on October 15.
The event was specifically for folks who had considered a cruise with their family but never been on one as Royal Caribbean wanted to showcase what they can offer for a family holiday.
Royal Caribbean say: "Thank you so much for coming along to join us on one of the world's biggest and most innovative ships for this one off event. We know there are lots preconceived ideas about cruise holidays and we aimed to show you what a holiday with Royal Caribbean is really like by inviting Mumsnetters who have never been on a cruise before to come onboard to see for themselves and discover the seven incredible neighbourhoods, each home to countless unique activities and experiences."
So attendees - please share generally with other MNers your experiences of the day and also answer the following questions.
Please also post your photos to the thread!
- What experience or facility did you find onboard that you didn't expect?
- What were your highlights of the day?
- You chatted to lots of people onboard. Now imagine you and your family are going on holiday on a Royal Caribbean cruise - what facility / experience would your children be most excited about and what would you be looking forward to most?
- What did you think of the facilities onboard for families: please think about food, drink, relaxation, kids etc?
- After your experience on Oasis of the Seas, would you consider going on a cruise for a family holiday? If so, why? If not, why not?
- Overall, if it came up in conversation, would you recommend going on a cruise to your friends and family? If so, why? If not, why not?
Please note quotes from the thread as well as from the day, along with your photos and video may be used by Royal Caribbean on their website, on their blog, on social media and possibly elsewhere.
Thanks,
