Today we depart this gorgeous ship. It's the largest cruise ship in the world. That title will be lost when the Symphony of the Seas sets sail in a few months. It's the same design, just a few feet longer. Our cruise has 6,347 passengers with over 700 children. If you don't like kids, this isn't the line for you. They are well behaved and there is so much for them to do on board. The only times I notice them is meal time. RCCL has a program you can choose "my time family dining". You eat in a special area of the dining room. When you at served your appetizer, the children get their main course. As soon as they finish a staff member escorts them to the children's activity area where they stay until you pick them up. Kids love the activity area. When we had Chef's Table one of the couples said they were sailing with their one and three year old! They put the kids to bed at 7:30, ordered babysitters for 7:50 and had dinner reservations at 8:00. Apparently babysitting is $20 an hour, done by both a male and female at the same time. Their kids had no idea mom and dad left them with a babysitter! This cruise has more strollers than wheel chairs or scooters!
