rocky55 Posted August 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Hi. I am the 11 year old daughter's mother. My daughter is going to take over and this will be her review. We were looking for a review from a child, and could not find one. So I will let her take over. :) Hi. I have been on 4 cruises. I have been on Royal Caribbean, Carnival and Norwegian. I am going on the Getaway tomorrow, Aug 9. I have been on the Breakaway, and I liked it a lot. If you have any questions for me, I would be happy to answer you from a childs point of view. Right now we are in Miami. My mother and I are staying at the Intercontinental. I think the hotel is very nice. Today we went to the Bayside Marketplace. It was ok, it was really hot so it was hard for me to enjoy it. But is was fun to walk around Miami. We are going to sleep soon, so we can get to the ship early. I am so excited to get on the ship tomorrow. I will report on the kids camp, the ports, and the ship. Once again, any questions, please ask.

Zhane's mum Posted August 9, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 9, 2014 The forum needs you!! As a parent of 2 children I find it difficult to research stuff for my kids to do, especially in ports. I look forward to the rest of your review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocky55 Posted August 9, 2014 Author #14 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I am soooooooo excited to get onto the ship. I just can't wait to get out of the hotel and onto the ship!! We (or should I say my mom :) ) is packing up and we are leaving soon. We got hot oatmeal delivered to the room, but I liked my egg sausage and cheese sandwich from the Starbucks in the hotel lobby that we had yesterday better. I will try to write more later from my mom's phone on the ship before we leave. I love doing this because I want to be a author when I am older. :) Tonight we are going to see the magic show early, and than I will go to the kids camp.

Barb Nahoumi Posted August 9, 2014 #15 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Hi, I am so happy that you are writing this review from a kid's point of view. So many parents want to know how the kids enjoy the programing. You will be a great help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkhair1 Posted August 9, 2014 #16 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I wish my boys would want to do this. They have been on a lot of cruises too and could help others, but they have no interest! I am so excited to read your review because we really never hear from a kids perspective. I hope you have a wonderful time!!!!!!!! What ports is your ship going to? Did you book any excursions? What type of room did you get and can you take any pics for us to see? Thank you again for taking time to do this!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise_More_Often Posted August 10, 2014 #20 Share Posted August 10, 2014 You write beautifully. I am really looking forward to reading your review. I have an 11-year-old granddaughter who so far hasn't exhibited any interest in cruising. Maybe reading about your adventure will do the trick. Have a terrific cruise.
