soccerstar1288 Posted April 28, 2007 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Hi everybody...I am thinking about taking the Serenade of the Seas to the Southern Caribbean in December. I have always gone with Princess and I like the line but I was wondering would I like RC? Are there alot of kids onboard during the week before christmas? I am going with my wife, son (20) daughter (27) her BF (27) and my sister! Thanks -Joe :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHCruisin Posted April 28, 2007 #2 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Serenade is a beauty. Lots of glass. Well laid out. I was on her the week after Thanksgiving. There were some kids, couple hundred at most, but we hardly ever saw them. I would think there would be a lot more Christmas week, than the week before. Less expensive to cruise then too! The southern itinerary is great. I've sailed Princess before. I enjoyed it, but I think you'll find a RCI a little more active. RCI does have the adults only Solarium, so if you're looking to get away from kids, that's the place to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabean Posted April 28, 2007 #3 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Great ship. You'll love it. I can't tell you about the kids on board though. The only time I cruised at that time was on Carnival on a 5 night cruise - got home Christmas Eve - and I didn't notice any kids. There must have been some but they didn't stand out or cause a disruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elleluv Posted April 28, 2007 #4 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I think you made a great choice! :) Serenade is a beautiful ship and that is a fantastic itinerary. We booked that same cruise for winter 2008/2009 earlier this week. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted April 28, 2007 #6 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Don't worry about kids too much--except around the main pool, you will hardly notice them! We generally sail in the spring (when multiple schools are on break) so kids are a certainty! We've never been bothered or inconvenienced at all! There are sooooo many places that the kids like to be (where adults don't go) that they are in a world unto themselves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted April 28, 2007 #10 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Serenade is a beautiful ship with a great itinerary. I don't think that you could possibly end up being disappointed with this choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going with my wife, son (20) daughter (27) her BF (27) and my sister! Thanks -Joe :) I've cruised many times with both RC and Princess. Princess has more to do overall than RC, but I think that RC production shows are better. No comment on food; too subjective Pia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheik Posted April 28, 2007 #12 Share Posted April 28, 2007 The Serenade is my favourite ship, it's so elegant and beautiful! You'll love her and her crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No comment on food; too subjective Pia I don't think I have ever read a post in the past that said Princess had more to do on board than RCI. That is a very interesting opinion. Could you elaborate?
