Family Cruise - Voyager of the Seas

Cruising is back!! My first ocean cruise since Covid and a special little Easter break with hubby and my two boys. It was also our first family holiday abroad since we got married in Cyprus in June 2017! Our home for 3 nights was Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas. Following a £97million refurb, Voyager is welcoming passengers back to the seas again. Without a doubt this is a ship for families, the facilities are endless and for children there is fun to be had deck by deck. There are many restaurants on board, Windjammer café is newly refurbed and offers a fabulous buffet at every meal time. The copious amounts of bacon and spaghetti Bolognese were a definite hit with the kids! The ship has 3 speciality restaurants (Italian, steakhouse and Japanese) unfortunately we have fussy eaters (the children not us) so we didn’t get to experience any of them first hand but our friends opted for Izumi for a taste of Japan and it didn't disappoint, great Sushi and Sashimi options, a fab kids menu and on deck 14 it offers a fantastic view of the ship. Voyager has some seriously cool options...the Flowrider surf simulator is the only one of its kind at sea, the instructors are amazing and will get you riding the waves in minutes. Voyager also offers Laser Tag, and an ice skating rink, arcades, swimming pool and waterslides and a brand new kids club for all ages. My children are 6 and 10 and we allowed our eldest his first taste of independence on the ship knowing he could only be a deck or two away and he absolutely loved it. He very much had his own cruise, made new friends and memories to last a lifetime. My little one was the perfect age for kids club and you can sign them in and out as they please. The fun is not just for kids; the spa, gym, indoor pool and solarium, shows and bars all provide endless options for you to get the most of your time whilst the kids enjoy theirs. The cabin options are also plentiful, we had a balcony cabin which had all the space we needed. Voyager offers so much to do that we were hardly in it and when we were we had enough space to relax and very comfy beds to sleep in. Our itinerary was just Barcelona to Palma and back for 3 nights but Voyager offers some amazing longer itineraries and if you are looking for a family holiday at sea, Voyager is an excellent choice. If you've never experienced a family cruise you would be hard pressed to find a better ship than Voyager, with something for everyone, itineraries to experience different destinations and only unpack once, she's a great choice.
