[quote=Anonymous]I did!  We went with three families, a total of 5 kids.  (This is important because at the time we had an only child and it was really nice for her to have friends on the boat.)  They all liked the kids' club, not in the "never want to leave" sense but we could go to the early show, feed them dinner and then a parent would take them all down to the club and the grownups got a good 2-3 hours in the evening of adult time with no kids to watch.  The shows were really good, the dinner entertainment was fun, and the ship was nice (we went on the oldest one, the Magic, but it had recently come out of dry dock and I had no complaints).  And compared to a trip to Disneyworld it was so much easier in terms of planning and stress levels.

The food is not particularly good, but it's not terrible.  The service was good but one problem I noticed is that since everyone relies on tips, there was very little incentive to correct badly behaved kids.  I don't mean like, too loud or running in the way, I mean there were kids laying on the stairs at one point right where they could be tripped over by someone coming around the bend (and getting hit in the eyes with the sun, so missing the obstacles) and no crew member would tell them to move because their parents might be offended and get the CM in trouble.  I don't blame the CMs because it's a problem of perverse incentives, not personal responsibility.[/quote]
