Round Australia, 4th November 2012

Voyager of the Seas was the first Royal Caribbean ship that I ever went on, having previously only travelled with NCL. I went with my wife, my mum and my brother. My mum doesn't travel much so it was a treat to her to be able to try out so many activities and sample the diversity in food at the same time. She loved it. For me, the ship is at the optimum size possible, not too big, not too small. There's a lot of public spaces to sit, yet the passenger capacity is not so big that it gets overcrowded wherever you go. The waiting time for dinner or the seating time for shows were acceptable, unlike the larger ships. My mum loved the high street, it was almost unbelievable for her that a ship can be as big as the entire street where she lives. Despite not having some of the flashy things like the wave machine, it didn't concern us as there are more than enough for the ship to keep us entertained for the 2 weeks or so we were onboard. The dining room was extremely grand, the theatre was massive and the skate rink was cosy. For me who has only made 8 cruises all on different ships, the Voyager of the Seas is my favourite.
