I am considering booking a cruise for August or October this year, two adults and two children who will be seven and four.
After having a really crappy year with medical issues, we want to have a big special holiday after years of not doing anything more exciting than Butlins and Haven!
Budget is up to £5k for 14 days and we would want to sail from Southampton just so we don't have the hassle of flying out as well.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a cruise that would be family friendly?
Also in terms of rooms, I noticed some have pull down bunks which look quite high up so is there any cruises that have more suitable bedding?
Thanks

We've been on several cruises, admittedly in term time so virtually no children aboard and no visible entertainment laid on for children. Certainly the evening shows were geared up for adults. I think you'll be disappointed.
