Good. . . Not Great ONLY Book for the itinerary

Additional details
Several parts of this trip were absolutely perfect - others, not so much.
We booked this trip for the itinerary - 100%! We wanted to take our children around the British isle ... only having to unpack once - etc.
For Families - we've been on several Disney and RCI cruises, which cater to children. (Ours are 10 & 8 at time of traveling). The kids clubs are fine - but they were never open for more than 4/5 hours at a time - in port or sea. Example - the only port that our children stayed on the ship was in Dublin. We wanted to take a tour of the Jameson Factory and Guinness. Having only 4 hours because of kids club time - we didn't have enough time. (unlike the other cruises we've been on - with ports that aren't really "kid friendly")
Cabin Review
Deluxe Balcony
Cabin -- painful! We had what they called a partially obstructed view. It was actually completely obstructed. . . . unless you angle you're head when you're on the balcony.
Bunkbeds came down -- and no way you were getting outside on the balcony. Other than that - it was fine.
