Oosterdam Mexican Riviera with kids?

[haywood]

Hi....it's me again. Has anyone recently taken this cruise with kids? Any words of wisdom? Thanks :)

I will be in a couple of months. We're looking forward to it...already booked a horseback riding excursion (that includes our 2.5 year old and 10 year old) in Mazatlan. I hope some recent returning cruisers will respond to your post!

We are taking our two 18 year old son's with us in March, should be a great time!

My wife and I are taking our two boys, 13 and 11, on the 3/26 cruise with Pete and Cat! We're not being that helpful, are we Haywood? But seriously, while we haven't done this particular cruise with kids, we have cruised the Caribbean, Alaska and Transatlantic with our boys since they were 6 and 4 and every cruise has been unforgetable for all of us! My 11-year old son Jamie is especially excited about the fishing at the Mexican ports, it's supposed to be fantastic. I also understand that the kid's facilities on the Oosterdam have been recently upgraded, especially the teens areas.

Happy cruising everyone!
