Sail Date: Apr 2012
Traveled with children

We took this cruise which sailed on April 11. It was myself, my husband, our four children (ages 3, 5, 8, and 10) and my mom. I was a bit hesitant to do this cruise with the kids, because I didn't think there would be many other children on the ship and I didn't want to be the one family on the whole ship that was disturbing the peace and tranquility of all the other guests! Once we got onboard, I was happy to find that there were a total of 32 children registered for the kids club, which was the perfect amount! Enough so that my kids had people to play with, but not so many that the kids club was ever crowded.

Embarkation was quick and easy. We arrived at the pier at around 1:15, and were on the ship within thirty minutes. There were no long lines to wait in. After we checked in, we just sat in a waiting room while we waited for them to call our embarkation number.

My first impression of the ship was that it seemed smaller than all the other ships we have sailed on. I'm not sure if that is actually true, or if this one is just laid out in such a way as to make it seem smaller and more intimate. There aren't many huge open spaces. Even the atrium area is much smaller than what we are used to seeing. Which wasn't bad at all, just different. There were never any areas that felt crowded, except for the buffet at lunch time. Our cabin was nicely laid out, with plenty of storage. The closet area was huge. Personally I would have preferred a smaller closet and a larger bathroom. I liked the bathrobes, we asked our steward for them on the first night, and she brought them the next morning.
