This was our 3rd cruise, second with the kids and it was by far the best. New ship was beautifully decorated, very clean and easy to get around. Camp Carnival area was VERY spacious- our kids are 5 and 8 and they thoroughly enjoyed camp- day & night. Easter week was a bit crowded, so there were plenty of unhappy campers walking around at 11am on the "Fun Days at Sea" because there were no chairs to lounge in. We were up early so we didn't have a problem.

Food selection was great at Rosie's - as well as the oriental station, deli (reuben sandwiches, fresh rolls) and pizza bar. Our dining room was the Lincoln- although decorated in PINK, a little tacky, the food was great, the wait staff was excellent (LAWEE) and the dining staff performed every night just before dessert. The entertainment was the best we've seen on a ship too. The Friday night show was by far the best- a tribute to the 80's "Far from Over"- 2 comedians- Jim Brick was good, the other wasn't though.

Lots of bars- not tucked away from the rest of the world though, so you could enjoy music and people watching. Staterooms were decent size, we were on Riviera- not by choice. Some nights it was a bit rough, both kids were sick from the motion. Cabin stewards were very attentive and I miss them already! Who else would pick up after you and your kids (and husband) twice a day & still smile?!?! Read more
