This was one of the best family vacations I have taken. When you get on the Ship, ensure you-
1) Take in ALL the shows (see more on this below)
2) Get off at ALL the ports (see Ports review below and also in Ports Critic)
Whatever you do, if you can afford it, get a stateroom with a BALCONY. You can't beat this view and facility. We stayed in stateroom 7214, right in front on the starboard side. The port side stateroom is 7514 I think- try to get one of these. If possible try to the "14" or "54" series -- right in the front on either port or starboard side. Please check with your Travel agent.
The stateroom is very comfortable. Ensuite bathroom is cozy but comfortable manouverable room. Good shower. Good exhaust.
The room is like any hotel room- for the four of us we were very very comfortable. My kids had a sofa bed, which Christian (our stateroom attendant and a GREAT guy) set up every evening. Good TV. Comfortable beds. Spacious room. I'll take this anyday I come back to the Ship!
