Will keep this short: had a cruise with extended family from bayonne to bermuda. Parking and boarding the ship were fine. and the room that slept 4 was adequate though a bit small - the boat is also aging, carpets worn, etc... but not horrible.

We did like the service from the waitstaff and the host. And our kids (6,8 and 10) had a great time with the Adventure Ocean staff - that was the nicest surprise and biggest plus for the trip. Looked to me like the younger teens also had fun that participated in the program.

Now for the bad - the food at best was a C+. The buffets had lots of food but nothing really all that great. Salads were ok, but limited toppings, and the hot food was hit or miss. I thought the burgers were gross, but the fries did taste pretty good. The breakfast buffet style food of eggs/pancakes/french toast were all pretty disappointing. You really need to have them make an omelet or better yet some fried eggs. Buffets also were messy - a grabbed a dirty dish once off of what were supposed to be clean plates.
