Traveled with children

Took our 8 year old daughter on her 1st cruise, my 7th, my wife's 8th. Went with Disney for the obvious reason: 8 year old daughter.

Embarkation was VERY smooth and fast. Had registered online and been given a 3P check in time. Arrived at port @ 2P and were on the ship by 2:45P. DD running and skipping up the gangway!

Had booked an 8A guarantee. When we received documents we had been upgraded to a Verandah Cabin on deck 7 - room 7030 to be exact. Stateroom 7030 is forward on deck 7, port side. 4th verandah from front. Just slightly back from where the bow of the ship widens out to full width of the ship. Except for 1st night this was a great location. The stateroom is pretty standard. A little small for the 3 of us, but we enjoyed it, especially the verandah. We actually skipped the sail away party and enjoyed the sail away on the verandah, just the three of us - as a family. (My wife and I had never had a verandah/ balcony before so we really enjoyed it.) Seas were a little rough first night, heard reports of some people getting sick. Saw evidence after the fact - ships crew cleaning - evidence of some sick passengers. Rest of cruise was smooth sailing.

Cabin Review

Cabin 8A

Ample closet space, separate toilet and shower. Two sinks. Plugs are awkward and upside down so three prong plugs may not work. Had to unplug the clock radio to plug in a surge protector/ iPod/ iPhone charger. Cabin is small, but useable. Rough seas will equal sea spray when on verandah as cabin is just aft of where ship's body widens out from the bow.
