We are just home from the most wonderful and relaxing vacation... Our group included myself and my husband (30s), our 4yr old son, and 10 month old daughter. We booked the trip on Tuesday and were on the boat that Saturday. Leaving from NY was very easy for us since we're nearby. The check-in wasn't awful. We arrived at the port around 1:30, check-in started at 1:00. From the time we pulled up to the curb until we boarded the ship was less than an hour.

The price was excellent for interior cabins- we ended up with two double occupancy cabins for less money than all of us staying in a four person cabin. The space was laid out nicely. We had plenty of room to store everything. The beds and linens were very comfortable. The room's decor was cute and cruise theme. The bathroom was the typical shower stall and tiny toilet I expected. We're not the type to spend much time in our cabin and the interior cabin was just fine for us. In fact, not having a window made things easier traveling with a baby. There is a tv in the room which showed live news (MSNBC, BBC, Fox), Nickelodeon, classic movies, current tv sitcoms, and the ship's news and updates.

We really enjoyed dining on this ship. It was easy to feed both of my kids healthy foods. We dined mostly in the Garden Cafe which is the ship's main buffet. They have many options to chose from and it is self-service. We ate in the dining rooms a couple of times and found the menu to be more interesting and a slightly better quality that what was available in the buffet although portions were small. Read more
