Let's start by saying the ship is very nice. I like the smaller ships.

We were a little disappointed that the water slides were not open at first on Monday the day we left port. They opened the pool and all the drunks were in there and the kids could not get in to enjoy it. On Tuesday, the water slides were open and the kids had a blast. All day on the slides and in Camp Carnival. They got to build their own stuffed animals for a fee. The enjoyed that. By Wednesday, the day we arrived in Cozumel, the slides were closed again for the remainder of the cruise. Not sure why. So, no pool (because of the drunks) or slides to play on. We did go into Cozumel and had a great time. On Thursday, we went to Key West and came back to the boat hoping to play on the slides again, but still closed. The pool had less people but the kids did not enjoy it much.

The food was just okay. I've been on other cruises that the food was outstanding. I was hoping for better food but was not impressed at all. It was very bland. My son ate chicken tenders every night because he did not like it either. Breakfast and lunch were spent up at the buffet because at least we could find something we liked. Bertram was our waiter in the 'Anytime' dining at night. He was outstanding. He went above and beyond our expectations.

Cabin Review

Our room was U90. It was a Grand Extended Suite. Very nice inside. Our Cabin Steward was very helpful every day and night. We had a jacuzzi tub in our room. Bad part was the water that came from the faucet looked like pee. It was brown. Buy bottled water to drink. the balcony was awesome. We had 2 lounge chairs as well as a table with 2 chairs. Very nice and relaxing.
