Let me start off by saying that there were a few memorable and exciting experiences. Like my daughter participating in the Dr. Suess parade and also at story time. She got to break dance on stage, but all of this came from the camp (which she and her friend that we bought along loved). I really enjoyed the trivia games on deck 5. I played with my parents and it was pretty fun. The shows in the Encore theater were pretty good. We had an ocean suite on the Empress deck. I expected it to be bigger. It was kind of hard not to bump into things while we were in the room. That's if we were not bumping into each other. Our stewardess Nee was nice. The fridge never got cold. She told us it was more like a cooler to keep things at the temperature it was at already. Never heard of that but ok. I expect more of a variety from the buffet. We ended up eating pizza or burgers everyday because there was not much of a option on the regular buffet. The drinks are over priced. You can hardly taste the liquor. The professional picture are always beautiful but way too high to buy them all. We bought what we could, which still ended up being like $300 worth of pictures which could've been money for an excursion.

We loved Mahogany Bay. It was beautiful & the magical flying chairs were awesome. We ate at a spot on the beach. The service was good but the food was cold and we were ran off by honey bees. That was aggravating! Considering we spunt $100 for cold food that we had to stop eating and pack up before 1 of the kids got stung. Belize was ok. We took a train tour with Tony. He was awesome. When we went to Cozumel, we caught a ride on a van with a man named Berto that took us to a beach. It was like a 5 minute drive. I was disappointed to be in Mexico on a beach where I could not see the bottom of the beach. The water was dirty and salty. I didn't understand because exciting the ship the water was perfect, clear, blue & breath taking. Which is why we were in a rush to get to the beach. Anyways, it was a nice family experience.
