Sailed to the southern caribbean January 18-30th out of NYC. Family of four with two small children,ages 4 & 2. We shared a balcony room which was small but adequate. Balcony was small but quite relaxing. Room steward was good and kept the room clean. Hallways are ridiculously narrow. Good luck pushing strollers or wheelchairs down the hallway when room stewards are making up the rooms. The food was good but started getting old after while eating the same things. The service in the dining rooms was very very slow. Room service was a good alternative when the kids were napping around lunch or dinner time. Never had to wait too long for the room service meals. Plus it was nice to enjoy a meal without hundreds of people around. Shows were ok however not for the kids. The splash academy was great and the staff was very friendly. The team nick crew was awesome and had alot of different activities planned throughout the trip. The spongebob pool and splash park was the highlight of the ship for my kids. Its where we spent most of our time while on board. For me, the waterslides were my favorite thing to do. The lines were never long. The rope course was fun to try but rarely open. The mini golf was fun. The atrium, where most of the indoor entertainment was held, was way too crowded. Never could find a place to sit to watch anything. All the chairs were always occupied by senior citizens camping out all day and night in them. The casino which took up almost all of deck 7, in the middle of everything, was disgusting with the smell of cigarettes. I never saw more than half the machines being used. I don't know why the made the casino so big and so poorly placed. The port of calls were beautiful. Paid a taxi driver at every port to give us a tour of the island and then bring us to the beach. Never had any issues and worked out alot cheaper than ship shore excursions. St. Kitts was my favorite and St. Martin was a close second. In conclusion, it was a good trip for the family. There are alot of people on board so be patient. RELAX your on vacation! I read alot of negative reviews about this ship but those were probably just negative people. A good cruise is what you make out of it. So enjoy, we did.

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom

Cabin BD

Family of four fit, small but adequate. Clean. Balcony small but relaxing. Enough storage space for all of us. Bed was closer to balcony so made getting into the closet easier. Pullman bed from the ceiling but we didn't use it. Bathroom served its purpose. You can see the firework display from the balcony.
