Sail Date: Feb 2008
Traveled with children

Just returned from the Feb 4 - 9 cruise and we loved it.

Everything went very well from the embarkation process, arrived around 11:30AM and on the boat by noon. Had a quick lunch at the Coconut grove and then in our room by 1:30PM. Changed into bathing suits and in the pool and waterslide before the emergency drill. TIP: Bring your camera with you for the drill as the boat will be leaving port just as the drill ends. You will miss some great shots if have to run back to your room, along with everyone else returning their life jackets.

We opted for the basic interior room and were not disappointed. The kids loved their upper sleeping bunks. The in room safe is convenient but is operated by a credit card or any card with a magnetic strip. They warn you not to use your Sail and Sign card as it will lose its info. A bit of a pain to lock up all your valuables except for a credit card which we had to stash in the room. TIP: Bring an expired credit card or bank card to just operate the safe.
