We left Miami on the cruise ship in great sunny weather (Mar2nd-9, 2008). It was our first family cruise and we found the freestyle dining suited us perfectly. The ship was beautiful and easy to navigate. The cabin for 4 of us was spacious, the bed was almost king sized for the 2 of us and the kids couch area was a decent size. We LOVED having the large balcony.
Embarkation; was easy once we figured out what "lattitudes" meant and that that was the wrong line for us. The room stewards/ service staff were great.
Children's Programs; we have 2 kids 3, and 9 yrs and they both enjoyed evenings at the kids club (and we enjoyed the dining time also). The kids crew staff were very helpful and friendly.
