This was our first cruise for our family of 4 with two being kids aged 5 and 7 the ship is a nice size and the staff are friendly. Meals dining in the Aquarius for dinner remember to book you can do this from 8am the staff in here were really friendy (Nicson our waiter was awesome) great place for dinner with some nights being formal but not all nights. Aquarius dining also does breakfast and lunch both of these no need to book but you can get put with other guests if you want, great way to meet people. Windjammer is the main food place which is always busy but no booking required just rock in and help your self to a buffet. Open most of the day. Izumi Asian (pay for food$ situated top level of ship great service and nice food. Chops Grill (pay for food) you need to book we tried the night we wanted to go and missed out. It's not all about the food.
They have a great kids club were our kids meet great friends. Climbing wall is also worth a go. The main pool is small but relaxing Deck chairs are a problem with people reserving them with towels which is prohibited, But we watched many times this been done for a few hours. So get in early if you want pool side. There is always somewhere to relax on the ship in a quite place if you want. The adults only area is nice. Shows at night we found the ones we went to really good most are kid friendly.
Shore trips if you are tendering in, another words the ship anchors out at sea then make sure you line up for your boat pass early if your not on a ship tour as the ship always gets the people off on booked tours first. We found the tour staff help desk not helpful but seemed to be one joker for us,the others may be ok. Some of the booked tours we went on the guide will try and guide you hwere to eat and buy stuff but it's just a kick back for them, look around we found some really nice places. This ship was great we enjoyed our trip. Our cabin was a balcony one which was nice in the evening
Great room tidy room cleaning great very friendy always had a surprise waiting for the kids
