Sail Date: Feb 2009
Traveled with children

We had an exceptionally wonderful time on our most recent cruise. The ship was very nice and the most of the staff were very friendly and helpful. There was plenty of activities on board ship and plenty of food(which is important to a teenage boy). I by accident use the sail and sign card to lock the safe-which inactivated the card, but they took care of that within 1/2 hour. While I was at the info desk, some lady was complaining how her bathroom smelled and something else she didn't like-I got the feeling that she was very picky and a little negative, then she also asked for some dramamine and the ship was barely moving! I did see her again later in the week, no complaints so I guess her problem was solved. There was also food available at the buffet and the Lido deck and Ice cream and pizza-24 hours. I never imagined how much a 14 y.o. could eat- first the meal, then a few snacks of pizza and ice cream throughout the day. The breakfast on the Lido Deck was also good-my son enjoyed the omelet station. We had lunch once in the main diningroom, it was very good and they did accommodate a special request of plain pasta for my 8 y.o. Dinner in the diningroom was excellent. Our waiter Joseph was very good as was his helper. They didn't blink an eye when my husband and son ordered two entrees and after the first time my son ordered double sherbert, it came that way for the rest of the cruise. The Maitre De- George the Greek was always there greeting the guests and very personable. The warm chocolate melting cake was to die for. The weather was also warm and not really a problem finding a chair on deck, may want to put your towel on a chair in morning if you want a special spot. The waterslides were alot of fun and the whole family enjoyed them. My kids did not partake of the kids clubs, which some kids seemed to be enjoying themselves. The shows and entertainment were good. Overall, this was a fun cruise with the family, there were alot of kids/teenagers due to the school vacation, but none were too obnoxious. We would definitely go again.

Cabin Review

We chose an inside room, provided for a great sleep as there is no sunrise to wake you up. We had ajoining rooms. Both rooms had plenty of room to move,and nice tvs. I was surprised to find that they made one room with 2 twin beds and one room with them made into a King for the parents. Rooms and bathrooms were kept very clean. Hallway was quiet most of the time-only heard noise from some kids leaving their rooms. My younger son loved the towel animals that were placed in the rooms each night.
