Additional details
We had twelve people from age 2 to 67 in our party of 12. The water slides and ropes course were very fun everyone in our group (including the two year old on the kids ropes course). Kids also enjoyed the mini golf. The kids spray area was pretty good. The pools are strange. There are only two pools and one is off limits to kids during the day, so the other gets filled with kids. Also, both pools are 5-6.2 ft deep, so no good pool for little kids who can't swim. Lots of hot tubs. Water slides require 40" height and 48" plus 99 lbs for aqua racers (quite a trill). Big Ropes course requires 48" height. We had three 48" boys who all did water slides and ropes course.
Embarkation and disembarkation were a mess. Tons of people and very poor people control.
We were disappointed with the food at the main buffet and service was very slow in the dining rooms.
Cabin Review
Balcony Stateroom
This room was pretty spacious for parents plus a two-year old. Spacious bathroom. Storage was somewhat limited. We had three balconies next to each other and room steward opened the balcony dividers to connect 3 balconies on the first day and let open for the week, which was nice.
Port Reviews
Nassau
Took a taxi to see Atlantis. You used to be able to wander more freely, but now they charge for access to see almost everything, although later in the day we were able to view some areas.
St. Thomas
Great Experience! Kayaking, hermit crabs, saw fish & lobster snorkeling! Great fun for age 2 to 70!
Tortola
Very good! Baths are definitely worth seeing! It gets a little crowded and congested scrambling through the boulders, but great fun, especially for the kids.
