This is our 4th family cruise ( once on Princess, once on Holland America and 2nd on NCL)
We saved up so we could splurge on a 'Haven' suite. Well worth the money, especially since we were traveling over spring break. The Haven area, with it's private pool, sun deck and restaurant is a welcome respite from the crowds. My two (preteen) boys, still liked to venture out to the main pool where all of the actions fun pool games took place.
We knew going in that the ship would be crowded, the lines for the main tube water slide were lengthy, but moved fairly quickly. My husband and I did the 'drop' water slide and it was an exhilarating Rush! The ropes course was incredible, and the lines moved quickly. Where else can you zip line over the ocean? My 11 year old son was brave and walked 'the plank' at sea!
Beautiful and spacious
