This cruise was amazing! We traveled on the 7 night eastern Caribbean cruise from Port Canaveral. I have sailed out of NYC, Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, this is by far the easiest travel port that I have experienced. Parking is easy and close by and the port is well organized.

I traveled with my two and a half year old son, and we had a wonderful time! We had a promenade room which he enjoyed for people and parade watching. The parades were great! as were the character appearances. The splash pool was perfect for him! Please note that the kids are supposed to be potty trained in the splash pool (no swim diapers allowed). The pool deck did get very crowded on sea days, but we arrived early each day and it did not feel overcrowded.

The main dining room was child friendly and very accommodating, offering a children's menu with several choices. (we had the early dinner seating). I brought coloring books to dinner to entertain him during the wait... but there were other families with ipads. We frequented the café promenade for snacks. We did not eat at the Wind Jammer due to difficulty of carrying plates and finding a table with a small child. The character breakfast was fun! The ice show was wonderful!

Our cabin was clean and very comfortable for the two of us.

Port Reviews

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

Excellent port to sail from!

St. Thomas

AMAZING! Beach was gorgeous! Chairs and drinks were provided. Not crowded at all. Made it easy to keep an eye on my little one.

St. Maarten

We took the Rendezvous beach excursion to Orient Beach. It was VERY crowded... water was beautiful, but I prefer something more secluded.
