Traveled with children

This was our first time cruising, we took our 2 kids both under 10. The ship was great, the water park and kids water fun zone are nicely done. The open slide was boring so you can skip it. The blue tunnel slide was fun. Didn't try the freefall as it looked too adventurous. On the plus side the lines were fairly short every time.

Note the kids pool is 5 ft deep which is odd considering your average "child" is usually less tall than that. Not sure why they designed it that way but don't let your kids go unsupervised in this pool. The entire pool deck was always crowded and it was difficult to find an empty chair to keep your towel and things.

The ropes course was terrifying and amazing at the same time. Do go on it and definitely try the zip line, it was awesome and we did it twice. The wind was intense on our 1st run but that's part of the thrill.

Port Reviews

Nassau

Atlantis is overpriced. There are not too many rides but all are great though.

St. Thomas

tour was great but too short. Better to go on your own as you can spend plenty of time at the beach.

St. Thomas

amazing views from the top

Tortola

nice beach, plenty of chairs and drinks available. did the banana boat ride which was a lot of fun. There are plenty of other activities here if you like water sports.
