We chose this cruise because it fit in with my son's high school graduation dates plus it allowed us to take in 2 days at Universal Studio's and Island of Adventures. We were in GS102 so we had priority boarding and we walked straight up to the gangway. There was a bit of a line to get in but it was all good - we were on vacation!

It was our first time in a Grand Suite and it had lots of room for me and my three kids (ages 18-22). Clarence kept our room nice a neat and was always very helpful. We took advantage of the laundry (1 bag @ $15 - we had three) since we were heading straight to Universal after the cruise. The laundry was back the same day - very nice!

We were initially at a table for 10 - late seating but my daughter wanted us to be at a table for 4, so we asked to be moved our first day prior to dinner. Well the other ladies at the table were all college age girls, so my son's were pretty disappointed our request went through. So the rest of the cruise we were at a table for four - but our waiters were wonderful! Read more
