We drove to Ft. Lauderdale and stayed in a hotel the night before. We traveled with 6 people. My wife and 4 children aged 22, 19, 16, and 7. This was our first cruise and we all had a great time. The crew was fantastic and really made the family feel special.
Our main housekeeper, Made (that's his name- pronounced ma-day), and other housekeeping really took care of our rooms. They were each very pleasant every time we talked. They changed our mattresses and donated the old mattress in Honduras.
Our head waiter was Frances in the Monet dining room. He made each night feel like a night out on the town. He got my 19 year old daughter to dance with them - that turned into a great video. He also helped entertain my 7 year old. We all loved the food - amazing and we tried almost everything.
Very nice and comfortable. We had both interior (for kids) and ocean view for my wife and I. Interior was a little tight with suitcases and 4 people. Our ocean view was very nice and had good layout.
