Cabin: Family Balcony
Traveled with children

We had a family suite for 2 adults and 2 older teens. It was very crowded and difficult to maneuver. The ac was not good. It was very hot at times. The layout was awkward as the bath and shower are right at the door. There was ample storage, but when the bunk bed is down, it blocks access to some storage. It was nice having a balcony as it added space.

This is not an all inclusive cruise. You are nickel and dimed at every turn. Even the free restaurants have menu items that are additional charges. Like $20 and $25, then add tax add 18% gratuity. Gone are the days of lobster dinners on your cruise. Unless you want to pay for it. The coffee is horrible, then I realized that they are selling quality coffee at $3.00 plus tx and 18% gratuity.

The buffet was average as well as the Manhattan room which became repetitive. We tried Shanghai and were disappointed by under cooked dumplings and flavorless soups.
