This was my husband and I's 5th cruise, but our first time bringing our daughters (ages 8 & 3). We were a little apprehensive about bringing the kids, but WOW did we ALL have a fabulous time!
Embarkation: A breeze. From arrival to the port to stepping on the ship I would estimate about 30minutes.
HURRICANE MATTHEW!: We were supposed to go to Nassau, Coco Cay, & Key West, but instead ended up with 2 days at Sea and a trip to Cozumel! We didn't really care about the change in itinerary, since it meant that we were going to have great weather, and of course be safe! We also had no issue with having our pre-paid excursion $ refunded.
