We were a family group of 14 - myself and DH (60's) our 3 children and spouses (30's & 40's) and 6 grandchildren (2-7). We have been on many cruises but this was the first for our children and grandchildren. Each family had two connecting cabins so they could put their children to sleep and still have a cabin for themselves. That worked out great.
The worst part of the trip was the embarkation. We arrived at the pier at Noon. There were lines of people a block long and this was outside in the hot sun. It took almost an hour to get inside the building. In over 40 cruises from Miami and Ft Lauderdale I have never had to wait outside the terminal. The children were all getting cranky. It was not a great way to start a vacation. We were finally on the ship around 1:30 and the lines at the buffet were very long. I seriously thought this family vacation was going to be a disaster!
Thankfully everything got much better after that. The children all loved the camp and we could hardly get the boys out when we wanted to be with them! The girls also enjoyed the camp but they also loved the shows, dancing and karaoke.
