For my first cruise, I was pretty impressed with the outcome. The food was good (all except for the pizza, that tasted like crayons), the restaurants open all night were great! Like after teen club ended at about 1am you could go up and get something and bring it back to your room. The people on the ship were very nice and the workers were great, waking up in the morning and getting a dozen "good morning"'s. I loved all the hand sanitizer dispensers! they were so convenient. I'm not much of a germ freak but it was nice being clean all the time. The teen dance parties were a lot of fun as well. Things I didn't like were the key card system of paying because it was so easy for someone to pick up your card and make tons of charges, especially you kids charging things to your account without you even knowing! My brother racked up $1000 worth of drinks in 7 days. I also didn't like their system of loading the boats to go to the islands, they took forever and when you were later in line then it took forever to get to the island since the first people would miss their boat then take your seat in line. Most of all, I hated the teen "activities"! if I wanted to play Wii, I would have stayed home. The movies weren't that great, and show me a teen that wants to do stupid little activities! For real, I don't want to go play an egg drop game or the Wii or other things. Other than that, the trip was amazing.
hidden charges, boring activities for teens, great shows, great food, new friends
