Let me get this out of the way: This was our second cruise as a family of 4 (10 and 6 year old kids) and our 5th one as a couple. On ANY cruise you're going to have lines for the buffet, people reserving deck chairs, some passengers with different definitions of "personal space", overpriced drinks, upcharges for seemingly everything and people who have their own dress codes! However, this is the BEST vacation ever for our family and we'd do it again tomorrow!
Embarkation was easy, other than a few lines and a camera that didn't work for our SeaPass cards.
Ship is beautiful! We had adjoining rooms on the 7th floor and it worked perfectly for our family—inside rooms (not in them much) and 2 bathrooms, plus the kids have their own space, TV to control and Mom & Dad aren't totally annoyed by the mess. Ship is big, plenty of spaces, we loved the Promenade and the Sports Court deck.
Adjoining cabin with 7491, great for a family of 4. Very quiet location, fair distance from elevators--so it was a bit of a walk, but not noisy. Loved deck 7 for convenience. Would book again if available.
