Just got off the Destiny April 5-10th on a 5-night cruise with stops in Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay, and Nassau. We loved every minute of it! This is a FABULOUS ship. Very, very clean (the staff works unbelievably hard on this). Also, I didn't see even ONE maintenance problem on-board, although others have commented on this. No sewage smells, either (although that can happen on any ship).

Our toddler and 13-year-old loved the Camp Carnival activities. There were 1700 kids on-board with 11 counselors, but the camps were never too crowded for my kids' age groups. Our 3 year old begged us to take him to camp as soon as he woke up and he CRIED when we came and got him. The counselors were wonderful! Our 15-year-old went to the camp orientation and didn't really connect with any of the kids there, so he mostly stayed with us (which we loved, actually).

The ports were awesome. We chose this itinerary because we wanted a low-key family vacation with little stress. We're not really into a lot of shopping, partying, etc. What we really wanted was time on the beach with our kids and we definitely got it!
