First time cruising. It was myself and 2 children (2 and 14). Getting onto the ship was fairly easy. The inside stateroom at the front of the ship was very roomy, as was the bathroom. There was a ton of storage in the closet, with little nooks to organize. I have no complaints about the room itself. However if you aren't the type that parties all night this room was horrible. I usually went to bed around 1030-1130 and I would hear the music and sirens from the bar which was on the other side of the ship and down a level. It was so loud and clear I could sing along. After that bar was closed down you would hear the casino for the rest of the night.

The daycare was great for the 2 year old. She wasn't potty trained so I got a beeper and they would page me to change her. It was annoying a couple of times when I would make it to the gym and get the page 20 mins after I dropped her off. Kids can't be in the daycare without parents on board so forget taking an excursion that isnt 2 year old friendly. She also couldnt use the pool facilities. No swimmies allowed. The 14 year old had alot of fun and kept herself busy with the onboard itinerary.

We ate at Raffles and The Garden Room. The 14 year old didn't want to do anything but that buffet. It was really good and they changed up the selection for lunch and dinner. Read more
