This was our first cruise with our three children, ages 3, 7, and 12. We were a little nervous as to how the kids would fare being on a boat for 5 nights, and except for a few minor issues, everyone had a great time!

Embarkation was a snap! We were allowed to check in shortly after 11:00AM. The kids loved the cookies and lemonade in the terminal.
