We headed to Galveston the night before from Austin and stayed at the Sheraton Four Points. This was the best idea because it took us 6 hours from Austin due to the Houston traffic. Woke up Thursday morning nice and fresh. My wife and I parked the car at EZ parking a were immediately shuttled to the ship. My 6 and 8 year old (girls) stared at the ship for a minute in amazement.It only took us 15-20 to board the ship - I was amazed. We headed to the Lido deck for lunch and then toured the boat. Luggage arrived around 2:00. We should have wore our swim suits onto the ship - lesson learned. I was getting very annoyed with the waiters asking me to buy the drink of the day every 60 seconds. We all had dinner in the dining room that night. Instead of boring you with a minute by minute write-up I'll switch to likes and dislikes.Like- Kids loved Camp Carnival- Kids didn't want to eat dinner with us last two nights rather eat with friends made at CC.- Kids loved the Water slides- Hot Chocolate- Our room was set-up perfectly for us. One pull down bed and one trundle bed plus our King size bed- Serenity Deck for the adults- Mini golf- Photo opportunities - we got a great family photo on elegant night and it was only $22- Getting off the boat (last day) - kids watched Mega-mind in the Sapphire lounge and didn't mind the wait.- Breakfast- Room Stewart and Waiters/Waitress- Empress deck was an awesome location- Paradise Beach in CozumelSo-So- So many kids running on and off the elevators or jumping down the flights of stairs- The shows, why no show on Saturday night?- The food. Even though there is more food then you could imagine, we thought the food was average at best. Finding healthy food was a challenge.- Trying to get everyone off the boat at Cozumel was annoying and seemed dis-organized

Cabin 6E

E54 - awesome location, sleeping arrangements for a family of four was great. No ventilation in the bathroom made it and the room too warm.
