Traveled with children

We just took the 4 day cruise to Cozumel with our large extended family for Thanksgiving. We were almost 2 hours late leaving New Orleans for unspecified reasons. After boarding at noon, we were ready to GO! It was the first of many things that left this cruise with a feeling of being a little "off".

Food: the lines were typical of most cruises we have taken in the past. Everything we had at the buffet was actually very tasty. We ate 3 of the 4 nights in the MDR. For the first time, we did anytime dining. I don't think I will do that again. Part of cruising fun is to form relationships with your waitstaff, and when you have someone new every night that just didn't happen. Some waiters were great and others a complete bore. The last night I ordered the chicken breast and it was not cooked all the way through.

Cabins: Our room steward was fantastic. Everything was kept in great shape. We had no problems.
