This is a complete breakdown of our cruise so its going to be long. We are 41 40 9 and 4 years old and we went with our family friends who also had children of the same age. We live in south Florida so we drove to Port Everglades and parked there which was a breeze. Embarkation was swift and we waited in the lounge area with our kids that had a play area and the kids had lots of fun for 30 mins.

The entertainment review: The first day we saw Hairspray which was Broadwayesque to my wife. I enjoyed the production value but did not like the story or music much. We went to the comedy show the second night and the two men Jim David and Kievy? Plus the MC were fantastic. We sat in the front row and of course i got picked on plus our whole crew. The next day we saw the Ice Skating Show which was lovely. I happen to be a strong critic in this area since my sister produces similar events. The rink was small but the production was extremely high and I appreciated the former world class skaters even though they were limited in their jumps and spins because of the size of the rink. The next night we saw the Oasis of Dreams or the Aqua Show which was beautiful but we had to fight to keep our seats since it was in such high demand. I didn't understand the story very well but the production was amazing. We then saw the headliner show called The Beatlemanicas. It was a real Beatles Concert which I fell in love with since they played songs you don't normally hear from Sir Paul. We then saw Come Fly with Me which was the a la Cirque Show. The kids loved it and we were all again very impressed with the production. Then we went to the Family Comedy Hour in the Theatre with the kids this time. Again we were in the front row and the kids got pick on this time, even going on stage. A true highlight for our kids.

Pool Area: Awesome. Plenty of room. Plenty of chairs. Plenty of whirlpools. The kids loved the children's pools as well. Read more
