My husband and I and our 3 children 9, 9, and 8 just returned from an Epically awesome Norwegian cruise. We flew into Orlando on the 25th because of the huge fare difference between Miami and Orlando. We rented a mini-van for only $50 and did the 3 hour drive from Orlando to Miami. We returned our car at the Miami Airport where we received a FREE Shuttle Ride from the rental car agency to the port of Miami. I thought this was an awesome deal. We arrived at the port at about 11am where we had an extremely quick check in process and we were on the boat riding the slides by 12:15. Our cabin was even ready when we got on the boat so we were able to drop off our extra things before heading to the pool. We always come prepared to swim when we get on the arrive and you could see everyone wishing that they had planned as well as we had. There was no waiting on any of the slides and my kids had a blast.

The 1st evening is Lobster Night in the Manhattan Room and the Taste Restaurant so we headed to the Manhattan room for a wonderful evening of food and dancing to a live band. We really enjoyed it. After dinner we took our kids to the kids club which I have to say has more energy than the DIsney Kids Club and my kids said it was far better than the Disney Kids Club. My husband and I went to the Howl at the Moon Piano show the first night and we were in awe of this entertainment. Drew, Kim and Matt were phenomenal. It was like hanging out with your best friends and we were amazed at their talent. These three were truly amazing. We also tried out for Slime Time Live the first evening and we were picked to be on the show. The show was taped on Monday morning. We had a blast as the red team. We didn't win but we enjoyed our 2nd place finish with Pies in the face. Nacho Libre works with the Nickelodean team and we absolutely loved him. He is a macho mexican man!!

The next day we enjoyed the pool deck and relaxed and in the evening we went to the Cirque Supper Club Show which I highly suggest. The performers were amazing and really drew us into the show. We purchased preferred seating and it was amazing. We were right under the performers, I don't think I have ever sat so close in a live show. GO TO THIS SHOW, YOU DON"T WANT TO MISS IT! Read more
