We were a little unsure of how our first cruise would go, even after reading as much as we could. We had a great time! I will try to touch on: Dining, Oceaneer's Club, Service and Entertainment.

First - the dining was excellent! The food was really good. Our servers Adolfo and Kate were very efficient. There were a few times where you could see how busy they were, but they still took the time to interact with us and make us comfortable. The only thing we would even say that would be close to a criticism is that they were so busy there was one night we didn't get coffee with our dessert, but other than that it was great! Our son even managed to eat there 3 out of the 4 nights without getting too fussy.

The Oceaneer's Club is a neat concept. We went to the Open Houses the first night and the next morning, and thought our son might enjoy it. When we dropped him off though, he found it too crowded and did not want to stay. Our Wave phone wasn't working properly, so he stayed for the whole time we were at dinner, and we picked him up right after we were done. I think the gap between 3 and 10 is too big, and the rooms are way too crowded. They need to come up with a better system so the shy/quiet kids don't get too overwhelmed to stay there. Read more
