National Rental Car from airport easy. Country Inn 1 b room suite $100 very nice. Breakfast buffet sucked way too crowded. The Florida Seafood Restaurant, excellent. Restaurant on pier Cocoa Beach, yummy.

Recommend taxi to the ship $20 or you wait forever for free shuttle. Boarding the ship really easy if your their within the first hour. Stateroom was comfortable & cozy. Shows were all great. Game show a must. Night club was fun. Pools & hot tubs were way too crowded, challenge finding a seat. Teen club sucked. My kids didn't connect. They loved the Flo Rider, spent most of their time there. Free ice cream & pizza an everyday routine in the afternoons. The Wind Jammer has excellent salads & great options. Go early or late, frustrating finding a seat otherwise. MY Time Dining, I recommend 8pm seating. The day goes fast, go to 7pm show then straight to dinner. Even the little kids in our family did fine. Photography stations were fun. Promade entertainment was great especially 70's Dancing In the Streets. The gym was crowded but good. Did yoga on the beach in Coco Cay, it sucked. Terrible instructor.

Coco Cay - rent a shell on Barefoot Beach. There was barely anyone there and they shuttle you to that side of the island. They circle round every 15 min. if you want to go back to the Straw Market area where 1000's of people are. Snorkel gear a must, we followed a Sting Ray, big fish and Lime Sharks. I slept, it was so quite. Go to the bbq 20 min after it starts & there's no line otherwise your waiting with a 1000 other people.
