AGES: 39, 42 & 4 years

Pre-cruise: We decided to stay at the Marriott Stellaris for 2 nights, which we did not regret. The rooms we very clean and spacious and COMFORTABLE BEDS! Everyroom had a balcony and we loved the view from the 20th floor! We had a city view and loved it. The food was good and we took advantage of the all you can eat buffets for breakfast and lunch (in La Vista) because our 4 year old's meal and drink were included with our buffet purchase for free. The buffets were $16.95 p/person. FYI, there is a Walgreens across the street from the Marriott and we visited there prior to heading to the ship and bought a case of bottled water and a 12 pack of sodas with some strapping tape. We super-reinforced the cases with tape and slapped one of our luggage tags on them and they were at our cabin with our luggage. The staff at this resort were very friendly and accommodating.
