Traveled with children

We sailed on April 13, 2008 cruise- ports of call were Grand Cayman, Roatan Island (Honduras), Belize City (Belize), and Cozumel.

I was traveling with my husband, and two children. One of my daughters is a special needs child that we were worried about on the Cruise and it turned out to be one of our best vacations with her ever. Other than the waits for elevators (people if you are lucky to be born healthy and can walk, please use the stairs and leave the elevators for people in walkers) . The ship was unfortunately difficult at times to get around in a walker. You have to take 2 elevators to get to the kids club and its hard to get from one end of the ship to the other.

Embarkation was very easy. The staff was friendly, the line moved quickly, and the terminal wasn't hot and stuffy. We arrived at 11:30 am and were on board by noon where we explored the ship and had a great lunch at the made to order Thai grill. Embarkation seemed to go smoothly for everyone else as well, and the ship left on time.

Cabin Review

Ocean View

Front of boat on 1st floor was very loud with the waves and the whole cabin shook each time the boat hit a wave.
