Traveled with children

The embarkation and disembarkation process was smooth, definitely get a porter even if you only have a few bags as you leave the ship as they get to bypass the long lines.

We had a great time on the cruise. our 9yo boy loved the kids club and would leave seated dinner early each night so he could get to the club. Made some friends and looked forward to it each night. Our 15yo boy went to kids club one night and had a good time but preferred to hang out with us doing the trivia games and going to the shows most nights.

The onboard shows and comedians were great and the Cruise director led shows were all great fun. The quest and 70 disco dancing in the streets were a blast. We enjoyed the cruise director as he and his team brought a lot of energy to the whole week.

Cabin Review

Junior Suite

Cabin JS

Had attached balcony JS for the 4 of us which was wonderful as the balcony divider opens and made for a huge balcony. Cabin had everything we needed and plenty of storage space. We were starboard aft and could feel the vibrations people were complaining about, but it didn't seem that bad to us and was not constant but you could tell when the vibrating started. We had the steward remove the mini fridge items so we could use for our own stuff and asked that he fill the ice bucket everyday. Needed an extension cord and that was it.

Our cabin steward (Siri, which reminded us of our iphones) was great.

Port Reviews

Labadee

This is a relaxing stop and would recommend doing the zip line if that is your thing. It looked like it would be one of the best experiences of the trip, if you're not afraid of heights.

We relaxed in the lagoon and got the kids the waterslide pass and an hour on the bouncy water obstacle course. Be care on the obstacle course as they can get cuts from the trampoline springs.

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

We stayed at the orlando world center marriott on saturday, went to disney world for a day and then hit the cruise on Sunday. Enterprise rent a car is the way to go if you need to rent a car.
