Traveled with children

First of all let me say that I had a terrific time with all of our friends on the cruise. It made for quite a bit of fun and excitement. We were all travelling with our kids so everyone had someone to hang out with that they knew.

We arrived at Cape Liberty at around 12pm and got ready to board. This was a new Port for us to leave at and it was quite organized. When we registered we asked for NONE of the kids to have charge privileges on their sea pass cards as we knew that would cause quite a bit of trouble !!

Our balcony room was quite nice, clean and well kept. The only thing that I did not like was the lack of storage especially when we all had big suitcases to store. Once we were re-aquainted with our friends we settled for the evening. The trouble started when we found out the kids had charged over $100 at the arcade and gift shop ! When investigating further at the front desk we learned that the kids cards were never removed from the charge account - you must go in person and ask that they have absolutely NO privileges. If they want to go to the arcade they must put CASH on their cards.

Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Too much movement at the front of the ship, great balcony, tiny closet space, great shower.
