This was mine and my wife's fourth cruise. It was our kids' first cruise. My wife and kids all have to eat Gluten free.

First, I'd say that if eating Gluten Free is a must for you make sure and speak to someone at the beginning of your cruise. For the most part they were very accommodating. I would recommend meals in the MDR as opposed to the Windjammer if GF is a must. More and better options for sure. My kids got GF pancakes in the MDR in the morning (they asked to let them know the night before but didn't take that much longer when we didn't - because we didn't know we needed to do so). They also made a GF birthday cake for my wife (a little annoyed they wouldn't allow me to reserve that before hand and only once I got on board) ( it was actually a flour-less chocolate cake). We were told at the Windjammer that we had the last GF bun and that was on the second day! Overall the food was very good. Not as good as Celebrity, but certainly held their own with foodies like we are. The nicer foods (lobster, fresh squeezed OJ in the windjammer) cost extra which would have been standard on Celebrity.

There were lots of activities besides the trampoline and the rock wall which were great (table tennis, trivia, belly flop, etc.). More than we had experienced with Celebrity.

Cabin Review

Family Ocean View Stateroom

Cabin FO

Panoramic View. The large Window was nice when we were in the room (which wasn't often). We did see dolphins jumping outside our window when we left the port. It was also nice to wake up and see the port area just outside our window.

The room was certainly spacious enough for a four night cruise with a family of four (10 and 11 year old).

The room was very convenient to get to whether from the eating areas or the top of the ship activities. Along with that though I felt like being just outside a main area and with deck nine just above made the room loud. My wife didn't think so, but I did.

Port Reviews

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

Very nice. We showed up early and the process was quick and painless. Waiting room was nice. We got a shuttle to the Port but could have easily just parked there.
