Traveled with children

Little context for the review - family cruisers 50 and 45, 2 preteens, been on about 15 cruises last 8 years, RCL/Carnival/MSC/NCL/mix of big ships/little ships.

In short, cons far outweighed the pros.

Pros: New Ship so everything was working. Very clean. Ropes course and water park really good - if you must book on this ship, try them. Great staff, but far far outnumbered. Standard food was acceptable. Embark/Disembark very good and quick. Excursion process adequate. St Thomas stop - went to St John Trunk Bay - awesome. Tortola stop - Virgin Gorda really neat.

Cabin Review

Family Inside Stateroom

Cabin I1

Smallest I have seen on a ship yet. Dont put more than 2 in any interior cabin or you will regret it.

Port Reviews

Miami

No excursion taken - but good embark/disembark - fast like 40 minutes each.

St. Thomas

Trunk Bay (port to redhook ferry to cruz bay to trunk bay ) is top 5 beaches ever for me in terms of natural beauty.

Tortola

Fun and different - google it. Did the cruise line excursion as our day there was short and didn't want to mess up return times as we went to a different island.

Nassau

Bus #10 near port to Melia/Cable beach. Nice but cold weather made this tough. Bus is fun.
