This was the first time we were ever on a cruise and I had my reservations about certain things. Once we were there I realized there was nothing for me to worry about. I have vertigo and was only doing this for everyone else lol. ( i got sick the first night... and that was it )
My children ( 10&15) both enjoyed everything that was available to them. The pools, water slides, activities and clubs available to them. My 10 year old just wanted to spend so much time making friends in the Splash academy! My 15 year old that isnt as social still enjoyed herself by going to entourage or sitting by the pool with a book and zoning out. This allowed time for us to explore the ship and do adult things on our own without having to worry.
This didn't come easy for me. I'm a parent that needs to know what is happening when and where at all times. Maybe after day 3 I allowed them to go do their own thing lol.
It was small but was to be expected. We had everything we needed. We were rarely in there except to shower, change and sleep.
My daughter swam with a sea turtle! How awesome is that!? we also saw sting rays and some tropical fishes, i felt like we were swimming in an aquarium.
