Sail Date: Mar 2017
Cabin: Balcony Stateroom
Traveled with children

Rumor has it there were 1300 kids on board this sailing! Still, I laugh because it seems like adults are far more likely to be rude and annoying than the kids...I was almost taken out by speeding carts on more than one occasion.

In a nutshell- the ship was by far larger than any I had sailed. It was actually intimidating on day 1,but we got our bearings quickly. I do agree the set up with the always stinky casino/ 678 area is certainly a poorly thought out design. I also think having the smoker's area at the bar on 17,right where it's easiest to watch the littles in the water play area is odd placement.

Stateroom- 15870, an angled balcony was a delight overall, but you do hear nightly bass thumping music. Our attendant was kind enough to put a lounger on the balcony along with the two chairs and table and there was plenty of space. With 4 of us in the room, it took staying organized to not feel sardined. Plenty of storage space for us. LOVED the glass enclosed shower. The balcony was the perfect extra space. Do note that the overhang does affect view/photos a bit.

Nassau

Walked to Junkanoo after standing in line at the Hilton, only to be told the pool was closed. $40 for a large umbrella and 2 anti gravity loungers. $10 for 2 cokes and 2 waters. Not bad at all! Had a good time at Junkanoo for the 3 hours we visited.

Stay away from hair braiders at the pier. $4 a braid and some of them were barely an inch long. Highway robbery!!!!

Tortola

Used Trip Advisor and chartered a private power boat. Nothing short of amazing. Our highlight of the trip!
