FAMILY OF FOUR W/ TWO KIDS (AGES 1 AND A HALF AND 4)
The good - The service was great! The room steward, to the waiters - everything and everyone. Our director was Reverend Dr. E! HE WAS AMAZING AND HILARIOUS! He kept everyone well entertained from day 1 thru our very last day. Loved his "good morning" song. The food was great too! The only thing negative was that with a ship so large, the good restaurants like "Guys Pig and Anchor" and "Mongolian Wok" had waiting times up to 45 mins!. Mind you that Guys BBQ place is open only on Sea Days, so we missed it.
Camp ocean - Is free/included for children 2 and older. The times are different per day, but will take them through out the day. After 10 PM is considered night owls, and they charge about $7 per hour/per child plus tips. They take kids under 2 only after 10 PM. On port days, they will watch you under two's till 12PM (surcharge). Kids 2 and over are free. Surprisingly, my 4 year old was very bored in Camp. He didn't want to be there a whole lot. He said their activities were "boring". Not sure., so we kept him with us until the late night shows.
Cabin Review
Cove Balcony
Cabin size was good. It had a king and twin bed, and a pull out bunk twin. The balcony was okay. VERY CLOSE TO THE WATER LINE. - That is about all that I liked. The balcony had a lot of rust all around. Don't know if all cove balconies are like this, but since we were in the AFT, it smelled horrific. It smelled like bad gasoline and sewage. You can start smelling sewage as you start walking towards the aft part of the ship on the second floor. I will not be getting a cove in aft again.
