Sail Date: Jan 2018
Cabin: Large Interior Stateroom
Traveled with children

We spent a week aboard with 16 of us. We had interior rooms and the ship was so big, it really just felt like a convention center. The promenade was really just high end expensive shops and reminded me of a mall. Malls are dead! I felt it hard to feel "connected" with the fact we were on a ship. Overall, the smaller ships (and yes, I mean Freedom;Liberty class even) are more for us.

I was very dissapointed with the pack and play cribs we had for our twins. We just rolled with it but they were dirty and stained, and didnt have the appropriate safety features they should require. As our kids are "about done" with them we monitored them for further issues and continued not letting it mess up our experience.

We enjoyed the mytime dining, however I noticed a significant deline in the quality and "feeling" of fanciness at dinner. Menus stained, tattered, and being butt to butt with other tables it was like a maze to get to our tables.

Cabin Review

Large Interior Stateroom

Cabin L

Cabin was small, but ample. We were right across from the Rising Tide equipment room and it was constantly NOISY. Every time the lift activates there is a dull "warning alarm" and then the whirrrrrrrr of the lift. We also must be just above the main crew highway as you could hear every cart, footsteps, conversations etc below us. OVERALL however it was a good room.

We enjoyed this day but it was CROWDED!

Falmouth

Shops and shops. Also, is that a tent city behind the main area?

Cozumel

Rented a jeep and explored. Best day of the trip so far! BRING CASH most resorts dont have the ability. Skip the mayan ruins.
