What a wonderful cruise in general but the huge crowds during the holidays/spring break really make for adjustments in timing. We had the upgraded dining package yet struggled to find any place that had a reservation available. In our party of 9 the only way to get a reservation was to get 4 person and than ask for more to be added, which worked in one case but not another. The buffet lines were a wait for late breakfast, and my daughters tried Splash academy and Entourage and in both cases failed miserably to want to go back so that left my wife and I taking care of the kids instead of ourselves. Getting a tender to the private Cay took over 1 hour to get loaded, no entertainment keep pass the time (like Disney has mastered) All this, I'm pretty sure, can be avoided if able to go during a non high occupancy time.

Entertainment is good and diverse, from high pitched 70-80s rock bands to easy rock songs in the Atrium. Magic show was really good for kids.

I would do this cruise line again, as I trust, with less crowds everything would have been perfect!

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Mini-Suite with Balcony

Cabin MA

Pretty small for a mini suite. It is basically a standard room with a balcony in a higher and move central location and hence an upgrade, but not a mini suite. Clean and very well taken care of by stewart.
