We were traveling with a group of 11 people including 3 young children, 8, 3, and 10mo. Having a dinner reservation in the main dinning room was great for us to spend time together and serving crew did a great job taking care of us all. This allowed the family to spend some quality time together and still allowed us to do our own thing during the day.
Embarkation was a little difficult with a 10-month-old due to teething fevers. After waiting about 30 min for the ship doctor to clear him we were able to board. Disembarkation was breeze. Have the crew help you with your luggage, it just makes the whole process easier.
The ships child care was great when it was open. Be aware of the times. We wanted to attend the mystery theater dinner on the first night but had to cancel because child care didn’t start until well after dinner.
The cabin was small but fit all four of us. Using hanging hygiene bags and magnetic hooks and clips were a must to conserve space. I recommend emptying your suit cases into the drawers and closet and then hiding them under the bed. Every morning our kids seem to trash the room with blankets and pillows everywhere, but the stateroom attend would work his magic and make the room look like new again. Also, my daughter loved the towel animals.
