We sailed on Divina twice, and couldn't wait to experience Seaside. This became a 'girls' cruise, with my daughter, her 6 yr old, 4 yr old and her 7 month old. We signed the older girls up for the kids' program upon embarking. Characters all around, interacting, and the elegant sparkle of the grand atrium was enough to make my 4 yr old g-daughter draw her hands to her face and shout "WOW". It is breath taking. Miami Dolphin cheerleaders were available for photo ops, which we took advantage of before heading up to the buffet lunch. We decided to eat al fresco, and before we knew it, we were surrounded by Dolphin cheerleaders, eating their lunch at tables all around us. SO MUCH FUN. Dropped by our dining room to see our table. Maitre'd asked if our dining time was good for us. We made a minor change, no problem, with a smile of course. Our bags were at our cabin quickly. Since we opted for early dinner seating, we decided to take a rest before getting ready for the evening. No problem getting to the first show, we told our server we were booked all week for the early one. Our girls were glued to the stage. We were fortunate enough to get front row seats, what with the stroller and all. Cast were endeared to our beauties. When cast came down from the stage so many times, they were always bending down to smile and admire them. Melted our hearts as well. Older girls went to Kids' Club after the show each night, giving me and my daughter some adult time (with baby sleeping in stroller). We didn't see all the nooks and crannies by any means, but what we saw was aaahhhh.

Food was great, each night we were pleasantly surprised by each course we chose. We ate breakfast at MDR, so nice being served with the linens, fine stemware and glassware. The girls were in awe of the people around us, but especially the service, food and juices.

Kids and us hung out at the Jungle Aquatic area after breakfast each day. 6 yr old loved the huge slides. They both liked the huge kids pool, about 2 1/2' deep in the center, and the 100 gal (guessing) bucket that chimed every so many minutes, then dumped water. Read more
