Sail Date: Oct 2018
Cabin: The Haven 2-bedroom Family Villa with Balcony
Traveled with children

1. The boat holds over 4,000 people. The boarding and disembarking processes are a MESS -- it takes forever with line after line after line and wait after wait after wait. It is a rough way to start/end a vacation!!!!!

2. The staff is amazing. It's hard to imagine how they train that many people to be nice, courteous, helpful -- they do an amazing job!

3. The BOAT REAKS OF CIGARETTE SMOKE. Seriously -- the smoking kept me out of the main ship areas. See, one of the smoking areas is in the casino which is one floor of the 5 floor atrium so the ENTIRE atrium smells. My kids pulled their shirts up over their noses to minimize the smell. IT WAS BAD. Ironically the other smoking area is on an outside deck -- adjacent to the jogging path.

Port Reviews

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

Amazing place -- just not enough time to spend there.

Expensive for such a short visit.

Great Stirrup Cay

Manmade underwater garden made for fun and easy snorkeling -- got to see tons of fish. Even a turtle!
