The cruise was very over crowded. Unless you have a spacious balcony room where you can enjoy a view and privacy there is no place on the ship where you do not compete with your fellow passengers for a space to just sit and relax.

Even the children's entertainment was over crowded. Before going on the cruise my children ( 6 and 12) was very excited to join the childrens activities until they got there and was met with rows and chaos. Children crying and having to stand in yet more rows to be booked into a small room where there was nothing exciting for the children such as jungle gyms or anything that might get my 6 year old to maybe look past the chaos. All one could see looking into the room was is a table where they can draw and tvs with games. My son wanted a place to run and climb not just sit. He had one look at the room he was about to be left in and immediatly decided this is not what he expected. Yes, they where taken out of the small room from time to time by the crew to play in other areas but because the initial experience was so off putting I could not convince my son to just give it a try and stay with the group for just a bit.

Even the teens activities did not have anything to entice my 12 year old to try it.

Cabin Review

Suite

Cabin S3

The room was not bad but it was obvious cleaning only took place on the surface. I moved one of the couches and found smarties left my the previous occupants. The shower is very small with shower curtains that sticks to you while showering. The water also messed out from under the rim wetting the rest of the bathroom's floor.

We booked this small room believing that we will not really be spending time in the room but ended up regretting it because there was no other place on the boat where we were not met with crowds. The children also became extremely difficult to keep entertained because there was no where we could take them where they could just play.
