We were a group of 10: My husband and I and our two boys (9 and 11), my in-laws and their 2 girls (8 and 10), and my parents-in-law. We had three separate cabins booked. Our family chooses cruises so we can enjoy time together and still have time apart.
Boarding and disembarking in NJ was so fast it was almost head spinning. Disembarkation was a little crazy with just the sheer volume of vehicle traffic picking up and dropping off, but the uber made his way through and whipped us to the airport with no problems at all.
Ship: This ship is amazing. We are typically Oasis class cruisers, but we (especially the kids) were really excited to experience bumper cars, xbox lounge, roller skating and all the activities in the Sea Plex, and the ship didn't disappoint. I thought the bumper cars would be a bit hoakie - but they were really fun and the kids loved them. Roller skating was a huge hit too - we did both activities a few times.
Awesome cabin. There were only 4 of us so there was enough room for everyone. The kids enjoyed having their own beds in the second bedroom. Having 2 bathrooms was super helpful as we showered and got everyone ready for dinner in the afternoons. We were sailing with cousins and they came to our room for a sleepover one night and the kids all had a blast sharing a room.
Master bedroom was large and provided more than enough storage and closet space. Bathroom had a tub.
Living room had a large sectional, chairs, and tv. Lots more storage.
Entry area had a large walk-in closet where we stowed our three suitcases. We didn't have enough stuff to fill all the storage in this suite!
