Traveled with children

We chose this cruise because the whole family (4 kids, 1 grandkid, mother in law) were all able to have the time off and the price was pretty good. The free at sea offers seemed like a good idea at first, but it turned out we would have saved more by not using the offer and just adding what we wanted. We ended up not using the internet at all as you can only have one person on it at a time and you share a pool of minutes. There would have been an additional four dollar charge per person who wanted to use the pool of minutes.

There was so much to do on the cruise we were not able to do everything. They had two magic shows, a broadway show, karaoke, two comedy shows, crew game shows, trivia, bingo etc. We also went to several of the art auctions and even though we did not plan on it, we ended up buying two "works of art."

The dining was one of the best things on the cruise. We ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a sit down restaurant almost every day of the cruise. It was really great trying the different places and trying new dishes. The food and the service were top notch.

Balcony - Connecting Stateroom

As this was the first cruise we were on we have nothing to compare it to, but it was big enough for my wife and I. The bathroom was a little tight and the toilet was a really loud flush type. I did wish there were outlets near the bed as I use a CPAP machine and had to run the cord across the room. The TV is small, more like a computer monitor.
