This was our families first cruise.Wanteed to do something different then the usual "Hawaii,Mexico Beach vacation.Myself DW two sons 15 and 12.Check in was smooth .We had VIP but really didnt make a difference.All passengers wait in same area .The only real perk is that you get to board ship early.
We got on board about 1030 and started to explore the ship.We ate in the lunch on the Lido deck and hung out until our cabin was ready.Oceanview suite was perfect size for us.I couldn't imagine the 4 of us in a regular size cabin.The only drawback was the TV CRT with one of those FRY'S $59 VCR.Oh well we weren't on the cruise to watch the tube.
I'm sure some people will dis-agree but the entertainment on "Fun-Sea" days leaves alot to be desired.Hairy chest contest,Not so newlywed game ,Bartender contest....Umm lame.We checked the boys in their clubs Circle c and Club 02 .The younger son really enjoyed Circle C .The older son said Club 02 was mediocre.
