We went on this cruise with our 4 kids, my parents, my brother and 2 nephews. We drove to the port and parked at the park and cruise. we booked the parking online, it was $7.00 a day. we parked and were dropped off at the terminal in less than 30 min. We didnt get to the terminal until 2pm, so it was not overyly crowded and did not take too long to get on the ship. we packed swim suits in our carryon bag so we could go right to the pool/hot tubs. it was just before 6pm that our luggage made it to the room.
We had the early seating in the Crimson dining room. the food was fine. no compliants. the kids enjoyed trying new dishes. I thought that the prime rib was the best thing i ate all week. we had it twice during the week. family said the lobster was good, but i don't eat seafood. the best dessert of the week was sugar free apple pie!
The waters were very rough the first three days of the trip! lots of people complained about the rough seas. 3 or the 6 kids in our group were sea sick. take dramamine with you! better yet, if you can get a RX for Zophran, get one!
room was right off the elevators and the main pool. nice for day time, bad for night time, noisey!
