This was our first cruise. We have 4 kids S 15 yrs S 12yrs S 10 and D 5. Getting on and off the ship was quick. We had 2 junior suites connected. 6000 and 6002 deck 10. This was a perfect amount of room with spacious decks and views. Walk in closest and plenty of storage. I felt it was quiet every night except the night they had an evening deck party. I don't remember it being loud late into the night, I was still able to sleep through it. I thought the beds were very comfortable. Our state room attendant was pleasant however I didn't see her often. My room was cleaned nicely twice a day with a turn down of your bed at night.

The windjammer had pretty good food and variety and quite crowded at times. We did diner each and every night with our entire family. For us it was just good quality family time. Our head waiter and asst. waiter were very kind and warm. For us it was kinda sad to leave on the last day. I did find the food to be "good" but I am not going to say it was the best I have had. There's so many people with so many meals. I thought they did a great job with the service and how quick they brought stuff out.

My older son had a friend from home the same age. They ventured out each night after diner, they had a 1:00 curfew to meet each night. He rarely goes out, super responsible so I didn't have an issue with it at all. The two middle ones enjoyed the arcade, I had to limit the $$ on there sea pass cards. Sea pass cards required for everything. As for my 5 yr old. In all the years and trip we took the boys just were never interested in kids clubs or activities at the facilities. We never pushed it and usually wanted to spend our time with them anyway. However my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the "aquanauts" kids area, especially for ages 3-5. She was in a talent show and a pirate parade on the promenade, lots of smiles and parents with cameras. Read more
