Review summary

The ship was beautiful however things could have been better. We traveled with a person with special needs and were told that the parent would get a beeper for when he was at a group meeting. Our travel agent told us that and yet the ship knew nothing about it. Communication could have been better. Many parents showed up for events not knowing it was for a certain age group, because it was not communicated well. The computer glitch should not have taken so long to fix. Our teens were also deprived time on the xbox games because others were not monitored by staff as to how long to stay on. Complained to guest service, but problem was not resolved. I did not want my child playing much,but he should have been given a chance and couldn't because other monopolized it and no one from the ship supervised. The flow rider and I fly were great as were the bumper cars.
