Review summary

The dining, stateroom and entertainment staff were exceptional' stateroom was very good and the food was excellent. The downsides of this cruise was the failure of parents and staff to control the children that were onboard. We had children "riding" the elevators, especially the one in the atrium, stopping at every deck, up and down; children pushing past older guests to get into elevators or up or down stairs; running throughout the ship even as last a 4:00 AM, most of which was done in the presence of staff but nothing was ever said. I have been on other ships and the ship's staff have stepped in when this behavior was noticed. Security officers were nonexistent except at the 18 and over nightclub. The Lido deck buffet area was far to small for the number of guests onboard therefore there were almost always large lines.

Ship tip

Don't miss the pasta area, one deck above the Lido buffet, ship's dining rooms for breakfast instead of the long lines on the Lido deck.

We agree with you about the kids being REALLY wild! We've been on 7 cruises and have NEVER experienced this type of behavior from kids!
