Review summary

My family of four (2 kids ages 11/8) traveled to Key West/Bahamas on this cruise. The rooms were super small so we couldn't just hang out in the room. The kids had their own bed that popped down from the ceiling. The food on the ship was bland and they charge for coke/Pepsi, etc. so make sure you take your own 12-pack (you can do that, we didn't know). There wasnt too many shows for our kids to attend but they still had fun. the 80's night shows were amazing, the crew did an amazing job performing. CHECK YOUR CHARGES BEFORE THE LAST DAY! we almost got charged $116/each for gratuity ($464), went to guest services and got it removed. we tipped personally and in cash. The crew members were so helpful and amazing though!

The pools have salt water which my kids did not enjoy so they only used the pool twice the whole trip.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

It was four of us (2 kids 11/8) and the room was extremely small. we didnt have a balcony so it was difficult for us to just hang out in our room.

Ship tip

CHECK YOUR CHARGES EXPECIALLY THE TOWARDS THE END OF THE TRIP!
