Best 1st cruise with children. We had a balcony room that allowed the children to get their space to just look out and ask all the questions they could think of. At night we just watched the stars. The staff and crew were very friendly and attentive.

Review summary

Would I do this again, absolutely! Our cruise director was so sweet, funny and attentive. He felt like family. GO Cam!!! Shout out to Wayan, Maou and Catherine. Dinner time was the best in the main hall. The Alchemy Bar had the best drinks. Thanks for a great experience. Thanks to Glen who arranged everything through BJ's travel. You got this all started with ease.

Embarkation

We had the last embarkation time at 1:30-2:00 pm. It was perfect for my family, we just walked right through with no lines.

We had really kind attentive to us and our children. We traveled with our 2 year old and they kept her smiling.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

We attended shows, karaoke, piano bar, and watched the lip-sink contest. The children attended the camp Carnival and played on the pools and slides. We will plan next time to purchase the great art work we saw at the auction.

The staff was very kind and provided feedback on how my children did when they were there. I was reluctant because she is age two, but she had the best time.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The beds were comfortable and cozy. We did bump our heads a few times getting use the space but all in all it was perfect for us and the kids at the ages they are now. I will always aim for a balcony on up. When we slept in a little late one day, once we were off to brunch the room was made. We appreciated that.
