Review summary

This was our first family vacation in almost 18 years. Our 3 teens overall had a great time, although there were not that many kids on this particular cruise. The older teen was quite bored until he found some other kids to interact with, I would have liked to had seen the youth staff for the older teens be more motivated to invite and have things for them as the 12-14 year olds did. My 13 & 14 year olds were never bored ! The beds were comfortable, the food was good, the service was fantastic! It was nice how personable and helpful the staff was. Our only disappointment was in the smaller lounges, the entertainment was not to our expectation. The main shows were great!

The Blow Hole was fantastic! We were told the Blow Hole is not as active unless the waves are good. We came on a good day! We unfortunately were not there long enough, and it was too short of a stop.
Don't Miss: The Blow Hole.

We walked the arts walk and then had a huge feast and drinks at lobster & fish taco place. Great place to eat!

We went on our own to the Glass Factory. We were glad we didnt take a tour so we could spend more time there and with other things. going to the beach was fun. We went to Tobasco's and ate heartlily and enjoyed the environment.
Don't Miss: The glass factory
