Review summary

This was our first time cruising and we had a blast!  We have 2 children 12 and 13.  They went to the Circle C group 12-14 the first night and made friends.  They hung out with them every night!  My husband and I were able to go to dinner and shows every night.  The rooms were clean, the shows were great, the food was awesome!  It was a wonderful experience and so easy with kids!

The cabin was bigger than I thought it would be. Our cabin person, Anu, was awesome! They came in the morning and put the kids bunks away and made bed and straightened up and then again at night and put bunks back down and straightened up again. Great vacation!!!!

We didn't get to go to Half Moon Cay bc of weather so we went to Key West instead. It was great!

Nice review. My daughter loved Circle C where she made two BFFs (which have Become Forgotten Friend) that allowed them to be "independent" while being supervised. I'm glad you appreciated Nassau without being panicked by the "warnings." As for Key West, FUN is even more fun than the fun ship. Check out my video and see if your experience was anything like ours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b7VSZOlei4
