My little one (9) enjoyed the kids club. She did say they combined their group with the infant/toddlers so it limited what they were allowed to do.

Service and Staff

Lloyd was our room steward! He was wonderful! He called us all by name every time he saw us! The magician Tharun was great!!! We saw him nightly at dinner. My kids gravitated towards him.

Cabin / Stateroom

A little tight for 4, but we did it! We didn’t spend lots of time in our room, so it worked out fine for us.

Ship tip

Watch the violin players in the atrium! They were the best part!
