Review summary
For Young kids or toddlers: 2 Outdoor play areas for kids outside the Camp Ocean area (toddler slide one side and interactive playground on the opposite side. Not advertised at all that I saw. I was the only one in there with my 1 yr old all times. Deck 11, aft. enter from exterior. Each side completely different, hidden little gem if you are looking for something to do with your little ones. Our room category FJ had a 2 room bathroom; one with a tub and sink and another with toilet shower and sink 230 square feet good for families Ocean View Window was nicer and larger than we expected! Was worried staying on the second floor would be too far from pool/ traveling back and forth but wasn't bad at all. the of disembarking we were able to get off immediately by 7:15am, we walked right off mid-ship deck 2 no issues no delay! Awesome, quickest ever. We never go to those rooms they tell you to wait, we always walk off immediately (if you carry off all your luggage, not bad at all). Buffet food not that great. We paid one night at the Italian restaurant and Bonsai restaurant well worth it.. Amazing... compared to that buffet food. Pig & Anchor also good it's free on seadays but you have to pay on port days. Skyride broke after day 2 for remaining duration of the cruise. White Party (pack your white clothes!) 80s party great fun If you are in social media you can usually google on Facebook for your specific cruise ship with date and join the private group with fellow cruisers for that same cruise/dates. It was helpful and also afterwards too. I recommend it!Embarkation
