Review summary

Our family ranging in age from 67-7 months went on their first family cruise and we had a GREAT time!!!  We had three window rooms (I would not take a balcony with young children) right next to each other.  On night we used baby monitors while we stayed in an adult room and the children slept.  Our 3 year old loved Camp Carnival.  The 2 and 3 year olds along with parents and grandparents marched through the ship with the Dr. Seuss parade.  I just heard that  the 3year old is still chanting "Dr. Seuss on the loose"!

The dining room staff was excellent. After one night, they had the children's food ready for them when we entered the dining.  That kept them busy!
