Review summary

Enjoyed the entire cruise.  The staff was so accommodating and pleasant to be around.  Especially enjoyed out steward (Ericson) and the dinner waiters (Julius, Kamango(?) and others).  We could not have been pampered more.  These guys are an asset to your cruise line.  If every cruise is like this one, I plan to do more. 

Going to Grand Cayman and being with the dolphins was a highlight for me, and the beautiful beaches were wonderful.  Just wished there was more time there.

Hope to be able to plan another cruise next year.

Didn't have small children with us, but saw quite a few and they seemed to enjoy Cat in the Hat, etc.

Was more spacious than I was led to believe it might be.

Ship tip

Try to fit all shows in (worth it). Take time to enjoy every minute and relax. The crew will take care of you. Hope to be lucky enough to have Ericson as your steward and Julius as your waiter.(Life is good)
