Review summary
This was a ast minute cruise for us, so we had limited options to book. We ended up paying full fare for the kids, even for the infant. Pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. But next time we will wait for the kids cruise free special before booking. Overall though they exceeded our expectations. And we cannot say enough good things about the staff. For a crew that spends seven days a week working for nine months straight, they were always cheerful. And genuinely happy to interact with us. there was no spot to comment on booking agent here... but we would be remiss if we did not mention how great Rhonda was in finding us a cruise despite the short timeline. Without her this would not have happened. So to , give that girl a raise! :)Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Normandie Restaurant
Both the hostesses, wait staff and kitchen staff were excellent. We had a late dining slot (only thing available at booking), which did not work with two small children. They managed to give us anytime seating. And the chef made a special puree for our infant each and every night. What a wonderful staff!
Onboard Activities
Children's Programs
Camp Ocean
Kids had a great time. My son had won a Build a Bear that week. But with naptime etc we missed the session. The staff at Kids Camp did not disappoint. They had a ready made bear for him instead which thankfully got the parents off the hook for missing the activity! :)

Ship tip
We had 8 foot swells for the cruise out. Smart ones had packed meds accordingly. Also we noticed the front of the boat was really rocking. So if you don't have good sea legs, book towards the stern.
