Review summary

Very enjoyable vacation. We look forward to another one soon, it was son's first cruise. He didn't enjoy the teen club. He tried but he didn't feel included so he didn't go back.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Checking out luggage was very stressful and the gentleman that was taking our things did not help making it better. He was rude, made us feel stupid when we didn't have enough luggage tags. He rushed is and talked down to us the whole time. He even put his hand out and demanded a tip. There was a foot print on my luggage tag when I did receive my nags. Someone walked on my things without a care.

All the food was great. The steakhouse was fantastic!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The adult pool was fun when the kids finally got kicked out. Harry Potter trivia was fun, movie nights were enjoyable. I wish the slide was open more than one day.

Entertainment

The preformers we're awesome. Great shows my son and I went to almost all of them. I was a VIP on one show and that was fun My son meet and took a picture with Joshua and Jenna and I was impressed that Joshua remembered my sons name at the met and greet. Jenna, Nathaniel, Graham, Joshua, I know I'm forgetting other names. Great job all

i was worried about that with my 13 year old, 1st time going without his cousins, does anyone have any tips or suggestions to try and avoid this?

I teach my children to befriend the one who looks left out or the one sitting alone; the rest have friends. It works. Sorry for that, but sometimes kids are oblivious or just not inclusive (little stinkers). Glad y'all still had a good time!

Sorry for the non-inclusion feeling. Please encourage a return visit next cruise. Different kids will be there and he could have a delightful experience. Never know.
