Review summary

We cruised in a group of 10, with a 12 year old and 3 year old. The 12 year old really enjoyed camp. I recommend taking the kids the first night so they can make friends with the other kids. We did check out the camp for 2-4 year olds, and the room looked like lots of fun, but we didn’t utilize the service. Everyone warns you about the vendors. A simple, yet firm no thank you kept them at bay. No issues.

The Steakhouse was phenomenal! MDR was amazing, night after night. Seaday Brunch was good, but the regular buffet food was lacking. 24 hour pizza was good, BBQ and the deli were great
