Review summary

This was a nice cruise for the holidays! The kids enjoyed the lighting of the Christmas tree, the special visit from Santa, and writing a letter to Santa. Our family enjoyed playing a game in the library every evening after dinner. Half Moon Cay was our favorite part of the cruise . . . it is as beautiful as a postcard!

Embarkation

4 out of 5

quick and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

the food was good, but not a lot of kid-friendly options at the buffet, and no gluten-free options

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

pool, hot tub, water slides, library/game room

Entertainment

we did not attend any of the entertainment options, due to the young children with us

Children's Programs

3 out of 5

besides Camp Carnival, there were very few options for children and families, especially on days at sea. PG-13 movies were shown earlier (which are not appropriate for young children), and then G and PG movies were shown later (when younger children are already in bed).

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

everyone was friendly and professional!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

everything was clean and well-maintained

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
