Review summary

The trip was very good.  The room was nice, the ship was newer, and the kinks have mostly been worked out.  

 

Positives:

Lots of family activities available

Anytime seating for dinner required little to no wait

Fun daily activities

Great 4D motion theater

IMAX was a great addition

 

Negatives:

The nightly show left something to be desired

The ship layout required walking through the smoky casino

Casino staff was rude

The kids club closes at odd times, making it difficult for the adults to have an afternoon to themselves.

Additional expenses abounded, everything seemed to cost extra!

I believe the 4D motion theater is a theater that is sort of interactive. Ex..when it rains in the movie, you feel a mist of water on yourself.

Thanks for the review (I'm embarrassed to admit I have no idea what a 4D motion theater is).
