Much more crowded , given the ship's facilities, than I anticipated. But a nice way to travel with a cross section of different aged children. Menus in the different dining rooms were well planned and offered good choices for different "tastes." The experience of ordering off a diverse menu was a wonderful learning experience for children from the Fast Food World ! The servers were top notch and went out of their way to accommodate special requests. They were particularly good with the children....great entertainment.

The very young and the oldest groups were terrific. The "mid age" ( 9 ) needs to be revamped. The feeling was that it was too "kiddie" for them and wanted access to the X-Box type amenities.

Our Head Waiter was terrific....especially with the children.

Pool deck was overly crowded and the pools themselves were disappointing
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Worked perfectly for our needs. Could have had better instructions for the portable phones. As a result, we never used them ( and it sounds like they would have helped family communication. The main phone never did work. A better explanation of the conservancy of towels would have been helpful. Never understood the lack of fresh towels until the last day!
Ship tip
Figure out various locations of the different "areas" of the ship in relation to the forward, mid ship and aft elevators.
Shipboard information about various off ship facilities ( like the Space Center ) and helpful tips on how to get to them would have been easy to provide.
I like how you pointed out about menu selections and options as a learning tool. Possible reason for feeling more crowded - lot more 3 & 4 people (kids) in a cabin.
