overall the trip was very nice. We enjoyed the food and the shows and other entertainment. We missed having a live band on the pool deck during the day like on other cruises, but they had a big screen in the main pool area for entertainment. We mostly stayed in the adult pool area where they had nice quiet music. We enjoyed playing mini golf and the Aquaduck water ride. During the day they had soft serve ice cream which everyone enjoyed.

There were plenty of things to do to keep busy if you wanted. We went in the adult pool and hot tub and rode the Aquaduck several times. In the evening we listened to the music in the lobby and watched the families have photos taken with characters.

The ship seemed to be easy to get around and find all the theaters and restaurants. Everything was clean despite the number of people (esp. children)
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The room was comfortable and a good size for a cruise ship. It was nice to have two separate bathrooms. One for tub and shower and sink and another for toilet and sink. It was always clean.
Ship tip
Don't stay on the 10th deck. You hear all the noise from the pool deck.
We did the snorkeling trip to Treasure Is. The people on Rebel Yell were very nice and good instructions on snorkeling. We saw lots of fish, squid and sea turtles.
We took a snorkeling trip to St. John's honeymoon bch. It was a relaxing trip on the catamaran, but we were disappointed they didn't sail, only motored. They were many fish and were saw 4 sea turtles. They had cheese, crackers, meat and booze on the way back. It was a nice trip. We wanted to do Trunk Bay, but it was sold out.
We did not do any excursions. We spent the day snorkeling, water slides and relaxing. They had a BBQ for lunch with plenty of choices. It was a nice day other than trying to get off the ship. Everyone tried to get off when we got there, so there were long lines. I would think there might be a better way.
It should have gone smoother, but for some reason it got backed up. We got in line when they called our character, but the line had stopped and we waited a half hour without moving.
