Review summary

Great service. Kids enjoyed the kids club + characters. Food was mediocre. Too many schedules, IMO ... we constantly felt like we had to be somewhere + couldn't relax. Loved our room + the raw bar buffet.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation was easy breezy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Loved the shrimp cocktail / crab leg buffet at lunch. Breakfast was the same for all seven days, which got a bit boring. Food in the restaurant was ok, not amazing.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Enjoyed the characters, wish there were more natural meet/greets vs waiting in line for 30 min ea time and having to constantly be on a schedule.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We were pleasantly surprised about the size and layout of this cabin. We had the best room host, who cleaned / organized our space 3x/day

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

4 out of 5

Excursions take a lot of time to get to - really 1/2 of your time is spent traveling to the destination. It was exhausting w/ kids. Wish we could have stayed at Jost Van Dyke for longer.

Castaway Cay (Disney Private Island)

4 out of 5

You really have to get off the ship early to secure a decent chair b/c everyone "saves" chairs ... then doesn't use them all day! The island is very spread out and the food is a 3/5 on the island.
