Review summary

All in all we had a good time. The only parts I didn't care for was the bland food and the freestyle soda machines weren't working half of the time. But it sure beats a week at work!

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Had to wait in line for a while because they were short staffed. Once they got the help everything moved quickly.

Beautiful. The water park would be better as a half day and be a bit cheaper.
