Our kids ice skated on our sea day during The Key special hour and loved it. Our family played Bingo and it was sooo much fun!

All crew were great. Our stateroom attendant was Iwyan and he was amazing!! Our MDR waiters Constancio and Ronell were friendly and we were so happy with their service.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5

Again, we had The Key so disembarkation was mostly good. We had checked our bags last night so a couple of small bags was all we had. We were supposed to have special breakfast on 3 but elevators were clogged and some stairs were blocked for the non-Key passengers. Made it tricky so when we finally got to 3 there was a line for the breakfast so we took our carry-ons and followed The Key crew member to the exit! That part was easy peasy!
