Appreciate your detailed feedback. Just know that most cruise lines don’t allow un-potty trained little ones in the pools with swim diapers. It a health situation. Sorry you were disappointed.

Cruising in summer with schools out equals crowded. It’s just how it is on any cruise line. Don’t want a gaggle of kids, go when schools are in session.

The amenities and ship were great, being nickel and dimed, not so great.
