Overall a good trip for our first time cruising with kids. Feel like this boat had an older crowd, although people were very nice to our young kids. Cozumel and Grand Cayman were amazing but Falmouth, not so much.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
For the most part was really good. Could have been more variety on salad bar and changed up menu for lunch at buffet. Seemed to be same stuff everyday. Main dining room dinner was good.

My 4 year old loved Adventure Ocean and begged us to be dropped off several times. We also used the nursery for our 2 year old a few times and it was great

Every staff member was so nice and made a point to talk to our kids

Very clean
Cabin / Stateroom

This was our first time to travel with kids and our first time to get a balcony room. We felt like it was very roomy, even with a crib.
Ship tip
Get to the shows and events early - they fill up fast
We took a taxi to Paradise Beach. Got the all you can eat/drink package and it was well worth it. Great drinks and food. Relaxing spot on beautiful beach with hammocks. Also a nice pool to use and restroom/changing rooms. Staff at the beach club were very friendly and attentive.
Took a taxi to Public Beach. Locals were very friendly and felt safe. The beach was beautiful but a little crowded at the spot we were dropped off at. Restroom was lacking attention. Wish we had more time to shop and walk around the town. Definitely want to go back
Our least favorite port. There is shopping when you get off boat “within the walls”. We were hoping to find a local place to eat but it was just chain restaurants inside the gate (Dairy Queen, Schlotskys, Margaritaville). We decided to venture out beyond the walls to get a taste of local culture. But immediately felt uneasy as we were approached by locals trying to sell us marijuana (with our 4 and 2 year old in tow). One guy posing as a “tour guide” asked if we had any questions. We asked about good place to eat. He told us to follow him and he’d take us to a good place. After walking and being hounded to buy stuff from everyone, even after saying no they still follow you, I felt very uneasy about where this guy was taking us. Luckily our two year old was fussy so I said we decided to head back to boat. In which he followed us back and then asked for a tip (which we did give him a few bucks just so we could get out of there as fast as possible.)
