Review summary

We went on this same ship 9 years ago when we were dating, and remembered it fondly. Now that we have two kids, ages 3 and 6, we thought it might be fun to try with the kids. What a great idea! The Adventure Ocean was a blast after dinner, so the kids could play and do crafts and discover things on their own. We got some date time at night because of that! The seated dining wasn't so great, but the Windjammer had a great selection and was pretty decent, an A- overall. Great variety, great for kids, open at great times, and less formal with kids. We loved the excursions, we loved how easy it was to go to CoCoCay, we had the most fun there. The beverage packages worked there, they had a BBQ, the water was amazing and activities for kids too. We got a suite this time with a balcony and that was so worth it, our attendant Yogi was amazing. You get special perks and priority registration and things, so it was nice and a great choice with kids, extra room and a nice curtain so they had some privacy and so did we. Overall, we loved it, we'll go back for sure!

Cabin / Stateroom

Fantastic! The mattresses were not too comforatable though. But Yogi was awesome, we were so excited that he was able to find us a rollaway on very little notice. He kept the room so clean, came in multiple times a day to tidy up, he made friends with the kids and made great efforts to entertain them with towel animals, etc. He took care of us like no one ever, we LOVED him!
