Review summary

I definitely recommend the 5 night Monday to Saturday. I definitely feel like I maxed the weekends surrounding the cruise and I enjoy the balance of 2 ports and 2 sea days. Overall? 10/10 family trip!

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5

Beachside Hotel, Cocoa Beach, Florida was great for 2 nights. Nice little heated pool/lazy river and pretend beach/sand area. Walking distance to Cocoa Beach, a grocery store (pick up wine and cans of coke) and good restaurant options +McDonald's for the kids. 🙃🍟🍔 Plus a better than average free breakfast. 🧇🍌 (My husband said we could do just a mini trip here. 👍🏖)

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

Paradise beach in Cozumel, it was perfect. My kids had so many virgin Pina coladas and mama had a few adult pina coladas and blue hawians too. 🍹🥥 My kids didn't care for the pico de gallo type salsa (I thought it was delicious). Beautiful beach and pool. 🏖

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5

At Cococay, we spent a brief amount of time at the "pirate ship." My 3 year old cried at splashway bay because of all of the buckets dumping and water spraying everywhere. 📸 We parked by the pool and stayed there almost all day, great dj. My 7 year old had a great time in the pool with all his friends from explorers/ocean adventure. We convinced our kids to leave at 1:45 by taking them to the "pirate show," which was just OK.
