Review summary
The ship was nice. The staff friendly. The Waiter and the cabin help were great ! The Kids program great ! Just nothing much to do in the evening if you dont smoke, gamble or dance. The ports were good, but missed out on staying on the ship by the pool, (which was cold) and relaxing.Ship experiences

Pros: What I liked most was the time with family. The food on one night wasnt too good, the shows were corny, except the comedian. The kids program I used right after Dinner every night so they could have some kid fun !. They played video games, transformed into pirates and did some crafts.
Cons: I missed having a day on the ship where you are just sailing. I was on the 3rd level. It was impossible to get an elevator. Getting off the ship took 5 hours ! With 2 kids, just sitting around or standing in line, was not good. Made the whole trip less fun
