Review summary

We took our 4 year old grandson on this cruise. This ship was a nice time; however, I would choose one of the newer ships when taking him again. This had much more of an adult feel. Was upgraded from inside to balcony through their upgrade program. I bid on Oceanview and received balcony. I believe because ship was not full. We had no issues on board. It was a nice cruise.

When off ship, we were offered an excursion for the sand dollar resort.the sales woman said water, and chairs are provided. This was about a 45-minute boat ride to get there. The swimming was nice and water was beautiful, however there were no lounge chairs.
