Review summary

Great affordable cruise for families. We took our grandkids and they took advantage of the kids program and the splash area and water slides. Enjoyed the free BBQ Buffet on Ocean Cay. Also rented jet skis which drivers were required to stay in line with a designated area for us to follow the leader.
