We had a great time on our first cruise. I only wish they'd had a bit more organized for kids in the 8 - 12 range. Plenty for them to do on board...just not as much organized which made me feel like I needed to be their personal cruise directors.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
once we discovered which port we needed to arrive at, it was excellent (line moved very quickly)
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Food and service at Main Dining Room and Windjammer cafeteria was excellent. Plenty of variety at both.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
We all (kids and adults) enjoyed the water slides and pool(s) every day. Movies on deck were a favorite as were the shows in the theater.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Enjoyed the music and stage shows.
Children's Programs
3 out of 5
They didn't seem to have anything organized for kids aged 8 - 11. They had spaces for teens and programs for really young kids but not much for in between. I kind of felt like I needed to be the cruise director for my kids much of the time.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our waiter in the Dining Room was great - he knew menu inside and out and had great descriptions and recommendations. We never felt rushed nor had to wait long for food or drink.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
It was a little tight for 4 people but we spent very little time in the cabin.
