Review summary
We do an annual Thanksgiving trip so the cousins (now 9, 10, 13 and 14 y.o.) can all get together and have a good time while the parents relax and enjoy some adult time. On paper, the boat sounds great for kids with go-carts, laser tag and a crazy slide that shoots you over the side of the ship. Problem is the go-carts and laser tag cost extra and the cool slide kids must weigh 99 lbs or more (so our 9 and 10 y.o. couldn't go). And with these other activities taking up so much space, there's no room for the usual basketball/volleyball courts, soccer court, etc... and other kid-centric play areas. But for the adults the ship is great. Good food, GREAT service and some fun shows/activities. Very clean and easy to navigate.Embarkation

Ship tip
While the go-cart race track and laser tag sound like it would be fun for the kids, note they are NOT included in your package and cost additional. Plus these activities take up a lot of space on the ship so no room for sports courts or other kids areas to entertain themselves.
