Review summary

A very large ship full to capacity. Bermuda was beautiful. Nice beaches and water views. It was impressive how the crew keep up with the crowd. Only experienced issues with the excursion desk and La Cucina restaurant while on board.

The ship has adult only areas. The adult areas need to be monitored more closely by the crew. On our cruise babies in diapers, kids and teens entered the adult area and adult only pools.

No greater love is there than that of a child's mother. Enjoy life!

Now I wouldn't be rude or combative...if I was asked nicely yes I would remove my child... But the way some of these ppl have attacked my charter n parenting pissed me off... So of course I'm not gonna b nice on here.. But again me and my child travel just the 2 of us... So he goes where I go...

Please people...no need for unpleasantness. I did witness an adult bringing a child into the Vibe club adult area. When asked to remove the toddler, the adult became very nasty with the crew member, using the same argument...we don't bother anyone. Then with security. Then the supervisor. The result was the adult, child and friend were removed from the ship at the next port for violating their cruise contract. They had to get home at their own expense. Shame to see. What a waste.

No he wouldn't go to a bar or casino... Those are legit adult. Areas... A pool is s pool.. And we do enjoy all those things together.. I am a single parent that takes just me and my son in these vacations that is the main reason y he goes everywhere I do... And yea he suppose to be in school but this is our yearly tradition.. Same time every year...

If you don't like adult only rules, maybe a cruise with all kids would be better suited for you. PS: Shouldn't your kid be in school in October?

Well I do not have kids, but if I did I'm sure I'd teach them about following rules. It's great you enjoy spending time with him/her, but how about enjoying that time in the arcade, slides, playing mini golf, watching movies on the back deck at night, etc. There are plenty of kid friendly things to do. Would you try taking him/her to a casino or bar? Rules are rules and they should be followed.

I love spending all my free time with my child... Sorry u don't.. And I wish someone would say something to me or my kid... U all talk real tough behind this keyboard... I bet not one person would say anything to me... And my kid don't make a fuss... Don't bother anyone... We go just me and him in these vacations... So we spend all our time together... Waaaaahhhh the kids ruin my vacation!

Why would anyone want their kids to be with adults only? Weird! As others have said there are plenty of other places to go. I will not be on your cruise, but if I was I'd have no problem saying that to you in person. Hopefully others on this cruise will speak up.

First off the two of you don't know me to call me a jerk... Again my child will be with me where ever I go... You don't like it walk away... He and I do not bother anyone... And unlike u jen I don't need or want a break from my child... So see u both at the adult area... Hope we are all on the same cruise... And I hope you both have the balls to say all this in person...😉😉...

Well... I hope you are comfortable with the fact that you are raising a child who will have no respect for laws or policies and will end up being as disrespectful as you are. Your child I'm sure is an amazing child now. Unfortunately, your behavior and example will most likely cause this to change. Have a great cruise!

And it's unfortunate that ppl like you complain about it... If you don't want to be around kids find a cruise without them! Cuz again I pay for me and my AMAZING child to be on that ship so we gonna be ALL OVER THE SHIP! Sorry not sorry!!😏😏

It is unfortunate that some cruisers believe that the posted policies do not apply to them! Adults Only areas are just that.... there is no reason why anyone with a child in tow should be using these areas. There are plenty of other places.

I have traveled on this ship in 2013... With my child... And yes he was wondering in and out of "adult" only places.. He didn't bother anyone... Didn't scream or cause a commotion... But if he did it come with traveling on a ship that is family friendly.... Just saying... And we will be in this ship again in October... He is older and he will continue to come with me to "adult" only places...
