Review summary

We had a really nice time on the cruise. Weather was great, the ports were great. The only thing I didn't like was the Kids camp was open from like 9am to 12am then closed opened back up at 2pm closed again at 5pm opened again at 7 til 10pm then you had to pay extra after those hours. Most of the fun stuff was done when you had to pay extra and the closing so often was a burden. It should be staffed enough to stay open 9am-10pm and if the kids what to leave whenever to eat they could. Besides that I have no complaints about the cruise.

Why bother bringing them if you don't want to spend any time with them. Smh.

It's a shame you have to manage your own kids for lunch and dinner. Instead of them being someone else's burden.

I know the kids programs start at age 3, but do they have activities for toddlers under 3 that they can do with they're parents ???
