Review summary

We enjoyed every part of the vacation. Our room was fantastic and kids enjoyed being on the ship and shore excursions. Food and service was great. We enjoyed the pool and exercise room. The pool side barbeques daily were great and our kids were always smiling. The only thing I would ask is our room key and paying for things aboard. We were always nervous about carrying the room key around and if we lost it. We noticed that when we paid for things they never asked us for ID and if somebody got ahold of our key - they could do whatever they wanted. Not to bring up your competition but in Walt Disney World they have the Magic Band (Kinda like a watch) that gives you access to everything. YOu don't need you wallet. Once you swipe the band and enjoy your password - your done.

The first night they were board and never returned. But they did have fun at the pool and met friends.

I did lose my room card...no big deal had to go to customer service desk they froze card and gave me new one.....like someone said there is no room number on card

If you lose your room key, it does not compromise your security as no room number is displayed and when you go back on board, your photo comes up for security to see it is you.

Which room did you guys stay in? What type and what floor? We go in December. Myself and my 2 daughters, 13 and 19. Was it easy to reserve a spot at the pool?
