Review summary

We took same ship last year and was much better. This year childcare was too crowded and we couldn't get our kids in everyday. Plus buffet cooks were very slow and lazy as if they were not happy with something! Still for folks with no childcare need it's a good value

Security took us hostage because cashier wasn't able to make his laptop work. After half hour waiting and yelling, along with many people in same shoes, we bit the bullet and returned to long line at concierge desk. It turned out ship owes up $50!!!! Then we were allowed to get off
