Review summary

Overall this was a great experience for my family of 6.  It offered flexibility that is appreciated with larger families.  Tips for future cruise families, book your excursions ahead of time, and drink and meal plans.  I was disappointed in the inability to dine at the other restaurants on the ship because I did not book prior to arrival I find that unrealistic with a large family or group to predict what and where the group wants to eat that far in advance.  Also the checking in process was very painful...long process of one line waiting to get in building, then one line waiting to go up escalator, then another line to go through security, then another line to get ID and give credit card info for cruise, it took more than 2 hours ugh please improve this for future passengers!!
