Review summary
It was not obvious when we booked that this would be a "Nickelodeon at Sea" cruise. Over 1200 children were on board to meet SpongeBob, Dora and company. Half of the evenings the entertainment was strictly for kids. We could not find a quiet place on board and often retreated to our balcony for some peace. Even that was short lived as a child in the next cabin was prone to loud tantrums. I was awakened at 1:30AM by his screaming that he couldn't sleep (probably because his dippy mother took him to the chocolate buffet at 11:00 PM). This cruise was a disaster for anyone without children.Ship experiences

Pros: Food, service, beautiful ship
Cons: It was a Nickelodeon cruise and filled with young children. They took over the entire ship and there were no "kid free" areas. Not recommeded for travelers without children unless you like being stepped on, bumped into, and lots of noise everywhere!
