Review summary

This was my first cruise and I can promise it's not my last. In fact it is one of many to come . My family has decided to book a cruise every year and if possible more . There is no other way to travel than to cruise. We go as one big family. My husbands family and ours go together as our yearly vacation like reunions

Embarkation

5 out of 5
This was the first cruise I went on and didn't know what to exspect but it was the best experience ever. My 11 year old son went with my husband and I. This trip was for his birthday. They had birthday packagess and he got birthday cake and banner in our ocean view room. He was so happy. It was worth the money for his look of surprise.

Cabin / Stateroom

The room on the ship was comfortable and roomy. My son stayed on a bunk bed and they changed and made our beds with new animal character made out of wash clothes . It was just a wonderful experience. I have already planned another cruise to 9-day western Caribbean cruise from New Orleans , leaving on dec 13, 2017.
