Review summary

The cruise was a lot of fun for our family - three boys ranging from 7 to 15 years old. Ports were great, ship was just the right size. The ship seemed to be VERY quiet after dinner, which left the parents with little to do some nights, but it's better than some ships where you can't find ANYWHERE for five minutes of quiet, I guess.

Love, love, love this cabin. Lots of room for a family of five. Beds not particularly comfortable, but not any worse than most cruise ships.

You are right, on some cruises there are no quiet spots. I know that you had a good time if your kids were happy.
