They had ifly, NorthStar, flowrider, roller skating & basketball. Lots of activities & entertainment. A lot of people were participating so space fills up. Always expect some to be cancelled if bad weather pops up.

We are also staying at the Marriott next month before our cruise. Glad to hear it’s that close so we can walk! Glad you had a great time.

Too many kids on this trip. Full capacity and it seemed like 1/3 were kids
