Pool is often full of kids who seem unsupervised by their parents. My daughter wanted to swim so I sat close and watched, I found myself having to ask other kids not to jump in the pool as they seem...
to have little regard for the multitude of signs saying 'No Jumping'. Deck chairs around the pool are not easy to come by with many leaving belongings and disappearing. Staff do come to check on the pool occasionally but I did have to complain about the danger because of the volume of kids jumping before I saw a staff member attend the pool.I personally opted not to swim as the thought of others seeing a plus size ladies lower half through the viewing window as they came up the stairs did not appeal to me... Not sure about that design feature.

special kids dinners etc. The staff were great. At the end of our cruise they held a talent show and allowed the kids to opt in to performing if they wanted.

Not something I had handy, staff were great though and helped her find an alternate piece of music that they had available.
