Traveled with children

The entertainment was amazing and diverse enough to suit every member of our group. I saw everything from broadway worthy performances to side splitting comedy shows. There was ice skating, zip lining, flow rider and fitness center for the more aactive and adventurous. There was also load of live music and late night clubs to entertain. We even had a chance to participate in a flash mob. There was no young children in our group but I saw plenty activities they were involved in. The teens in our group were so engaged that we hardly ever saw them except for breakfast and dinner. There was even time for a spa treatment. We could have spent the entire time without ever having to leave the ship. The staff went above and beyond to make out experience positive. Our basic inside state room was surprising spacious and well maintained. The food in the dining room and restaurants was sublime. The wait staff learned our names and preferences from the first night and had favorite drinks ready the next night as soon as we sat down. The Ports were okay for a few hours if you are into shopping or signed up for a ship shore excursion. Personally I thought was more activity to do on the ship. The only sour note was take there were a few nights where there was plumbing issues between 2am and 5am and that guest service had long lines dues to reduced staff after 12am, even though hundreds of guests were still active at that time.

Cabin Review

Interior

Spacious. Clever design and storage. Attendant kept it clean, at the right temp and didn’t made herself unobtrusive.

Port Reviews

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

We had priority boarding so we went in early and through quicker lines. It would have been a 5 star experience except that there was an issue with one of the group’s paperwork. They were polite but firm about needing everything in order. Fortunately the person lived locally and were able to joins us after collecting the paperwork.

Nassau

We toook a local licensed tour guide at the port for less that the ship excursion was offering. It was a basic 2 hour sightseeing with a rum tasting stop and a short visit to Atlantis. We also did some shopping at the pier shops.

Cozumel

The pier shops only entertained the group for about 2 hours. The adults enjoyed the free liquor and free jewelry giveaways, but the teens were easily bored. Fortunately there was lots to do back on the ships

Roatan

The sightseeing bus tour was informative and short. Lunch at a local place was the highlight of the day. There was good shopping and live entertainment on the pier afterwards.
