Creator's Key Takeaways

I will say having been on 60 other cruise ships most of the time embarcation is fairly smooth

the Ocean View cabin was extremely spacious this was just a standard Ocean View um and there was just so much room in it

I did not witness any wild and crazy fights which is great for us and great for our baby

this was one of the most fun cruises that we have had as a family

Creator's Tips & Advice

Print your boarding pass in advance, even though it may not be used.
Visit the Fortune Teller bar for unique drinks.
Consider the roller coaster, but be aware there is a charge.
