Well we are home just walked inthe door got off the boat at 7:45 was home and unpacked by 8:15!! So what you want to know is how was the cruise??!! It was good I cannot say great becasue we had some problems and dissapointments but Hey that is to be expected here is a brief rundown of positives and a few problems we had.
Positives
getting on was a breeze. go there at 11:45 was on by 12:00
everyone was very friendly and willing to go the extra mile.
the ship was beautiful we are now spoiled the food choices, etc are far better than rccl and carnival.
kids club was great my kids never wanted to leave
Negatives
the weather was bad for this cruise I know you cannot predict weather and I am not griping i am just stating the waether could have been better
We did not do Castaway Cay and this was a biggie as we have cruise many times and did not even get off in nassau as we have been there done that soo much. I am not really sure what the problem was it was really windy but we were docked for a very short time sooo... My kids were very upset at this as that is why we chose this cruise we see the charatcers all the time at disney so that was no biggie to my kids.
Now to our big problem and how it was handled when i got back from my spa on friday(nassau) around 10 ish there was a horrible fuel smell coming from our room. Hubby had already complained and they sent up a fan type thing. well it got worse and kids werecomplaing called guest services they came down andwalked into our room starting coughing covered there mouth and said this needs immediate attention well we were moved after about an hour and guess where... to cabin 7138 an aft cabin HUGE was a handicap room so extra huge closet room for kids to play on floor etc.. (althoughg be ware lots of emergency buttoms kids could push) thank god we covered them with books towels etc so they would not seethem!
we were in a cat 10 on deck 2 so that was GREAT!! only bad was we were not next to parents any more.. but Hey we had a great room.
Ohh some fyi's they were taping a show for extreme mackover home addition on this ship so crews were around alot
Will we do it again OF COURSE we LOVED IT our only thing was we were reluctent to go in feb as we are from florida and while some on board thought 65-70 was great for swimming etc we were cold!!! Very cold!!!!
Aft cabins it was nice we enjoyed the ruff seas and boy was it rough on the last night but everything squeeked groaned etc kept me up and also I was not thrilled about the metal railing My dad loved it but me I ike to be able to sit on balcony read a book and see the ocean and unless you were standing you could not see the water. Hoever if you like sunbathing there was plenty of room for the 2 lounge chairs and 4 reg chairs plus .. and oplenty of sun for laying out (if it had been warmer)
So we are definetly going to crusie with them again but another FYI tried to book for june 05 and they said mid may they are repositioning defietly will Not have 7 days out of port canaveral but could not say where from yet we are on the list for the repositining if it occurs after may 20th so we will see
thanks for putting up with my spelling errors ..
Oh yeah it was my self hubby boys 4 and 6 and gradnparents on theis cruise and i would be happy to answer any questions.. Oh yeah again NO problem changing to early seating and.. big dissapointment we did not see sticth.. not sure if he was there but we did not see him. also there was not as many places for pictures without characters just 2 places as compare to RCCL and Carnoval which has t leats 6 different poses scenes to choose form in you formal wear.. so we are hoping to book a great cabin with huge verenda that is see though for june any suggestions on cabin numbers that are big and have big balconies???
