We tried EVERYTHING! This was the perfect cruise for our family! I could not have asked for a better experience for my first cruise! I AM HOOKED!

There are so many things to do and you need at least 7 nights and 8 days to get most of it done. The itineraries are amazing and at the port you can come and go as you please. Coco Cay was an amazing day and all that we could have hoped for at the beach.  We went snorkeling and it was calming and relaxing. 

We had a two bedroom Aqua Suite for four adults and it was perfect.  We had the Genie Service and it was so very helpful throughout our cruise. We were able to walk into the Laser Tag and have seating saved for the all the shows. It was an amazing experience.  I cannot wait to go again!
