This was a gift for my daughter this past Christmas - it was well received though it took a while to set up as you had to apply all the stickers (Mattel - it would be a joy to all parents plus look a lot better if the designs were simply printed on)

She enjoyed playing with it and it had plenty to keep her occupied - a jacuzzi, lots of different accessories lend well to imaginative play, music , sound effects and lights. And to be fair, this was one of her favorite toys that was played with frequently.

The issue was durability. Barbie toys are often not the most durable, but some are worse than others and this unfortunately fell into that category. The ship opens up in the center, and within a short 4 month period of careful play, was not lining up correctly or shutting as it should. The top which opens would spring back up and by 6 months refused to close at all.

Its a shame as this is a fun toy for little girls. Right now the price is pretty low so its a good deal for the money, but really, it would be nice if Barbie products with a big name like mattel behind them, could have the quality to go with the creativity!

Yes the music is way too loud but its that way on any barbie toy, my 9 yr old has the barbie house that also makes alot loud sounds like the toilet flushing & disco music so I just close her door when she is playing w/ it. She really wanted this boat but I thought $70 was way too much for it so I waited for the price to go down and Amazon came through for me, I got it for $40 w/ free shipping. Gotta love barbie & Amazon.

My 5 year old daughter got this for Christmas. She has played with it every day since then and absolutely loves it. It stores nice and neatly on the shelf (with everything inside the ship!!) And is easy to open and set up for play. She loves the fact that she can either make a water slide or drop down the disco ball for dancing.

I LOVE the frustration free packaging. I had the boat out and ready for play in no time. The hardest part was the precision sticker placing. But that went very smoothly. The boat makes 3 sounds - animal noises (dolphins and birds), a ship horn, and disco music. None are too loud or down right annoying. All in all I would recommend this to a friend!
