Loved the casita on port day. Staff is super nice.

Embarkation

Could not have been easier. Parking lot to lunch in 20 min .

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Overall, good. The food in all venues gets a bit redundant. I’ve had genuinely unique menus (bread through desserts) on other cruise lines. Food tasted defrosted and not actually “cooked” at times - the processed fried chicken breasts - and the desserts were of an industrial quality. Still, mostly tasty.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

My family loved pickleball, and the escape room was high-tech and worth the extra cost. Loafing around (free) is always great. I do wish their trivia games were in a bigger venue. There was always a fight for seats.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Games shows and ice skating show were really terrific. The production shows are the worst of any major cruise line.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was very kind and professional. They were a highlight and earned their gratuities.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Some of the areas seemed under staffed, so prompt clean up was not always there. Otherwise, very good.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

We had an interior cabin, which was small but comfy. Water pressure was excellent even though the shower is tiny. Not recommended for those who get seasick.
