Review summary

Going to be a bit long for a review, bust have so much to say. Going to break it down by sections to help keep it organized. 1. Entertainment. The entertainment on board is by far the best I've ever experienced. We could not see all of it as it was just a 5 day cruise. Mama Mia was awesome. Great performance and vocals where on par. The ice show had me wanting to give a standing ovation every 5 min, the talent was unbelievable. The aqua show was incredible edge of your seat at times, but also funny and they mess with the audience. Didn't make it to any comedy shows, just wasn't enough time. 2. Food. Food was really good. We did main dinning 2 times, Giovanni once, Solarium once, wipe out Cafe once and Windjammer 2 times. Was not disappointed once. 3. The Ship. There is soooo much to do on this ship its impossible to do it all in 5 days time. What we did do was the flow rider, a lot easier then I expected and got great pictures, carousel was fun to try out, I expected its more entertaining for kids, didn't get to go on rising tide, it was not working 2 of the days. Not enough time to go ice skating, zip line, rock wall. The promenade is unlike any other ship. You felt like you where walking through a shopping mall. The Boardwalk felt like a carnival and central park while being in not such great shape due to the freeze was still very peaceful. The theater is huge, plenty of seating. 4. The Rooms. We stayed in a balcony ocean view. Plenty of room. We did not feel cramped at all. 5. Boarding. The port in Galveston was so smooth. From parking to getting aboard took less then 20 min. Extremely efficient. 6. Internet . The internet speed on board is very fast for a cruise line. Streaming with no buffering. We where able to upload videos and pictures to FB with no problems. Overall experience. I can't begin to describe how amazing this ship is. It is older now and needs a bit of an upgrade, but if you can look past that minor issue it is a beautiful ship with an outstanding crew.
