The venue and food are absolutely top notch.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Overall the oportunity to engage in activities onboard were available. We decided to spend the bulk of our timebin the adult section sunning our pale bodies and relaxing. There was large group on board that brought the loud abrasive language and disruptive behavior to the hot tubs making the atmosphere less than enjoyable. Ship security did become involved, but their direvtion was rebuffed, so we with other passengers decided to retire to a different location of the ship.
