Review summary

The ship itself was kept spotless.  The crew was very helpful and friendly.  The room stewards were very reliable and always attentive.  I definitely would recommend choosing the Specialty Restaurant package to enhance your experience.  The complimentary restaurants are OK, but the food and desserts tend to be similar among the four complimentary restaurants.  The Windjammer is good for families with young children.  The food in the Windjammer is nothing fancy.  The bumper cars were fun, but it's about a 30-45 minutes wait.  Get there early.  Overall, you will enjoy this ship and the activities and entertainment they provide.  Check-in was fast.  Check-out was slow.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This cabin was clean and good for two people. Anymore than two people will be tight. The view was great and unobstructed. If you are looking for a good balcony cabin this was the one. The height was perfect being on Deck 12. The mattress was not too comfortable and should be replaced. Overall, good cabin mid-ship.

Ship tip

Purchase the Specialty Dining package, and also the WiFi is good to have unless you prefer to be totally disconnected, then that's fine too. We found the later dining times to be best for us since they also have a show every night about 10-10:15pm.

The Dolphin Quest shore excursion was not cheap, but it still was a great experience for all. The photos there are expensive.
