Review summary

We went during winter break.  A lot of kids and college kids.  We had about 4000 people on board.  A lot of activities on the boat.  Climbing wall, skating, bumper cars,  Riptide.  Indoor Skydiving.  There is something for everyone to do.  All kinds of music offered in different locations through out the boat. 

 

The negative the food isn't very good, but honestly we cruise a lot and we always choose the best deal, all the cruise lines, food is lacking.  Out of all the complimentary restaurants, our favorite was the Solarium Bistro, mediterean food offered.  I love the sinks where you can clean your hands before going into the Windjammer.  That Purcell that they do offer as an alternative, dries out my hands.

 

Not a fan of the décor of the ship, but it was very clean. They have a great internet package that is so much better and less expensive than other cruise lines. 

 

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
I liked the Solarium Bistro and the normal dining room, but Windjammer was the same food daily. Also they start cleaning the food up before the end of the lunch period. from 11am until 330p. Went down about 310pm and most of it was cleaned up and you had to scamper to find something.

Actually the Purell does not dry hands it contains Aloe and Vitamin E. I worked in a hospital for 32 years and before Purell my hands would dry and my skin woul crack from the constant hand washing but when Purell came out all that dryness and cracking stopped
