Review summary

This is a great ship for families!! We had alot of fun on our 14-day cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We used the Medallion app and were able to check-in early. We were on the boats in minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Overall the food was very good. The only challenges was for non-meat eaters. The vegetarian options were redundant. The buffet was very easy to access and was never overly crowded. They have a great system, for ordering eggs (they provide a pager) so you are never waiting in line. The dining room was very nice and we seldom wait in line. I do wish they had an Asian (similar to Norwegian) that was no additional charge.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
This was the first cruise I have been on where there were real activities versus activities where they are trying to sell you something. The activities staff was wonderful and alot of fun.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Compared to other cruise lines I have been on, the main shows were a huge disappointment.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
The kids club was amazing!! The staff were nice, the room was great, and most importantly the kids wanted to go!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff and the service were great - no complaints. The guest services was especially helpful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I really liked this ship!! My only challenge is that they need to add more signage - it is difficult at times to know if you are heading to the front or the back of the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We had regular cabin with an obstructed view. The cabin layout was great. There was a large closet with lots of room to unpack!

Ship tip

There are alot of activities on board - take the time to review the list of activities.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

There is a ton of construction going on at this terminal. The traffic getting to the terminal was a nightmare.

Beaches and the sand are amazing - the town is okay.

Port of Spain
