Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Buffets-if you dont eat the food immediately gets cold fast...main dining-food was good, but not alot of selections, but always hot, which was a plus..sea day brunch and breakfast was great..specialty restaurant (guys burgers-great everytime), pasta (ate there for lunch, build your own bowl, awesome).. pig and anchor (disappointing)
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Serenity area was great..whirlpool had a perfect temperature..other pools were good..not as crowded as predicted..spa was good, just had issues with customer service...some activities overlapped, so that was a problem..comedy was great..visited the Thriller. Saw Polar Express nits was great 4D
Spa
2 out of 5
The service was fine.scheduked a 90 minutes hot stone message..I watched the time..only performed at 55 min massage..when question got very defense and rude. Be aware that they are not giving you you're money worth.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
All the performers were great. However, the stage shows have been the same for the last few years just different choreography..carnival should update. The best performers are the Sea Sharps..amazingly awesome.
The Thrill Theater
5 out of 5
Saw Polar Express. Oh my God..so awesome, felt like I was in the snow on the train..
Children's Programs
2 out of 5
My child was in Circle C. They need more activites other than video play...that might be okay for boys..but not all girls play video games.
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Main early seating dining staff was great, got to know you're name and what you're likes were. Room steward was very attentive (when we did see him, did call us by name). Other personnel was okay...except the spa
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
It was fine and always clean
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Everything was nice. Only problem is that since we were so close to the midship elevators , if an event was going on late in the lobby, you could hear everything..so you wanted to turn in early..very loud.
Ship tip
It's a very nice ship..pretty much like the other ships.
Didnt do an excursion this time..in the past have went to Playa de Mia..only problem is the vendors, they really need to know how to stop harrassing..but Fat Tuesday was good..recommended the wings and Tropical Itch drink
It's nice. No excursion. Only problem was the length of time there..had to be back on board by 1:15. So, not able to enjoy the port as much. But nice pool area and watching people with the dolphins was great.
