Review summary

Had a great time relaxing and really enjoyed it. Can't wait for my Christmas cruise.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Took about 30 minutes to get through the line and I got there at exactly 10:30 as I was supposed to. Everyone was polite and respectful.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Guys restaurants were my favorite. Really loved the burgers but the donkey sauce had no flavor. His BBQ sauce was really watery but didn't taste watered down. The lido buffet was decent. Sandwich shop was good, really liked the Cuban sandwich. Mongolian bbq was ok, I would have liked my lo mein noodles a bit more soft so I didn't finish it. The French toast is the main dining room was probably the worst of my dishes. It was so thick that the outer part was dry and the inner part was too mushy.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Daytime activities were a bit disappointing. The comedy shows and musical was fun but i just wish there had been more options during the day besides trivia and crafts.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The music was pretty outdated and mostly country. Their performances were good just wish more modern and popular music had been played..

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
My daughter liked going to Circle C and really didn't seem to have any complaints about it. She made the bear at the build a bear activity. I wish they would have given the children a bag of stuffing and let them stuff the animal themselves but I understand covid protocols.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Every single staff member was so polite, respectful, and helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Staff was constantly cleaning areas.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was plenty of room for my teenager and I. The pillows were amazingly comfortable. The mattress was a a bit lumpy but nothing I couldn't handle. I brought a fan and had the ac turned all the way low but I still had trouble sleeping from being too hot. Next time I'll pack a light blanket.

Ship tip

Bring long extension cords if you like to play on your phone at bedtime. If you like snacks, bring some from home. The lido deck is only open for meals and sometimes I just want some nachos and dip or chips or crackers and not a full meal or sweets.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
They turned off most the elevators before we could get off. I couldn't find my murder station or anyone to tell me where it was.
