Review summary

This cruise might be good for families, but little room and activities for the adults. The Comedy Club was great, and we enjoyed the nightly entertainment, but overall, we prefer all inclusive because you are on your own schedule and have ample time to explore. Thoroughly disappointed in the alcohol (see other comments).

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Took about 45 minutes from arrival to be on the ship, not awful but not fantastic

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Food was fine, not excellent. Drinks were weak. In fact, one night my husband and I bought a pitcher and it contained no alcohol, when it was a punch and should have contained a few different types of alcohol. Luckily, we had the server take it back and he apologized and gave us another one. This was our last night on the ship and it left me wondering if a lot of our alcoholic drinks were served alcohol-less.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Events were fun but the pools are very small and over-crowded

Ship tip

You are on the ship's schedule. Don't plan to sleep in. Announcements start most mornings at 8am and housekeeping is vaccuuming outside your room at 7:30am.

Poor planning. Kids are everywhere during summer break. To minimize that you should travel when kids are in school.
