Review summary

Will always go with FTTF from now on. A balcony is the way to cruise. The night shows were really good but having one very night would be great. The shops were good as well.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We had the FTTF so we got on right away.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Main dining room food choices weren't that great. We always go to dining room for supper on cruises but only went twice this time. We felt rushed and food was tasteless

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Ping pong, pool

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The shows were absolutely awesome but not enough of them

Children's Programs

My son was in the 12-14 group and he didn't go, the venu was way too small

We loved our cabin. Clean, service was great.

Ship tip

It's an older ship, maybe wait until it comes back from dry dock in the fall.

firstcar442, FTTF is Faster To The Fun. It costs extra, but you get priority when boarding, etc.
