Review summary

This ship was clean and the servers and cleaners worked really hard. The food was mediocre and I never had an amazing meal. I didn't pay the $30 to eat in the steakhouse, which is supposed to be better but I did go to the sit down meals every night. We did have a few things that were good but I was never blown away by anything I ate. Even though there were over 4,000 passengers we never felt like the ship was overly crowded. There were some lines but nothing too crazy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The only thing really exceptional about the dininig was the Servers

Entertainment

3 out of 5

There were lots of things to do but the Singers on the ship and the main performers were horrible. We had a great comedian and the Casino was fun and they had a fun nightclub.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

I don't have kids but they ALWAYS had something going on for them. Good thing since there were 1,000 kids on our ship because of spring break

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Would have given them a hirer score but the barteneders had poor attitudes!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Clean, which I appreciated. Even though this ship was new it was decorated like it was built in the 90's..kind of odd

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Rooms were simple and we had a inside cabin on the 2 floor, but it was really comfortable.
