Review summary

This is a very nice & clean ship. Loved our balcony room. Enough space for 2 adults, 2 kids. Cleaning crew kept our rooms spotless. Loved all the entertainment on board, especially the fun force break dancing show. Staff is great. Kids club area kept my 5 yr old very happy & entertained. Food in the restaurants just ok. Spent most time eating in the buffet area. Plenty to choose from. Loved the night time movies on the top deck under the stars. So many things to do. Will definitely cruise again.

In Camp Carnival they did face painting, had dance parties, played games, did a lot of crafts, and had free play..it was hard to pull my daughter away from there on our last cruise. You will get an itinerary for the whole cruise when you sign up on day 1, I usually have my daughter pick what she wants to do and that's when she goes.
