Review summary

The staff was so friendly and helpful. There was always something going on, from BINGO, to shows, to karaoke, to just relaxing by the two pools. I would suggest trying as many of the free restaurants that you can and try different foods. If you don't like something, just ask for something else. 

 

Since this was my very first cruise, I did a lot of research on what to pack before I went. I ended up packing too many clothes. However, I did buy towel clips and a mesh shoe rack to hang on the back of the door. It was great since I didn't have a lot of extra space.

Obviously, we didn't spend much time in our room. However, the room was spacious. I loved that we had a balcony so we could go read or just watch the waves go by.

Ship tip

The portions are smaller than American sizes, so feel free to get a couple appetizers to try. You may not have the chance to eat the food the next night. The menu changes nightly. The chocolate lava cake is a MUST!
