Review summary

Great experience for our first cruise, will do another. I can see now why people become hooked on cruises. Best bang for you buck, all the food you can stand, drinks are perfect and beer is cold. What else could you ask for?

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Excellent, parking was easy, lines moved quickly and everyone was so nice.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

From breakfast to snacks, all the food was excellent. Very well prepared and presented. Guy Hamburgers could possibly be the best thing on the ship!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Pools were nice, little crowded but nice. Gym was very well organized and staff friendly.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

All shows were top notch, don't think I could have paid for better entertainment. The singers/dancers were amazing and production was spectacular. All the comedians were great too.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our Steward Imad, (we were in room 2437) made sure our stay was perfect. Rooms were always cleaned, beds made and anything we needed, he made sure we got. I do have one question, does Matt (Cruise Director) ever sleep? He was everywhere and very entertaining!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Clean, well laid out. Keeps you walking, which is a good thing after all the food you eat.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Room was nice, beds comfortable. Showers were small but that is understandable. Drains seemed to be slow so, we always had to clean up water after a shower so, I would look into the drains if that is something that can be done.
