Review summary

Was overall a great family memory making time. If I would pick one thing that made it so great it would be our dinner staff: Thanchanok, Utomo and I Nyoman we absolutely fantastic!! Another highlight that everyone really, really enjoyed was the magician coming around to our dinner table doing magic tricks !! All the grandkids and adults were amazed and delighted !! Alan was truly amazing!!

Embarkation

Great but I expected it to be since I purchased ahead of time the faster to the fun package for all 3 of our rooms

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Buffet was a little overwhelming so after the first day of waiting in extremely long lines we opted for the sit down restaurants that were included. We did not go to any specialty restaurants. Our evening dining was absolutely fantastic!! We were fortunate to have anytime dining in our cruise package so we set at the same table all but one of the elegant nights and our service team: Thanchanok, Utomo and I Nyoman were amazing!! They made all of us including our 6 grandchildren feel special and appreciated!! If there is any way could you please express our gratitude to them again. Saying thank you to them doesn’t seem to be enough!! That team is way above a 5 star rating!!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Everything we could. Trivia, line dancing, karaoke, magic show, comedy shows. We did the bingo but it was in my opinion pricy $25 for lowest package for 3 games 🙄

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Only went the one stage show… Rock and Roll but it was very good!!

Children's Programs

Kids really didn’t want to be separated from the family we were more interested in being together making memories!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All were great but having the drink package with gratuity included we felt like the signing of tickets for every single drink was ridiculous and time consuming for not only us but the staff. Clearly needs to be paperless and quit searching for additional tips !! It was extremely annoying.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Yes it was extremely clean and the layout was easy to navigate.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It’s was good…do wish that 1379 and 1381 could have been connecting rooms I believe the grandkids would have really liked that !!

Ship tip

Not sure I should have done the trip with Belize port…seemed to be unsafe and the excursion we did due to that was not all that great.
