Review summary

Enjoyable cruise with kids and grandkids. The weather was great and the ports were enjoyable. No problem at the Jacksonville port coming or going. Will probably do this one again next year.

5 out of 5
Very fast and easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was OK, nothing special. Brunch in the dining room was good.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Too much smoke in the casino. I was not able to stay long. Beer was a little too expensive except in the buffet (self serve). Grandkids loved the water slides. Nothing much in the shops.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The band playing at the Rock Show was very good. The singers were marginal.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Great service both in cabin and in the dining areas.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was clean and well-maintained. Elevators were all working well with very little waiting.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
No problem with the cabin. Very quiet and comfortable.

Ship tip

Cabin towards the stern very quiet. Little or no waiting for elevators. I would stay on the 4th floor again.

If you don’t mind me asking, how old are your grandchildren? I will be on the Ecstasy next year with my grandson and my great granddaughter. They will both be 13 at that time.
