Review summary

We did enjoy our cruise and as with most we are looking forward to taking another cruise already. We were also thankful for calm seas too.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We pre-checked in and had no lines. Straight on to ship

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was good and even tried some new dishes. It is also great to have someone else take care of you

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We always had something to do. Whether it was the pool, slides, and fitness center (we had the gym to ourselves???)

Entertainment

5 out of 5

My kids had us running from one end of the ship to the other to catch all the shows.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Awesome staff and were very patient with people as an observation.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

For the age of the ship...It is holding up well. Though there is not much space for redesign. I believe they could add a outdoor screen for movies.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I also had R138. The rooms were well maintained. My room had one adult and two teenage boys...all three of us 6ft...plenty of space

Ship tip

Enjoy the ocean views because it goes fast.

Walked the shops and found good gifts. Straw market is only place for the second visit found and pushing natives trying to push merch. We also had a great tour at Atlantis behind the scenes

Nice to hear that the ship is aging reasonably well. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.🛳. I am not surprised that you had the gym to yourselves, many people never find it and some of us avoid it.😏
