Review summary

I had a good experience overall. It was my first cruise so I don’t have anything else to compare it to. There’s definitely things I would do next time differently but I was not disappointed with my trip overall. The last day there was a wind storm so we stood in our rooms the whole time I can’t really complain besides that

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Rather easy and smooth we were there super early

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was rather repetitive. Wasnt awful though. One NO GO was the water. Use a bottle.... fill it with ice and use a sealed water bottle from your room.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
It was my first time cruising. Was fun. After hearing how much a cruise can actually offer I was bummed but had a fantastic time overall

Entertainment
