Review summary

This ship wasn't the best, I went on the boat in 2016 and it was nothing like it was then. The bathrooms had a smell, there went as many activities as our previous trips,and same with the kids club. They mostly has free play, but wouldn't let my child play the ps4. I was very disappointed in this trip.

Ship tip

You are taking a risk. I went in this boat in 2016, was amazing, and it was nothing compared to this trip. I was in tears due to not having a great tine.
