Review summary

We had a good time. 5 days was long enough for all of us.

Port was organized well and we were able to board quickly

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

This score is for the drinks. We purchased the bubbles package for sodas and the only way you could get a drink was the bars. I personally don’t like myself or my children going to the bars to order. They were busy and weren’t as willing to wait on us for sodas. They need a snack bar or ability to get a soda or bottle of water somewhere other than at the bar. Food was good! My son loved the burgers.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The crew did the best they could. Our cruise was during spring break and there were lots of kids running around the whole time. So there’s was food in the elevators and stairwells. They were definitely busy!!
