Review summary

I was traveling with my 18 year old niece. My suggestion is do NOT get the Wi-Fi package otherwise you will just see the tops of your teenagers heads and that is all. That was my mistake, just trying to be thoughtful. The cruise, staff and food were a bit less than I expected, but I generally use Princess, so I may not be the best judge,

Embarkation

5 out of 5

smooth and kept moving till we were on the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

The food on this ship was not very good at all and it seemed that the food locations were closed more than open.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

The very small pool was always overcrowded and it seems that there was minimal use of the waterpark by children.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our room steward, Esperanza was excellent, she could not have done more for us if she tried. Towel animals were awesome! Dining service was a totally different animal and were a real disappointment.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Common areas were very clean as were common restrooms.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

No complaints, it is what you would expect from a inside cabin.
