Review summary

Good spring break cruise. Ship was full but rarely felt crowded. The percentage of kids 16&under seemed high but never really bothered me aside from a group that like running down the hallways.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Gangway shifted so had to wait about about 40 minutes after checking in before boarding

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Every time I or anyone else in my group ordered a melting cake, it was WAY over cooked. Everything else was as it should be.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Window room, nothing fancy, but everything was what it should be.

Ship tip

The ship is small and is easy to navigate. The middle elevators don't go to the lido deck. So there is usually no wait for them getting to all other floors.
