Review summary

It was a great bargain cruise. Fun for the whole family!

Embarkation

3 out of 5

The line was long, it took about an hour to get through security and onto the boat. This was definitely not my favorite part.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

All the dining spaces were kept clean. The food was good not great. All the food was all you can eat, which was a plus. They had a variety of different foods. The buffet and restaurants served something different every night.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

They had plenty of activities to keep you busy from comedy shows to music to the casino. There was a waterpark and a pool.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

All the performances were great!

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

We didnt bring our kids, but there was so much for the kids to do. The waterpark, pool, put-put, table tennis, kids club just to name a few were awesome.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The service was exceptional, some of the best I have had. For the most part we didnt even have to ask for anything, they came to us.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

They were constantly cleaning all around the boat all the time. For the most part things were easy to find, because there was a map right by the elevator to help get you where you needed to go. My only complaint would be the elevators took forever, so we just started using the stairs.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

It was always clean and the bed was comfortable. My only complaint was size, the bathroom was hard to manauver in, because it was so small.
