Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Good. We didn’t understand you could order more than one thing at formal dining area so we missed out on that. The buffet was ok, I’ve had better. Deli was good, pizza good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Bingo, and other shows/games. Putt putt golf, water slides, pool. Pool was always over crowded.

Ship Quality

Very clean ship

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Clean, size was average. Bed was ok, I kept falling into the gap were they push beds together to make one. Pillows were good, air conditioner was awful! We stayed hot! Refrigerator did not work either.

Ship tip

Be patient elevators are slow. Or just take the stairs.

Wasn’t a fan of the A,B,C,D.. thing but we got through it and out to our car. Customs was nice, no issues at all.
