Still had fun even though I hurt myself before the cruise and had a hard time getting around. The weather wasn’t great either, didn’t see the sun much.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

I like the old Main Dining menu better than the new menu. Love Guys Burgers. Ate them everyday for lunch.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Didn’t get the chance to use the pool or layout because of the weather.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The shows were ok but I especially loved the Violin music with LuVia duet. They were incredible. They could play anything. They had great musical talent throughout the ship to listen to.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was very helpful, friendly and a pleasure to work with.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

On the small side but was clean. I brought a small shoe holder to put behind the bathroom door and that was extremely helpful because there wasn’t a lot of shelf space.

Ship tip

The weather wasn’t the best and I had hurt myself before the cruise but it was very relaxing and I was just happy to be spending time either way my son. Make the best of your situation and have a positive attitude!!!! You are on a cruise.

I had signed up to swim with the pigs but because of my injury, I had to cancel. I was so disappointed. So, we ended up walking around the shops. I should say my son pushed me in a rented wheelchair, from the ship, around the shops.
