Enjoyed the hot tubs when they weren’t full of children. My kids enjoyed shuffleboard and the mini golf.

5 out of 5
Karaoke was so much fun! The violin performers were fabulous!!! They are a must see! The performers around the ship were fabulous as well!!!

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
My little one (9) enjoyed the kids club. She did say they combined their group with the infant/toddlers so it limited what they were allowed to do.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Lloyd was our room steward! He was wonderful! He called us all by name every time he saw us! The magician Tharun was great!!! We saw him nightly at dinner. My kids gravitated towards him.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was always clean! No issues with public spaces or public bathrooms.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
A little tight for 4, but we did it! We didn’t spend lots of time in our room, so it worked out fine for us.

Ship tip

Watch the violin players in the atrium! They were the best part!
