Review summary

The ship was smaller than in used to. It would have been fine for a 5 day maximum but for 7 it was too small. I was very disappointed with the teen club with limited hours of operation and facility size.

The flow wasn’t bad as they moved you right on the ship.

Conquest class is the best size ship. Not too big. Not too small. Freedom is my favorite. Love her!

The size of the Conquest class ships fits us perfectly. Lots better service than on the larger ships and the crew is much more happier as they aren't so overworked

We’re you traveling with children? And was the child able to occupy themselves without the kids club?
