Quick and easy embarkation. I really like the Galveston port. It was our second time to sail from here and we've always gotten on the ship quickly and easily

Service and Staff

The staff was amazing. Our wait staff went above and beyond on so many occasions. Our room steward was awesome. He was always engaging the kids and making them feel like the center of his universe. All others we interacted with were friendly and courteous and always helpful.

Cabin / Stateroom

Our room was perfect for the 4 of us. We had enough room for our stuff, even in the bathroom.

Ship tip

If you are a non smoker, stay on the starboard side of the casino. The port side can get pretty smoky.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

The day we got off the ship they were experiencing problems with their ramps so we had to disembark from Deck 0. It was still done so quickly and so well. It took us about 10 minutes from our room to the curb.
