Review summary

This was our first cruise and it was amazing! the kids camp was great, just wished they didn't have a break from 5-7pm as it was slapped right in the middle of the evening activities. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The food was good, but may have had a better selection for dinner, especially in the lido marketplace. The included beverages were lacking (lemonade, coffee, water and sugar-free iced tea) and the alcoholic beverages were watered down. overall i recommend this cruise line and ship. i would definitely cruise again, and again, and again!

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The cabin was small, we had to make some adjustments the first night with moving the bed to the wall so that we had more space. however the room steward assisted us and they made all the arrangements. the room service and cleanliness was superb. unfortunately our room (which i didn't know upon booking) was right above the liquid lounge where they hold several shows. So at night..very late at night, we had VIP seating from our room to all of their shows which was a bit annoying and LOUD. luckily my husband and my kids are heavy sleepers so it didn't bother them too much. but note to self, always check the room's location and whats above and below in order to avoid this in the future.

Ship tip

Try to book a cabin in the middle or front of the boat and decks 6 and above

Glad you overall enjoyed your first cruise. Unfortunately on all cruise ship the basic rooms are 185 square feet. To get more space you have to bump up to the junior suites or better. Unless you plan on spending a lot of time in the cabin, it isn’t really worth it.
