Review summary

Overall it was a great week away. Weather held up and was perfect for activities.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Super quick and easy! It was chaos getting out of our car and the speed to keep it moving but the luggage team and port team made it easy to keep it moving and get through as needed

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The MDR menu is a bit underwhelming. Only ate there 2 nights and chose specialty 3 of the nights due to that. Steakhouse and italian were fantastic though

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Music was great, didnt see a show other than love and marriage which was fantastic and so funny. The deck parties were later into the cruise which we thought was odd but overall great. CD was fantastic and saw him all over the ship

Children's Programs

3 out of 5

Overall they were great when we could use them. Our son is under 2 so there were only a few windows of time for him to participate in stay and play. Staff was very interactive and had plenty of toys and kept him laughing

Cabin / Stateroom

Spa cabin was great! Seas were a bit rough going out so being on deck 12 was a bit rocky. Room steward kept everything fresh and clean

Ship tip

Learn the ship day 1. The elevators are a mess at times as they are automated from outside and no buttons on the inside. Know where you're going and also where the other elevators are as the FWD get pretty packed
