Review summary

Kids had a blast and loved all the ice cream. We enjoyed all the fun activities throughout the day. The app was really easy to use. Only felt crowded on sea days. Our only complaint was the food. It was just ok.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Didn't have to wait hardly at all to get through security. It was a little jammed up getting from the document counter over to the metal detectors. Not much guidance finding our muster station.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The buffet was horrible. MDR was better. Guys Burgers, Blue Iguana, Pizza, and the Asian place were great.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Lots of fun activities and shows. We didn't have time to do everything we wanted.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Saw a couple shows and two comedians.

Children's Programs

2 out of 5
The activities were done at different times than listed in the app. My daughter was super sad she missed an art class. I even asked at the desk before I dropped her off.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Everyone was very quiet. Not rude but not super friendly either.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Restaurants were very clean. Hard to navigate some floors. Had to go up and around. Can't walk straight through some floors. The carpet in the hallways was badly stained. Some rust around pool areas. Rips, burn holes in many of the lounge chairs.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our room was great. Plenty of storage. Was nice having the second bathroom.
