Review summary

This was our first cruise as a family (my second) and it was a great first cruise for folks who aren’t sure if they will like it. Plenty of time on land, a relaxing day at sea, tons of great food, good shows, great teen center for my 15 year old to hang out. I’d do it again if I just want to cruise for a couple days on the cheap. Service was great, staff are all so friendly!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All the food choices were amazing. Guys burger was the first thing we ate, along with some random items from the lunch buffet. Don’t use out on those burgers! Taco bar on the Lido deck is also really good. Sit down dinner was amazing, we made ourselves sick with all the food choices! Do yourself a favor and share plates so you can try everything but not get sick.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We loved going to the trivia sessions in the afternoons. We had tv theme show songs, and Harry Potter trivia. Both lots of fun!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were great, we went to both late shows and then to the comedy shows. Some of the comedy was ok, some was just vulgar for The sake of being vulgar. I’m not a pride but do like some wit to my comedy.

Children's Programs

My son had a blast going to the teen center and made new friends that were actually from the same city as us. Definitely made my son love the whole experience.
