A great first family cruise. The service was amazing. The port stops were great.

Very quick and easy. Loved that lunch was already ready to eat when we got on board because we were so hungry. Hamburgers were great!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was great, but I especially loved that my entire family made it to the dinner in the dining room every night the waiters were so respectful and remembered and called us by name every night. They made us laugh and we never waited very long for anything. I would like to give a thanks to our waiters in the dining hall, Nengah and Mehmet for making our dinners so special.

Onboard Activities

Sauna in the spa and night clubs. My children enjoyed the arcade and water slide.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Many great musicians on board, really enjoyed them. There was always a place to relax and listen to music. Really enjoyed the family comedy show with Doug Williams. To bring my kids to the comedy show and see them laugh as much and as hard as the adults is a true talent. Thanks for that experience Doug Williams.

Children's Programs

They mostly enjoyed the arcade and the library. My kids are not very social and did not give the kid's club a real chance. If they knew there may be opportunities to win cards to spend in the arcade they may have participated.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All the service was so great. My kids looked forward to seeing a new towel animal in the room. Karaoke hostess was great. Our dinner waiters, Nengah and Mehmet made our experience very memorable.

Ship tip

It is a great first cruise for a family so you can get the feel of a cruise experience without breaking the bank. Now we can adventure on to bigger and longer cruises with a bit of experience and knowledge.
