Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining room food was hit or miss from the taste being off to not cooked properly . The deli & pizza stations were amazing & always seemed to have the hottest freshest food. Room service never came and called after our time it was for breakfast to be brought between 8 & 830 at 9 still not there said they were busy due to being in port.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pool was too cold for an adult to enjoy & hot tubs were always jammed packed with people didnt feel safe going in with a ton of people . Spa was amazing but pricey I would have never gone if I was not given a gift card.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The cruise director made this cruise he was always somewhere entertaining the crowd and when he saw you on the hallway or out & about he made apoint to stop say hi and chit chat to see how the day was going. The shows were entertaining as was the trivia and interactive audience games . Tons of fin

Children's Programs

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
The waitstaff in the main dining room as long as if it was early in the evening were excellent but if you caught them before closing they were short and don’t care if something was cold or not to your liking. Our room steward was amazing and attentive to detail . All other staff we came in contact with were helpful , friendly & outgoing

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The overall ship had a clean feel I was impressed to see crew daily cleaning the public areas of the ship , vacuuming , polishing , cleaning restrooms . I just wish they cleaned to nooks & crannies of the ship seats , windows , bar tables .

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Good size , small bathroom , smoky smell came out of vent when air was on . Sewer smell came out of potty when lid was open . The shower curtain needs a better design as the floor was always flooded out thank goodness for drains.

Ship tip

Bring room spray , sanitizer , snacks , electrolyte replacements ,extension cord, throw blanket .

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Quick & easy as well was expecting more from customs they just checked your ID , while visiting a foreign country I would think a bag check or scanner would be needed.
