Overall the cruise was okay. Definitely will not take teenager on this particular one again. One REALLY BAD experience was the safety "presentation" at the muster station. It was very unorganized. It was hot and humid and I was getting dizzy. Also, it was done while we were departing. We had a balcony and would have liked to be sitting out there while we were leaving the port.
Embarkation

Smooth and speedy
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The food was good, one of the best parts of the cruise; however, did not like rules of the liquor plan. Did not get it because 1. I think it's ridiculous to have to pay for it everyday even if you don't use it and 2. If one person in the room gets it, everyonee in the room has to get it. We end up buying 2 bottles (very overpriced) to be delivered to the room.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Pools and jacuzzis were overcrowded. Had a 16 year old with me and he wasn't able to enjoy the pools because he was too young for the adult pool, but there were too many little kids in the small pools and jacuzzis so he wasn't able to swim or get in jacuzzis. We tried ping pong and putt putt, but that was a challenge because since they are on the top deck we were fighting the wind (blowing the balls all around). He enjoyed the slide but only so much of that you want to do.

Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Happy with cabin size and cleanliness. Big stain (not mildew or dirt) on the shower curtain but it looked like some type of due (hair)
I was on liberty for the august 23 sailing. The muster drill was near negligent criminal.... if they don't put some since of urgency in that drill they will be sued when someone dies from heat stroke.
