Review summary

Very nice boat the only problem we had is the ship is very large so they should have more buffet stations, something needs to change because sometimes it was mayhem

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The main dining room is best if you want to avoid the crowd and ignorant people jumping lines, just need better variety of food choices. Buffet was cool as long as you beat the crowd you don't want to be on vacation in long buffet lines.

Onboard Activities

Hard working and very nice staff throughout the ship. Felt bad for the ones cleaning the buffet area cause people are just messy and ignorant

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
We all loved the comfortable beds, but as far as the cleanliness it seemed like it was rushed from the very first time we stepped in the room. The rugs definitely could use a good cleaning

If you want the buffet get there early!

I agree with that... Esp later in the night only thing open was the pizza and the wait was long. Also the ice cream stations. Need more of them 👍
