Review summary

We booked this cruise for our daughter’s senior year spring break trip! We traveled with 2 other families and other than not seating us together for dinner, we enjoyed the cruise and all of the ports. We would recommend the cruise to others.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We were disappointed because they were unable to accommodate our group of ten. There were three families traveling together and they put one of the families downstairs and the rest of us were upstairs! Our waiter, (Kitty), did a good job but unfortunately we didn’t dine in main dining room because we were not together. The temperature of the food on the buffet was often times not very warm. The burgers were fantastic! We also enjoyed the burritos! Our

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It would be nice if they offered a queen size bed other than two twins pushed together! My husband and I actually enjoy sleeping with one another and the crack proved to be uncomfortable! Nyoman kept our rooms so clean and he was always extremely friendly!

Ship tip

Make sure you attend one of Ben’s shows! Definitely try a cheeseburger! It would be nice if some of the bars offered separate lines for kids ordering non alcoholic drinks vs alcoholic drinks!
