Review summary

For a first timer, embarking fiasco was enough to put a bad taste in my mouth. To be denied restrooms and burning up sucked!

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Waiting in line in the hot sun burning being served warm water and refused bathroom service for 4 HOURS!!!gross misconduct!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food is amazing. Wish there was more of a choice of free/inclusive room service and continental is definitely not cold cuts!!!!

Onboard Activities

We had so much fun and loved the fact of the O2 Club for my teen to make new friends!

Or steward was amazing! Very helpful. All staff was polite with the exception of one person. I addressed that situation.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

A bit noisy between one side fighting and slamming doors at 1am to getting woken up by kids slamming doors and running at 7am

Cabin / Stateroom
