Review summary

We had such a great time. We met so many nice people and enjoyed the entertainment, pools, casino and shops. There is so much to do, see and enjoy. The cruise is what you make, if go to have a good time you will have it!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We had an embarkation of 1:00-1:30. We walked onto the ship at 1:15 and was able to go right to our room. Fastest luggage delivery by 2:00! Easiest embarkation of all the nine cruises we have been on.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Always ate breakfast in the Southern Lights dining room and we had Your Time Dining in the Northern Lights Dining Room. Service in both dining rooms was excellent. Food was great and if we didn’t like something the wait staff would get us something else. Lunch was on Lido we enjoyed Guys Burgers, pizza, Mongolian Wok, Blue Iguana and the salad bar buffet. Cakes were amazing.

Onboard Activities

Ship tip

Love the beach, water was so warm.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We picked luggage take 27 since we had a later flight. We lounged by the lanai until our group was called. We walked off the ship, luggage was available. Breezed through customs right onto the bus for the airport. Excellent disembarkation experience.
