Review summary

As an experienced cruiser on the class I expected more from this ship. It is evident to me that the cruise director and activities staff are essential for an overall superior experience.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Smooth... Room was ready when I got aboard.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Same menus, but good.

Prime Steakhouse

3 out of 5

Food was good. Small portions.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Activities were same as other Fun Ships, but lacked excitement mainly because the activities staff were not enthusiastic or engaging.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Shows had great choreography, but singing was just ok.

Spotlight Lounge

2 out of 5

Comedy performers were not good. First comedian bombed horribly and he actually thought he was funny. He blamed the audience for not laughing.

8 th deck in the front was a perfect location ! We loved our location! The smells were more towards aft rooms . We only noticed smells by the elevators.

We’ll be staying on the 8th deck and near the front as well. Did you feel it rocking in your room?
