Review summary

It was great to get back to cruising! The ship was at reduced capacity, which was nice. The food was very good, and we did use other venues to eat. The only problem we had was a frequent smell of pot smoke coming from somewhere forward of our balcony. They need a camera on each balcony to catch these a**holes and ban them.

Ropes Course

My 6 year old grandaughter loved the ropes course. The young lady from England (sorry, forgot her name) was great.

Entertainment

No shows happening, but piano bar was still good.

Service and Staff

They were short-handed, but did a great job.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

We had sailed on the Breeze, so we knew the layout. Ship was immaculate. They were constantly cleaning.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our balcony room was adjoining our daughter's room. It was a great layout. The rooms were spotless, and our steward was great.

Ship tip

Study the layout of the ship prior to your cruise, and try to eat at different locations.

They need to rework the kids splash area. It is falling apart. It took an hour to scrub off the black residue from the rubber mats the put over the deck!
