Review summary

Once on the ship we had a good time. The ship is easy to get around. Enjoyed the water slides, trivia in Ocean Plaza, walking the jogging track and our balcony.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Horrible!!! Got in line at Cedar Grove parking lot at 11:47. Finally on board at 3:00. Would have been much longer but we had a mobility scooter so we got to take a different shuttle and check in at the disability check in which was a small line. If we didn’t have the scooter it would have been close to 5:00.

Disembarkation

Better than embarkation but took forever to get a elevator since we had a scooter. Finally after 3 calls they finally came to our deck and helped us get to deck 3.
