Review summary

From start to finish we had an amazing time. The ship was a little confusing with the galley being in the middle but overall we loved and will sail on her again next year.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Norfolk is my least favorite port because of embarkation being so slow. However I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly my family which included one with a wheelchair and a walker was able to board the ship. Typically even with handicap family members it still takes forever to get on at this port but this experience was by far the quickest.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

It’s the same food I am use to on cruises, but it is consistently good always comes out the right temperature and tastes great.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5

I always have a wonderful experience with my child on the kids club the only issue that I ran into was my son was injured by another child and no one let me know, I had to find out from my child. But it does get really busy and I was able to call them and they said that they were looking for me and wanted to explain what happened. I wish they had a better way of communicating with families on the cruise ship like using the hub app.

It was your standard balcony perfect for our family of 3

Ship tip

The ship can be confusing because the galley in the middle of the ship blocks you from going from one end to the other so look at the maps constantly at the elevators.
