I played some dodgeball, ping pong, beanbag toss, went to the fitness center, and relaxed in the hot tubs. I had an amazing time doing these activities.

Ship Quality

I had already been on this ship 3 other times so I was familiar with the location of where everything was. The crew kept the common areas very clean and maintained.

I wasn't the biggest fan of how low the upper Pullan had to sit. The room had plenty of space for our luggage.
