The way the room is set up makes it seem smaller and has a lot of unusable space. The balcony narrow, was too small to place the chairs facing out towards the water. The deck above hangs over deck 9 so you don't get any sun.

Ship tip

Not a great boat to try and entertain kids. Good if you want to sit by the pool. The hot tubs all close early. They usually had 1 open until 10.

I miss this cruise. I miss the freedom of running around all day with my friends I made from the teen club. I miss how relaxing and stress free this trip was. We were taken great care of.

A Nice Cruise!
