Review summary

This cruise was so much fun. I highly recommend it. Make sure if you're going to stay in Long Beach the night before, or several days before, do your research so that you can enjoy Long Beach too. We didn't do that before and I regret that.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
This was the most efficient and quickest I've ever gotten on the ship! Lines were fast and there were TONS of staff to help and make the process enjoyable. Very fun!!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Lines moved much quicker on this cruise compared to previous cruises I've been on.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the arcade, fitness center, sun deck, and serenity area. The water slide was closed :(

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I wish the DJ would have played more authentic music. Like island music, or Latin music rather than what's popular in America. The dancer from England, Ashley, was my favorite to watch. She was such a great dancer, very energetic, always interacted with the crowd and was very friendly to talk to after the show!!!

Children's Programs

I don't have kids, but from what I saw, there were TONS of activities for them. The Build A Bear was cute!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Dian, our room steward was so friendly and remembered everyone's name. Abbey, our waiter was a blast, extremely friendly, very professional and we loved seeing him every night. Adam, our cruise director was fun and energetic!!

Always take advantage of the seaside village

Lots of us try to stay at least the night before. This is even more true in the Northern Winter months.
