Review summary

I had way better cruises than this one. This cruise was way by far my worst.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Lack of communication and not well organized.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Same food for 15 days if they have different food they didn't announce or let anyone know. Drink packages suck for both package deals. I order a soda package for my son and they don't give out water have to pay for it. My wife and I had unlimited drink package and always give us a problem when we only wanted to drink water keep saying we have to order a alcoholic drink first.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
No pool activity and no one was young enough to play any activity on the ship, the most popular activity on the ship was Trivia. I've said no one was young enough on the ship to play any activity. The most popular activity on the ship was Trivia.
