Overall, great family vacation. Lots to do and see on the ship- sky ride is awesome like a mini roller coaster. Ropes course is fun for all ages.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
I know there were ~4400 people on our cruise, it was smooth… but be prepared for line after line after line.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The buffet has like 7 options, that is it. Plan to eat at the little side places: Guys burgers, pizza, Mexican, etc. The dining room was ok food.
Drinks there is always lemonade, iced tea and coffee for free. The drink package has lots of options.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
The mega deck party and the 80s night in the pool deck were great… dancing and energy. The parties in the atrium after day 4 are very limited in space and didn’t have as much energy.
Entertainment
2 out of 5
The comedians were NOT funny. One kept looking at her watch every five minutes and couldn’t wait for it to be over either (both shows I saw her in).
Children's Programs
5 out of 5
Grandkids (ages 2-8) had fun in Camp Ocean. Arts and crafts to playing. Teenage kids hung out and played basketball more.
Line after line to get off… the line took about 45 minutes. Easy off other than that. The passport line was much longer than the birth certificate line.
Glad you had a good cruise. Yes with 4400 people trying to get in one door, there will be lines. To avoid lines at embarkation and debarkation, just sit over to the side and wait till the line ends. For the buffet, if you mean 7 main entree choices then maybe but there must be 50 or more choices in the whole buffet.
