Review summary

We had a great time on this cruise and are all very excited for another one!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The embarkation process went very smoothly. It was a very time consuming process since there were so many people who needed to embark, but everyone working were very efficient in their jobs.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
There was always food available whenever we wanted it. The quality of the food in the buffets was not the best and did not taste the greatest. The burritos at BlueIguana Cantina and the burgers at Guy's Burger Joint were both great. We dined each night at the Destiny restaurant which also had some really great food.

Destiny Dining Room

5 out of 5

The venue was very nice and the waiters we had were incredibly attentive. They were Vergel, Andrea, and Givens.

We went to the shows every night and had a really great time each night we went. My favorite singer in the group was Priscilla! She has an incredible voice!
