Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

I didn't really participant in many activities, but I did enjoy the fitness center and the water works area. I think if they had more than one pool aboard the ship I might of tried the pool.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

If this a newly renovated ship, I am a little disappointed of the size of the interior staterooms and where they expect the third or fourth person to sleep.

Ship tip

If going to the duty free shop the first night is the best night to go. Go to your reserved dining at least once to enjoy a great experience. If you have more than two adults in an interior room on this boat you might want to upgrade.
